Youtube daily report w Jan 20 2017

PENNE, Italy — Rescue workers reported no signs of life Thursday at a four-star hotel buried by an avalanche in the mountains of earthquake-stricken central Italy.

Two bodies were recovered of the estimated 30 people trapped inside as the risk of more avalanches slowed the search effort.

Two people escaped the devastation at the Hotel Rigopiano, a resort and spa in the mountains of the Gran Sasso range, and called for help. It took hours for responders to reach the remote zone on skis.

The snow destroyed parts of the hotel.

Days of heavy snowfall had knocked out electricity and phone lines in many central Italian towns and hamlets, and four powerful earthquakes struck the region on Wednesday. It wasn't immediately clear if any of the quakes triggered the avalanche.

But firefighters said the sheer violence of the 300-yard-wide snow slide on Wednesday uprooted trees in its wake and wiped out parts of the hotel.

The area, which has been buried under as much as 9 feet of snowfall for days, is located in the broad swath of central Italy between Rieti and Teramo that was jolted by Wednesday's quakes, one of which had a 5.7 magnitude.

Accounts emerged of hotel guests messaging rescuers and friends for help Wednesday, with at least one attempt at raising the alarm rebuffed for several hours.

Six Anticipated Linux Games for 2017 - Duration: 2:56.

Hey everybody, I'm Gardiner, The Linux Gamer.

2017 is already in full swing and it's shaping up to be a stellar year, and so I thought

that I should talk about some of the games that have me most excited!

So here they are: Six Linux Games to Get Hyped For in 2017!

Tacoma I featured Tacoma in my "Most Anticipated"

list last year, and for good reason; Tacoma is the follow up title from Gone Home developer

Fullbright.

If that's not enough rationale for you, then you either haven't played Gone Home

or you're some kind of automaton.

Though it was delayed into this year, I'm still very excited for this title.

Yooka-Laylee Yooka-Laylee, another game that was delayed

into 2017.

Though the game's launch was pushed back, the title is shaping up to be a true successor

to the classic Rare collectathons of yesteryear and my anticipation couldn't be greater!

Games like Banjo-Kazooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day are etched into my memories, and if

Yooka-Laylee lives up to my expectation, it'll be 1999 all over again!

OwlBoy Seriously.

OWLBOY.

The game is a loveletter to the Super Nintendo era, featuring beautifully detailed pixel

art and loveingly crafted animations.

And my goodness, that soundtrack!

But the gameplay and story is what I find most intriguing.

GoatPunks A local multiplayer goat game on Linux.

And no.

I'm not talking about Goat Simulator.

This is different.

And it looks incredible.

GoatPunks is something akin to a vertical kart racer with goats of all things.

Grab some friends, a few controllers, and become king of the mountain.

Now where'd I leave Travis, anyway?

Homefront: The Revolution I might catch some flack for featuring this

game on my list.

The game's launch on other platforms was… rocky to say the least.

Jim Sterling skewered the game a little while ago.

But I feel like the setting of this game might actually be a fun one to explore, and hopefully

in the interim between releases they'll fix the bugs and weirdness we've seen on

other platforms.

Civilization VI This is probably not news to you.

Aspyr confirmed this game's release just a few short days ago and I could not be *MORE*

excited.

I love Civ games.

I love them.

Finally being able to play Civilization VI with my friends is going to be such a relief.

I've heard many good things about this title and I cannot wait.

And, I mean, it doesn't sound like we'll be waiting very long at all.

What do you think?

Did I miss a game?

What titles are YOU excited for in 2017?

