LA PAZ ( Mob kill 17 yr old boy over attempted robbery - They set him on fire and refuse to give him to police )

LA PAZ – A 17-year-old boy in the central Bolivian province of Cochabamba died en route to the hospital after he was set on fire by a mob over an alleged attempted robbery, authorities said Wednesday.

The boy and his 18-year-old friend were seized last Friday night in the town of Eterazama by a crowd who came running after they heard shouts of alarm about an attempt to steal a motorcycle, the Bolivian press said.

Ignoring pleas from authorities to hand over the suspects, the town’s roughly 500 residents held the youths until Monday night, when they doused them with gasoline and set the younger one on fire.

The boy who was set ablaze died in the ambulance that carried him away from Eterazama, the administrator of Viedma hospital, Gaston Osorio, said.

Authorities were able to rescue the other youth alive.

The 17-year-old’s death brings to five the number of purported criminals killed by mobs in Bolivia in less than a month.

In each of the recent lynchings, participants claimed to be acting under a constitutional provision that recognizes traditional, communitarian justice.

The relevant provision, however, expressly bans the death penalty.

The office of Bolivia’s national ombud condemned the vigilante violence in Cochabamba as “the joint action of a multitude blinded by rage, mistrust and uncontrolled irrationality.”

“We have demanded an end to the impunity that surrounds these deeds,” the ombud’s office said in a statement. “There are now hundreds of cases that have brought no response from the justice system.” EFE

California ( Serial Rapist who raped 40 woman - To be released from "mental hospital " ) Lawyer said he's ok ? OMG

A convicted serial rapist who has been ordered released under strict supervision in Los Angeles County embraced intensive treatment for years while locked in a state mental hospital and is not a public safety risk, his attorney said Wednesday.

Christopher Evans Hubbart's request for release was supported by his treating psychologist at Coalinga State Hospital and the hospital's medical director, said Santa Clara County Deputy Public Defender Jeff Dunn.


Dunn said his 62-year-old client will have to wear an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet, report his movements and submit to regular lie detector and other tests once he is conditionally freed. Hubbart, he said, would be part of a program that has supervised the release of more than 20 sexually violent predators without any committing new attacks.
"He's agreeing to all of these things and has embraced them as part of his treatment," Dunn said. "I do not believe that he's going to re-offend."
Dunn's comments come amid growing alarm in Los Angeles County over a Santa Clara County judge's decision in May to conditionally release Hubbart, who admitted sexually assaulting dozens of women in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Los Angeles County supervisors expressed concern this week that Hubbart would pose a serious risk to public safety and Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey filed legal paperwork Tuesday in an attempt to have Hubbart released in Santa Clara County instead of Los Angeles.
A Santa Clara County prosecutor said Hubbart will be released once appropriate housing is set up and approved by the judge, a process that could take six months to a year.
Hubbart is among more than 500 offenders in California who have been confined under a law that allows authorities to commit sexually violent predators to state hospitals if they are deemed to have mental disorders that make them likely to re-offend, even if — like Hubbart — they have already served their entire prison sentences. He was one of the first to be committed when the law took effect in 1996.
Hubbart was first arrested in 1972 on suspicion of a string of rapes in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties and admitted raping about 20 women in the area, according to court records. He was released from a state hospital in 1979 when state doctors determined that he no longer posed a threat, a federal appeals court said. After moving to the Bay Area, Hubbart sexually assaulted more than 23 women during the next two years, according to Los Angeles County prosecutors.
In 1996, at the request of the Santa Clara County district attorney's office, Hubbart was declared a "sexually violent predator" and committed to a state hospital for treatment. Rather than attempting a "cure," the treatment focuses on helping patients identify what led them to commit sexual violence and develop and practice responses to reduce the chance of re-offending, according to the California Department of State Hospitals.
A department spokesman said that 23 sexually violent predators have been conditionally released since 2006. Of those, six were returned to state hospital and one was sent to prison.
Hubbart's lawyer said that the conditional release program's record was detailed in court as part of his client's request for release and that the program's director testified that none of the patients were accused of attacking new victims. Some, Dunn said, were returned to a state hospital for minor violations of their release conditions, such as failing to report a contact with a member of the public. Dunn said one was convicted of possessing child pornography, though it was unclear whether the illegal material was acquired before or after his return home from the state hospital.
Hubbart, the lawyer said, completed in-patient treatment for sexually violent predators last year and his years of therapy included continuous tests by psychologists, lie detector tests, and monitoring of his behavior in the hospital and how he treated female staff members. Hubbart's age also makes him less likely to rape again, Dunn said.
The attorney said he hopes authorities in Los Angeles will become involved with the team of officials who will supervise Hubbart's treatment following his release.
"By working collaboratively with them, they'll be doing a better job at protecting the public," Dunn said.

