Cheat Sheet - She Was Murdered for Her iPhone

Read This, Skip That ....

May 08, 2014
SENSELESS
"Apple picking" is more sinister than it sounds—just ask the family of 23-year-old Megan Boken, one of many slain by thieves going after iPhones. Michael Daly reports on the momentum building to force manufacturers to install 'kill switches' that render stolen phones inoperable, and save potential victims' lives.

Apparently Donald Sterling thinks only terrorists get their phone calls tapped. Another secret recording of the billionaire Clippers owner has him declaring, "I'm not a racist." In the recording, Sterling also laments that nobody came to his defense. "It breaks my heart that Magic Johnson, a guy that I respect so much, wouldn't stand up and say, 'Well let's get the facts. Let's get him and talk to him.' Nobody tried. Nobody!" Meanwhile, his estranged wife and co-owner of the team, Shelly Sterling, said on Wednesday that she has the right to hold onto the team, and will fight NBA attempts to remove the family.

AIR TERRORISTS
A shameful court decision in Texas ruling no restitution for a company polluting a Corpus Christi neighborhood shows why we need to see pollution for what it is: violence, usually against the poor and vulnerable. Jedediah Purdy writes it should be prosecuted as such.
