SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - "Pretty callous" is how the Santa Cruz
police chief describes it. Convenience store surveillance
tapes show a man being shot in the back of the head in what
police believe was a gang dispute. But before police arrived
on the scene business continued as usual. The tapes showed
customers continuing their shopping while the victim was on
the floor, even stepping over the dying man to get to the
counter. The man later died at a hospital. |

BEJING, China - Beijing's most popular newspaper feel hook line and sinker for an article printing in the US. They reprinted the
article, and sent it out to all of their subscribers. It was about the U.S. Congress' threats to skip town for
Memphis or some other city. It said that if Washington didn't give them a new building, Congress was leaving.
Their Reliable news source? ... The Onion... HA!
An Onion News editors comments....
"The story was written by one of our freelance writers,
His stuff has been pretty much reliable before."