Walmart News ( Employee fired for telling a Customer its to hot to leave a Dog in the Car )

Carla Cheney, a former Walmart employee from Kemptville, Canada, claims she was fired for alerting a customer that he shouldn't leave his dog in a hot car.

More on Yahoo!: Why Walmart's Shelves Are Empty

On Wednesday, shortly before beginning her shift, Cheney saw the customer put his Newfoundland—a large breed with a heavy black coat—in his truck and roll up the windows, reports the Ottawa Citizen. Cheney, who worked in the Walmart pharmacy, called the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and later confronted the dog owner after he left the store, telling him that "he should not be leaving his dog in the car." He responded that it was none of her business.

Later that day, Cheney was called into her the office of her manager to whom, she told CBC News, she had mentioned another dog being left in a car the previous week. "I was pretty upset and I said to [him], 'What do I do?' He said it was none of our business and went into the store." In this case, her manager said she should come to him directly with any problems in the future. Cheney said she didn't agree with that policy. "So I [told him] if I did see something unsafe, that I would just go to the police if I thought it was necessary." The manager then told her she was fired and she should gather her things and leave the building. According to reports, another employee, Sean Dhaliwal, was also fired in late June from the same Walmart for warning a customer against leaving a dog in his van.On Thursday afternoon, Walmart Canada posted a release on its Facebook page denying that Cheney was fired for "trying to help a dog in a locked car." It continues, "The decision to dismiss an associate is one that we take extremely seriously and must follow a comprehensive process. However, out of respect for the associate and for privacy reasons we cannot provide specifics about why this associate was let go." The release also claims that the manager did speak to the customer about the dog and adds, "Walmart is a major supporter and advocate for animal rights. Over the past year alone we have made donations to local SPCAs, the Humane Society and Animal Shelters. In addition, signs will be added to the front of all our stores across the country to advise customers of the dangers of leaving kids and pets in a hot car."

It's an issue that many animal lovers feel strongly about. On Wednesday, Cheney supporters started a Facebook page called Animal Rights for Kemptville Walmart, which already has more than 7,000 members. Shine hasn't been able to reach her for comment, but on Thursday she posted, "Thank you all for your support!! I am currently trying to find a lawyer to help me with all of this. I am feeling very overwhelmed by all the thoughtful words. Bless you all!!!" There is also a petition on Change.org to demand that Walmart train its employees on how to report dogs and children left in cars. In less than 24 hours it has received nearly 1,500 signatures.It may take days or weeks to sort out the facts behind Cheney's claims against Walmart, but what we do know for sure is that leaving a dog—or a child—in a parked car is extremely perilous. So far in 2013, at least 20 children have died of heatstroke from being in left unattended in a motor vehicle.

Some estimates put the number of dogs that die each year from being left in a hot car in the thousands.
"Many people do not realize how quickly cars heat up, people think its OK to leave your dog in a car for just a few minutes," Dr. Louise Murray, vice president of the ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital, told Yahoo! Shine. Murray, who is also a veterinarian specializing in internal medicine, says cracking the windows won't make a difference, and the vehicle can also become dangerously hot on an overcast day.
According to Petfinder, on a day when it's about 70 degrees, the temperature inside a parked car can rise 40 degrees in an hour—mostly during the first 30 minutes. And it may not matter if the windows are cracked or the car is in the shade. The Chicago Tribune reports that on an 85-degree day, the dashboard can heat up to 170 degrees in a mere 15 minutes.

Last summer, Dr. Ernie Ward, a veterinarian, conducted an experiment that he videoed and posted on YouTube. He sat in a parked car with the windows cracked to a little more than an inch for 30 minutes on a 94-degree day. After five minutes, the temperature had reached 100 degrees. In 15 minutes, it was 110 degrees. After 30 minutes, the doctor felt ill and was covered in sweat, and the car's interior temperature had hit 117 degrees.But dogs don't perspire like humans—which is one of the reasons why they can succumb to heatstroke in a matter of minutes. The Maryland-based Partnership for Animal Welfare explains on its website,"Dogs cool themselves by panting and by sweating through their paws. If they have only overheated air to breathe, animals can collapse, suffer brain damage and possibly die of heatstroke. Just 15 minutes can be enough for an animal's body temperature to climb from a normal 102.5 to deadly levels that will damage the nervous and cardiovascular systems, often leaving the animal comatose, dehydrated and at risk of permanent impairment or death."

While the laws in the United States vary, given the health risks of parked vehicles, most allow peace officers and animal enforcement agents to break into cars in order to rescue a dog. Fourteen states specifically prohibit leaving an unattended pet in a car at all.

If you do see a dog left in a car, especially during the warmer months, the ASPCA recommends calling 911 or your local animal control immediately. If you suspect the owner is in a nearby store, alert the manager as well.
