"Volusia County School officials stand by a Deltona High School nurse's decision to refuse a student his inhaler during an asthma attack, citing a lack of a parent's signature on a medical release form. "It's like something out of a horror film. The person just sits there and watches you die," said Michael Rudi, 17. "She sat there, looked at me and she did nothing." He said the school dean found his inhaler during a search of his locker last Friday. The inhaler was still in its original packaging -- complete with his name and directions for its use; however, the school took it away because his mother hadn't signed the proper form for him to have it. Quick Clicks Nurse refuses student inhaler during... School leaders called Sue Rudi when her son started having trouble breathing. She rushed to the office and was taken back to the nurse's office by school administrators and they discovered the teen on the floor. "As soon as we opened up the door, we saw my son collapsing against the wall on the floor of the nurse's office while she was standing in the window of the locked door looking down at my son, who was in full-blown asthma attack," Rudi said. Michael Rudi said when he started to pass out from his attack, the nurse locked the door. "I believe that when I closed my eyes I wasn't going to wake up," he said. The Director of Student Health Services, Cheryl Selesky, said that parents must sign the medical release form each year, which allows students to carry their prescribed drugs with them in school. This year, the district had no record of his Rudi's signature, said Selesky. "I mean its common sense if I saw an animal on the street in distress I would probably stop to help, why wouldn't she help a child," Sue Rudi said. But Rudi is a senior, and his mother said the district has had records of his asthma throughout his years in the school. She thinks her son could have died because of a technicality. "How dare you deny my son something that we all take for granted, breath," said Sue Rudi. "Why didn't someone call 911?" Selesky said the district is looking into whether proper procedures were followed by the school, and while nurses can't give medications without the proper authorization, it is district policy to call 911 when a student cannot breath. Selesky could not explain why 911 was never called. "I understand if you can't give it to him call 911," Sue Rudi said. "Why did you not call 911?" Sue Rudi said she worries about the next student caught in a similar situation, and has filed charges against the nurse with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office. "I want to press child endangerment charges for something they did to my son," Rudi said in the 911 call. Local 6 reached out to the school district officials for more information, but they declined to interview."

"A Miami police officer fatally shot a naked man chewing the face of another man Saturday afternoon on a downtown causeway off-ramp, officials said. The Miami Herald reported that the naked man chewed off half the face of his victim, who is struggling for his life. The violence started at 2 p.m. on the MacArthur Causeway off-ramp, just south of the Herald’s offices, the newspaper said. Witnesses said that a woman saw two men fighting and flagged down a police officer, who came upon the naked man mauling the other man, the Herald reported. Advertise | AdChoices The officer, who was not identified, ordered the naked man to back away, but when the man continued the assault, the officer shot him, the Herald said. Witnesses told the Herald the wounded attacker continued to eat his victim, so the officer continued firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half-dozen shots, the Herald said. The naked man was later seen lying face down on the pedestrian walkway just below the newspaper’s two-story parking garage, the Herald said. The naked man’s victim was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center and had critical injuries, police told the Herald. Neither man was identified. “Based on the information provided, our Miami police officer is a hero and saved a life,’’ Javier Ortiz, spokesman for Miami police’s Fraternal Order of Police, told the Herald. A police department news release about the shooting did not include many details provided by witnesses to the newspaper. Police requested the newspaper's video surveillance video, the Herald reported. The shooting and investigation tied up causeway traffic as crowds were arriving at South Beach for an annual Urban Beach Week hip-hop festival."

" Deputies: Man stole golf cart at knifepoint in nudist resort By Barbara Hijek May 27, 2012 08:03 AM Milton Hodges, 20, a homeless man, allegedly jumped a wall to get into the Cypress Cove Nudist Resort after robbing two cashiers at a Lowe's, reports the Orlando Sentinel. Once inside the nudist resort Hodges allegedly drew a large knife from his pants and carjacked a golf cart from a security guard, according to reports. As one of the only folks wearing clothing, Hodges was easily spotted by deputies who arrested him at gunpoint. "

Do security guards at nudists resorts have to be naked too? I'd imagine it would be difficult to appear intimidating with your cock out

" Vet's prosthetic hand reeled out to sea during fishing tournament SOUTH FLA. — A south Florida fisherman nearly lost more than the catch of the day this Memorial Day weekend. Jack Wiseman, a wounded war veteran, was participating in an annual fishing tournament when a fish pulled too hard on his reel and popped out his prosthetic arm. Wiseman watched as it sank into the sea. "The hand snapped off the prosthetic device, still hooked to the rod, and the rod and the reel and the hand went down into the water," said Wiseman. The captain of that boat attempted to stop the fish before it had gone too far. Luckily, another fisherman hooked the exact same fish later on, and returned the prosthetic limb to Wiseman. "

Outrage as police shoot and kill the wrong man in hunt for attempted murder suspect, after showing up unannounced in the middle of the night

Quote :

"An innocent man was shot dead by police after deputies mistook him for an attempted murder suspect. Lake County, Florida officers showed up at the Blueberry Hill apartment of Andrew Scott at around 1.30am on Sunday Roused from his bed in the middle of the night by an unknown presence at his property, Andrew Scott answered the door holding a gun. Officers had not announced who they were because they did not want the man they thought was inside, Jonathan Brown, to escape. sheriff's spokesman Lt. John Herrell said their silence was 'tactically advantageous'. On seeing that Scott was armed officers immediately opened fire with a shower of bullets that killed the 26-year-old and left several holes in his front door."

that's what he gets for driving a chevy metro.

8/21/2012 7:57:29 PM

That's insane, how is that possible? How has that not made it to the supreme court yet?

8/21/2012 8:02:32 PM

Because it's completely legal sentencing.

Felony murder. He was a co-conspirator to a burglary, an active participant in the burglary by admitting he knew what they were going to use the car to do. And once you get the ball rolling on a felony, you are responsible for EVERYTHING that happens during the commission of the felony.

8/21/2012 8:06:53 PM

How can he have pre-meditated a murder when he thought the car was going to be used for a burglary? Isn't that a requirement for first degree murder?

Also don't you have to, I don't know, kill someone?

Not saying he is innocent here, but he sure as hell isn't guilty of first degree murder.

[Edited on August 21, 2012 at 8:27 PM. Reason : ]

8/21/2012 8:25:04 PM

He didn't. You don't need premeditation for felony murder, which gets you murder 1. That's why some people think it's wrong to have felony murder as a route to get First Degree Murder conviction, even though that is the intent of the law.

[Edited on August 21, 2012 at 8:26 PM. Reason : He intended the burglary, he participated in the burglary, which ended in murder = felony murder.]

8/21/2012 8:26:19 PM

If you loan someone a pen knowing that it is going to be used to write a bad check, the cashier calls the guy out on it, and the guy writing the check murders him, are you also a murderer?

8/21/2012 8:29:02 PM

What the hell kind of classification is "felony murder"

Is there a misdemeanor murder or something?

8/21/2012 8:31:29 PM

^^No, murder is not a foreseeable consequence of a bad check. Murder is a foreseeable consequence of burglary.

^Felony murder is murder in the First Degree. It just doesn't require intent to murder.
