The Brooklyn man used a similar kitchen implement to sever his wife’s arm.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT – Last week, Niagara Falls Police aided by agents from NYPD and U.S. Marshals Violent Fugitive Task Force arrested 35-year-old Yong Lu. The Brooklyn man has been on the run since he allegedly chopped off his pregnant wife’s arm in a fit of anger.

Brooklyn Man Planned on Swimming to Canada, Authorities Declared

On Saturday, a police task force took Lu into custody. The suspect was inside the One Niagara food court when he was identified by a police officer. He was arrested without any incidents.

According to an NYPD spokesperson, the Brooklyn man has been sought by the authorities ever since his wife’s been admitted to a New York hospital with a severed limb.

Lu’s wife told the police that on Thursday, around noon, she got into an argument with her husband. Reportedly, Lu became angry because the couple’s 7-year-old son was late from school.

Things took a turn for the worse, as Lu picked up a steak knife and assaulted his wife. Following the attack, the woman lost her right arm and two fingers from the left arm.

When she arrived at the hospital, the ER doctors decided to place her in an induced coma, as Lu’s wife was pregnant. Reportedly, the surgeons have been successful in reattaching Mrs. Lu’s severed limb.

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn man confessed that after assaulting his pregnant wife, he planned on fleeing the country. More than that, he said that he had been more than willing to swim to Canada.

Conclusion

 

The authorities managed to track down the suspect after a bus driver notified the police about a man who wanted to ride illegally on a bus. Allegedly, Lu approached the bus driver and asked him if he could ride to Canada in the vehicle’s luggage compartment.

Beauty Blogger Tears Down Kat von D’s Anti-Vaxx Post with Pictures of Son with Measles

June 15, 2018 By Clayton Meason

Kat von D

Kat Von D’s overtly anti-vaxx attitude torn down by a beauty blogger.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT – Last week, Kat Von D, the famous tattoo artist, managed to rile up her fans after writing on her Instagram account that she’s not going to vaccinate her unborn child. And now, a beauty blogger tears down Kat von D’s intention of raising a ‘natural and vegan child’ sharing a picture of her son struggling with measles.

Beauty Blogger Claims Vaccine Could have Ended Her Child’s Ordeal

Celebrated ink artist Kat Von D received her fair share if public backlash after she announced on Instagram that she has no intention to vaccinate her child. More that, according to Von D’s post, the infant will be born via a “drug-free” and midwife/doula home birth and in water, on top of that.

Of course, comments came pouring down like Hellfire as soon as Von D hit the ‘publish’ button. As expected, most commenters criticized the artist’s life choices, calling her post embarrassing. Others said that people making the same choices as Kat Von D puts even more lives at risk.

A commenter, who goes by the name of abonvil wrote that her choice to be openly anti-vaccines puts immunocompromised patients at risks such as small children or the elderly.

I knew the minute we announced our pregnancy that we would be bombarded with unsolicited advice. Some good and some questionable – unsolicited none the less. I also was prepared for the backlash and criticism we would get if we decided to be open about our personal approach to our pregnancy. My own Father flipped out on me when I told him we decided to ditch our doctor and go with a midwife instead. If you don’t know what it’s like have people around you think you are ridiculous, try being openly vegan. And, if you don’t know what it’s like to have the entire world openly criticize, judge, throw uninformed opinions, and curse you – try being an openly pregnant vegan on Instagram, having a natural, drug-free home birth in water with a midwife and doula, who has the intention of raising a vegan child, without vaccinations. My point being: I already know what it’s like to make life choices that are not the same as the majority. So your negative comments are not going influence my choices – actual research and educating myself will – which i am diligently doing. This is my body. This is our child. And this is our pregnancy journey. Feel free to follow me on here if you like what I’m about – whether it’s tattooing, lipstick, Animal Rights, sobriety, feminism, ridiculous gothiness, black flower gardening, cats, or my adorable husband. But if you don’t dig a certain something about what I post, i kindly ask that you press the unfollow button and move the fuck on. So before anyone of you feel inspired to tell me how to do this, I would appreciate you keeping your unsolicited criticism to yourself. More importantly, for those who have amazing positive energy to send my way, I will gladly and graciously receive it with love! X

However, Caroline Hirons, a well-known beauty blogger, dropped the proverbial microphone after she shared a photo of her 23-year-old son. Hirons said that when her son was little, he got the measles. She also said that the disease weakened him up to the point of being carried to the hospital by two ambulances.

Conclusion

The beauty blogger explained that her son was dehydrated and withering away. It took four IV bags to rehydrate the child. To end her post, Hirons wrote that a simple vaccine could have spared her child of having to fight for his life.

UK family wants CCTV in nursing homes after witnessing the systematic humiliation of patients by staff.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT – A UK family demands CCTV in a nursing home after having witnessed how their 71-year-old, gravely ill mother, has been abused by staff members. The family of Joy Lewis declared that her mother was refused food and water for hours, despite the nurses knowing that she has diabetes.

UK Family Says Staff Denied Allegations

Joy Lewis’ family was shocked when they’ve discovered that the staff of the nursing home were the woman had been committed abused and neglected the 71-year-old woman.

In an interview for The Mirror, Joy’s daughter told a member of the press that her mother had been committed to the unnamed institution several years ago. Joy has Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s disease, and, according to her daughter, diabetes.

