And this is why I occasionally hate my country's justice system. Granted, shit will get done the right way; but this is where one of times when they drop the ball. He should have been incarcerated on the spot rather than being slapped on the wrist like this.
Wait, what? I thought he had to pay and that he was going to prison for like 8 years? Did the judge suddenly get lenient with him?
Wikipedia has a (sourced) claim that he will spend between 5-12 years in prison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Fogle#Criminal_investigation_and_plea_agreement
But that might be out of date.

Hmm. Violent murders seem to be spreading more and more in Costa Rica. With gang leaders of three major bands captured and in prison, the middle powers among them have taken to disputes, increasing the rates of homicides due to revenge from up to 215% from one year to another in the last 5 years...
Most of the deaths have to do with people involved in the business: They and their associates hwo threathen the power of the bands are killed. On occasion, it is their families (Brothers. Sons, mostly) to get the point across and to tell them to back off
Prison does not seem to do much.

While you're in the middle of drunk driving is probably not the best time to start livestreaming to your friends. Emphasis mine.
Police in Lakeland, Florida, have identified the driver as 23-year-old Whitney Marie Beall. She was arrested and faces a charge of driving under the influence. Her attorney reportedly released a statement saying that Beall would not be giving any interviews any time soon. "She is a young professional with a bright future. When her court date is set, I will be entering a plea on her behalf of not guilty," attorney Lee Cohen said in a statement reported by CNN affiliate WFLA. "I'll be investigating the case and that starts now. I am waiting to see all the evidence, and I will take a look at it," Cohen said.
Police began getting calls about Beall on Saturday from people who saw the live stream and were concerned. "She was out of it. And it's obvious from watching that livestreaming video how bad she was," Lakeland police Sgt. Gary Gross told CNN affiliate Bay News 9.
Officers found Beall, who, in fact, was driving on a flat tire, police said in a statement. Just as a traffic stop was started, her car hit the curb. According to police, Beall's speech was slow and officers smelled alcohol. She also allegedly appeared to be disoriented. Beall was arrested after she refused a breathalyzer and failed field sobriety tests.
"The streaming Periscope video highlights the dangers of driving while intoxicated through the eyes of a drunk and irresponsible young adult," said police. "The Lakeland Police Department is extremely thankful that this did not result in an accident and no one was injured as a result of her poor decision."

It's very unusual for Sweden, as well. Here in Finland we had a couple of school shootings relatively recently (as in, the last 10 years) and Norway, of course, had the mass shooting at Utoya, against a political youth group. Sweden hasn't had anything like that for a long time - I think this is their second attack in any school in the past 20 years or something.
And of course it's totally bizarre.

For the US sword swinging loonies and criminals is not that weird. Swords as weapons of crime in the US oddly frequently involve a Katana style sword.

Who watches the watchmen?
Apparently the guy had racial/anti-immigrant motivations, and at least had interests in the far-right (as if the helmet wasn't a blatant enough clue).

So, apparently there was a Serial Killer operating in Ontario. Multiple police forces have completed an investigation and arrested and charged a former nurse with 8 counts of homicide. The victims were all patients in nursing homes where the suspect used to work. The cause of death in seven of the cases was drug overdoses.

Does the shit the people behind the Dakota pipelinr have been doing count as a crime ?
Depending on regulations present, they may be held accountable for the clean up/costs. And if negligence is found that could (key word) result in charges.

Australian burglar shot in bottom with bow and arrow
The intruder stole cash, car keys and other property from the house in Sydney on Sunday afternoon.
The homeowner, a 68-year-old man, used a compound bow to challenge the thief as he tried to steal a car.
The robber fled the vehicle and jumped a fence but was shot in the backside as he ran to a parked getaway car.
He managed to use the vehicle to escape. It was not immediately clear from reports how serious his injuries were.
Police forensic officers will examine the scene at Wattle Grove, in the city's southwest.
The bow and arrow were seized as evidence.
Australian laws do not always favour the homeowner when an intruder is injured or killed, taking into account whether a person acted in self-defence or used "excessive force".
Compound bows are not banned in New South Wales and do not require a licence or permit.
Sounds like the howeowner might be in a bit of trouble here; self defense laws in the Commonwealth generally don't extend to retreating crooks.

A procrastination in of itself
Yeah that sounds similar to the UK case of a guy getting done for murder because he shot a fleeing burglar in the back.
You're not defending yourself when they're running away.

Dylann Roof has been sentenced to death for the Charleston church shooting.
It's sad, but it's not hard to say he deserves it.

Hey.
So, there was a pretty extreme arson spree in rural Newfoundland this morning. A man, who is now in custody, torched the local school, townhall, and the area's RCMP detachment. The later might be salvageable, but the other two are probably write offs. The townhall also contained a local museum, which was gutted and its contents obviously can't be replaced.

So this asshole basically tore the administrative and cultural heart out of the community. I'm thinking some sort of grudge was at play here, this is too extreme to be an impulsive act of vandalism.

And now he'll sit on death row for a decade and a half while he uses up his appeals in vain, wasting taxpayer dollars and affecting Canadian economy in the process (not that Drumpf's not gonna do that anyway or anything), Smfh.
How does Dylan Roof impact the Canadian economy?
I wouldn't be surprised if Roof pulls a Timothy Mc Veigh and waives all his appeals, essentially committing suicide by state.

Something local, earlier this week graffiti was found at my niece's school promising a school shooting would happen. No incident occurred, but two arrests were made.
This is properly horrifying

Granted, there are restrictions and requirements out the wazoo for him, but being allowed AT ALL bothers me deeply.
More about Jared Fogle
after Subway does an "extensive review" of customer complaints. Emphasis mine, vitriol after the quote.
Fogle last month agreed to plead guilty to child pornography charges and to crossing state lines to pay for sex with minors. He also agreed to pay $1.4 million to 14 of his victims with each receiving $100,000. Failure to do so could result in Fogle having to serve between five and 12-1/2 years in prison.
In the statement, Subway also said it regretted that the comment "was not properly escalated or acted upon" when it was first received. "Since 2011, the company has strengthened its processes for reviewing and escalating customer comments, complaints and inquiries," Subway said.
The company noted that it had immediately suspended its relationship with Fogle when it learned of the criminal investigation against him. Subway also noted that its investigation "found no further evidence" that it had received any other complaints against Fogle.
