Watch this judge brutally berate a woman in a wheelchair. The woman died. The judge has quit.
A Broward County circuit judge delivered a blistering, arm-waving, face-palming, tongue-lashing to a frail, out-of-breath woman - pushed into court in a wheelchair - who was facing misdemeanor charges following a family feud. Three days later, the defendant died. Judge Merrillee Ehrlich has resigned, although it is unclear when that resignation was provided and when it becomes effective. News of the death of Sandra Faye Twiggs, 59, surfaced Friday. The courtroom rant last Sunday was so over the top that Broward's elected public defender, Howard Finkelstein, demanded that Judge Merrilee Ehrlich be banned from the criminal courthouse. "It is not appropriate for anyone to endure that kind of treatment,"

Neo-Nazis are marching in Georgia today, but this town figured out clever ways to fight back
A neo-Nazi march is scheduled for Saturday in the small Georgia city of Newnan, about 40 miles southwest of Atlanta. Anti-fascist counter-protesters are expected as well, and a local church will hold an interfaith service to promote "peace and unity" during the rally. To prepare for the event, local shopkeepers have removed anything that could be moved or thrown in public spaces, and many will not open for business to decrease opportunities for conflict. Many Newnan residents went shopping the night before to help make up the missing revenue.

'Perfect' 25-year marriage ends in bloodshed at Missouri salon, baffling loved ones
Their marriage was the envy of friends and relatives, until it ended in bloodshed Friday morning, violence that seemed to come out of nowhere. Paul Truss had a sister who was killed by her husband about a decade ago in Kansas City. So Paul "knew that kind of pain," said Angela Monroe, a longtime friend. She was in disbelief that the man she recalled growing up with attending a Pentecostal church in Kansas City, Kan., and later asking to be her child's godfather, would kill his wife, Chantille, and then take his own life. "I know things don't just happen. I'm sure there's something, but to most people in their lives, they were just that couple," Monroe said. "Turbulence" had been building in the
