Cop Shoots Teen In St. Louis

17 Cop Shoots Teen In St. Louis Daily Dot

A police officer shot and killed a teenager on Wednesday night in St. Louis, Mo. Eight and a half weeks before, and about 12 miles away, another officer, Darren Wilson, shot and killed another youth, unarmed teenager Michael Brown, sparking still-ongoing protests. Police have yet to release the name of the young man's shot Wednesday, but relatives have identified him as 18-year-old VonDerrit Myers, Jr. Sources agree that a teenage black male fled an attempted “pedestrian check” late on Oct. 8, and an officer gave chase. What happened next is disputed: the official report is that the teenager fired at least three times at the officer with a firearm following a “physical altercation,” prompting the policeman fire 17 shots—though it’s unclear how many of these shots hit the teenager. Others, however, claim otherwise: “He was unarmed,” relative Teyonna Myers told the St. Louis Post Dispatch. “He had a sandwich in his hand, and they thought it was a gun. It’s Michael Brown all over again.” St. Louis police say they have ballistic evidence and have recovered a firearm from the scene. Law enforcement have not named the teenager, but other reports have identified him as Vonderrit Myers Jr. He was “no stranger to law enforcement,” St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said. The shooting sparked immediate street protests of up to 300 people, the Post Dispatch reports, staging sit-ins on the street and chants including “black lives matter” and “hands up don’t shoot.” Tensions have been consistently high in the area ever since Wilson shot Brown in Ferguson, Mo., a St. Louis suburb. Wilson has not been charged.

A Gun That Shoots Money

25 A Gun That Shoots Money Daily Dot

The Money Gun. It’s literally a gun that shoots money. These days, the line between real and hoax Kickstarters can seem far too thin. This campaign to manufacture Money Guns is real enough, but its video looks dangerously close to a YouTube parody. Pay $250 (or $5,000 for the gold-plated version), for the opportunity to throw money at strangers! Rather than being a satirical comment on crowdfunding, the Money Gun is actually marketed as a promotional tool for parties and events, kind of like a t-shirt cannon. Invented by entrepreneur Michael Schexnayder, it’s based on a toy gun and can be manufactured using 3D printing. It’s easy to imagine it being a good product for party planners and club promoters, but the Kickstarter’s $50,000 goal is a big ask. Unfortunately, the thing most people probably want from a Money Gun Kickstarter is their own Money Gun, and the cheapest versions are $250 each. If they were already available in stores or online, they’d probably sell to frat houses and nightclubs. But on Kickstarter, where many customers are motivated partly by altruism, the Money Gun may be having problems finding an audience. Still, if you have a burning desire to make it rain at your next birthday party, you still have four days to pre-order a Money Gun. It makes for a unique Christmas gift, to say the least.

Kicked Off JetBlue Flight For Tweeting

26 Kicked Off JetBlue Flight For Tweeting Complex

Imagine your flight got delayed four hours because some passengers were joking about the pilot being drunk. You'd probably be annoyed, and if you're an active Twitter user, there's no doubt you would throw some shade via tweets at the airline. Or maybe don't do that? That's the lesson learned by New Hampshire's own Lisa Carter-Knight, who dared to Tweet her anguish about her JetBlue flight from Philadelphia to Boston being delayed, with all the passengers made to leave the plane, all because the flight's pilot had to undergo a sobriety test due to a joking passenger asking if he had just been at the bar. JetBlue, showing an intensity and no-f**ks-given attitude usually reserved for dictators who rule with an iron fist, refused to let Carter-Knight back on the flight when it boarded again, refunding her but refusing to rebook her on another flight. Whoops. Carter-Knight was rightfully pissed, complaining that the airline had denied her a flight home to her three children.