Joy’s family became suspicious during their latest visit to the London-based nursing home. According to Joy’s daughter, she found her mother sitting alone in the corner of the room as if she was intentionally segregated from the rest of the patients. When she asked a member of the staff about her mother’s isolation, a nurse told her that Joy was confused and that she demanded to be placed away from the patients.

Still, Joy’s daughter found more evidence pointing at staff abuse. During the interview, she said that her mother’s arms were covered in bruises and that she had bed sores.

Concerned for her mother’s safety, Joy’s daughter and his son-in-law, decided to install a hidden camera in the woman’s room.

Conclusion

The footage revealed that Joy was not the only patient abused by the nursing home’s staff. The UK family recalled seeing a member of the staff yelling at an elderly male patient who soiled his pants.

Furthermore, the footage captured three nurses grabbing Joy by her wrists and pulling her out of bed. Probably the most heart-breaking moment of the recording was having to hear Joy cry out for food, water, and to use the bathroom.

According to a Jackson County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson the incident, which occurred on Saturday, involved a 23-year-old Gran Pass man who allegedly had consumed LSD.

On that day, two deputies were right outside a Gran Pass shop waiting for a car to be taken in tow. Anthony Clark, the intoxicated Oregon man, seized the opportunity and got behind the car’s wheel.

The man led the authorities on a 40-mile high-speed chase through three different cities. During his attempt to elude the authorities, Clark damaged a homeowner’s fence and sped over two police spike traps.

A couple of traffic monitor officers saw Clark driving the wrong way at least a couple of times. The mad racer was taken into custody after ramming a stopped police cruiser.

During questioned, the individual confessed to taking LSD before boarding the vehicle. More than that, according to the authorities, the suspect was having hallucinations, believing that the carjack and high-speed chase were part of a real-life Grand Theft Auto.

In Jackson County, Clark was charged with reckless driving, reckless endangerment, running from a police officer on foot, running from a police officer in a vehicle, driving under the influence, and unauthorized use of a vehicle.

Subsequently, the Ashland Police Department charged the Grand Theft Auto man with first-degree criminal mischief, running from a police officer,  second-degree criminal trespass, and stealing a vehicle.

Texas Teen Diagnosed with Potentially Deadly Muscle Disease after Over Exercising at the Gym

June 4, 2018 By Clayton Meason

gym day

Rhabdomyolysis is a muscle disease caused by traumatic injury and over-exercising.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT – Hitting the gym one too many times nearly killed a Houston teen. Several days after his last gym session, the teen was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with a potentially deadly muscle disease as a result of over-exercising.

Muscle Disease Caused by Over Exercising, Doctors Reveal

Jared Shamburger is a 17-year-old boy from Houston whose passion for staying in shape nearly got him killed.

According to Shamburger’s family, Jared began to feel strange after his latest gym session. His symptoms included weakness, intense muscle pain, and swelling. As the symptoms did not subside, the boy was taken to the hospital.

There, he was diagnosed with Rhabdomyolysis, a potentially deadly disease, usually caused by injury or, in his case, over exercising.

As the ER doctors explained, Rhabdomyolysis weakens the muscle tissue and eventually causes it to break down.

Subsequently, the dying muscle releases a toxin into the bloodstream. In most cases, the toxin carried by the bloodstream can damage the kidneys, leading to kidney failure.

The doctors reveal that, in rare instances, the condition leads to the patient’s death.

Rhabdomyolysis is usually caused by traumatic injuries such as car accidents or falls.

Furthermore, studies revealed that this muscle disease could also be caused by electric shock injuries, snake venom, over-exercising, heat strokes or some type of metabolic disorder.

According to the available literature on the topic, Rhabdomyolysis is difficult to diagnose.

However, most physicians agree on the “classic triad” – decreased urinary output, dark or brown urine, pain, intense muscle pain in the lower back are, thigs, and shoulders.

Conclusion

 

As far as Shamburger is concerned, the 17-year-old is expected to make a complete recovery. More than that, teen’s doctors said that the young man went to the hospital just in the nick of time.

May 31, 2018 By Clayton Meason

Three California teenagers admitted to the hospital following brutal blitz.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT –  California detectives are investigating a blitz and extremely violent encounter that left three California teenagers with extensive head injuries. Based on the police report, the attack was sudden and ‘very targeted.’ Witnesses claim that the attackers used hammers and wore masks to conceal their faces.

One of Three California Teenagers in Critical Condition

Sergeant Brian Cleveland of the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office said that the attack occurred on early Monday morning. Based on the victims’ testimonies, all three teenagers were fast asleep in a garage adjacent to an Aptos residence, when a car pulled outside the home.

Three men came out of the car, went inside the garage, and clobbered the victims. According to Sergeant Cleveland, two of the vics were fast asleep while the third one, a 17-year-old boy was awake.

In only 30 seconds, the masked felons rendered their victims unconscious and removed several items from the garage.

Sergeant Cleveland believes that this attack was targeted, and the assailants could have had a beef with some of the teenagers.

It’s still unclear who called the authorities after the attack. All three California teens were taken to the hospital. The two 16-year-olds were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released home later that day.

Unfortunately, the 17-year-old is still being kept in the hospital’s ICU as his injuries are far more severe. According to a hospital spokesperson, the victim was brought with severe head trauma and a fractured skull.

Conclusion

The doctors were forced to induce an artificial coma, as the teenager kept seizing in the ambulance. Sergeant Cleveland said that the Sheriff’s Office is trying to identify the perpetrators’ getaway vehicle based on the descriptions provided by two on the teens.

For the moment, the only info available is that the suspects could be in their 20s.
