Cheat Sheet - Donald Sterling’s Racism Killed Her


May 14, 2014
MONSTER
Ten years before he was caught on tape making racist remarks, Donald Sterling refused to fix the apartment of a blind, partially paralyzed tenant. "Is she one of those black people that stink?" he was quoted as saying in a lawsuit. "Just evict the bitch." Michael Daly reports on the heartbreaking case of Kandyce Jones, whose mistreatment should've been enough to ban the Sterlings from basketball years ago.
HORROR

A coal mine explosion in western Turkey on Tuesday has left at least 205 people dead so far. According to the country's energy minister, 787 people were inside the mine at Soma in Manisa province when the blast took place. The minister believes it was the result of an electrical fault. Only 360 people, including the dead, have been accounted for. While rescuers have been working through the night, hopes for more survivors are fading fast.

SAY WHAT?

Rob Ford isn't the only Canadian in trouble with the police. Tyrannical pop star Justin Bieber is reportedly being investigated by LAPD detectives after a woman accused him of trying to take her cellphone at a miniature golf course on Monday night. The woman says Bieber thought she was taking pictures of him. "He has been accused of attempted robbery," one of the officers involved said. The detective also said they have not interviewed Bieber.

TIRED
While Benghazi has overtaken Obamacare as the GOP's favorite talking point, Eli Lake reports that it's not just Democrats who are opposed to a new select committee looking into the 2012 attack. Many top Republicans, including House intelligence committee chairman Mike Rogers, believe the committee could backfire big time.
DEATH BY ROBOT
Iran has been providing Syria's regime with drones—some of them inspired by American technology—and they're already playing a significant role in keeping Bashar al-Assad in power, reports Patrick Hilsman. Tehran's drone program goes back decades, but it recently announced that it had replicated a top-of-the-line U.S. drone it claims to have captured in 2011.