All Hail Pope Riley - Duration: 12:58.

so i just got done making a response

video to Riley yesterday then i find

this load of bullshit i know there are

people who don't think being transgender

is a thing and this video is not for

them this video is for the people who

say yes trans women are women but they

are still biologically male let me guess

you have a problem with this

well alright perhaps you know something

that I don't

maybe just maybe rally know something

that I don't

so let's see what he has to say maybe

I'll learn something I learned how

fucking crazy Riley is because while

their intentions might be good

the impact that these words have is

actually very harmful I really don't see

how the intentions behind the statement

is anything other than an observation

with no malice or benevolence intended

trans women are not mail in saying that

they are allow some people to justify

the mistreatment of trans people i don't

think that you read this out before you

recorded this video what you're implying

with the statement is that men are more

likely to be mistreated than women now

if you have also said that trans men are

not female you would have a boy is this

mistake

are you also saying that trans men are

female I realized that this is

speculation but Riley doesn't talk about

transmitted at all in this video funny

that is transverse andrey cool now too

so i'm going to assume that you already

really believe that trans women are

women

yeah i agree with the statement but not

to the same absolute degree that you

want me to believe it i consider a trans

woman to be someone who was born a male

and has decided to undergo the process

to transition from a male to a female

but we cannot engage in large-scale

genetic re-engineering or performing

hair transplant from a male body to a

female body to create someone who's

completely female in this case no doubt

technology will get us there some day

but today is not that day rightly if you

don't believe that this video isn't

meant to convince you good thing because

you couldn't convince you that rain is

wet

maybe instead of leaving a recombinant

you go do some research into what it

means to be transgender that sounds like

a great idea Riley I think you should do

some research because you don't see my

butt fucking clue

I'll leave some links in the description

some very good resources to get you

started

oh great Riley is now the tranny Pope

all have the new tranny Pope alright so

let's say that you're trying to be a

good Ally

the trans people and you heard that sex

and gender are two different things

sex is biological and gender is a social

construct that's not entirely true

is this real is Riley really going down

this road now science is a social

construct that's not exactly what Riley

is saying but it might as well be

yeah all of science can be thrown out of

the window because feelings

let's commence the book burnings sex and

gender are two different things but

they're both partly social constructs

just in different ways now would be a

great time to fly into a window for a

long time gender has been assigned to

people based on their perceived sex a

doctor looks at the babies genitals and

determines what gender it will be raised

as though the ever so oppressive gender

assignments

it's not a gender assignment you idiot

it's a gender observation

do you realize that they can actually

tell what gender of baby is going to be

before it's even born my god it looks

like there are differences between males

and females in our culture that used to

be unquestionable fact they're like

unquestionable observation

it's like saying this car is red there

is no questioning here there is nothing

to question what you want to argue with

me and say this car is painted in poppy

flowers do you hear yourself college you

brainwashed you were raised as the

gender you are assigned at birth and

being transgender wasn't an option

probably because the technology to

change gender didn't exist until very

recently dumbass it doesn't mean that

trans people didn't exist we've existed

as long as humans have existed they have

always existed in me but being

transgender was not a mainstream topic

of discussion today many of us recognize

that gender is far more complicated than

a person's perceived sex and were able

to acknowledge that people can be

transgender gender was a social

construct before and still is now

citation fries but how we construct it

has changed now we can say that your

gender is based on how you identify

because we realize that basic gender on

proceed sex was oppressive exactly how

was it oppressive Riley just feeling out

bullshit doesn't make it true

again I'm not really talking about

society at large because a lot of people

still don't fully understand what it

means to be transgender but I mean

within trans accepting communities

however even within these communities

binary sex has for some reason chuckles

as the same kind of unquestionable fact

that we used to think gender was you

don't say and what you think that is

Riley couldn't be the only point zero

three percent of the population is trans

no that's crazy talk

I've made a video before about intersex

conditions and how sex isn't a perfect

binary but for now let's just talk about

what it means to be male or female

because i would argue that sex me to go

through the same change the gender has

already gone through

yes social justice needs to infect

science even more to make it more

inclusive where's the window when you

needed

it's not a static fact it's a social

constructs i'm still waiting for that

citation Riley you can't say something

as the social contract without providing

evidence

I'm sure that some people are having

this major cree action that sex is based

on biology and you can't change a

person's biology but that's exactly what

we used to say about Jen but what you're

talking about is unnatural Riley yeah

a man can become a woman and vice versa

but you can't do it naturally you idiot

some animals can yes but not human there

was a way of categorizing humans based

on a combination of a few traits

chromosomes genitals gonads hormones and

secondary sex characteristics like

facial hair or breast development most

people never have their chromosomes

tested they're not tested at birth and

they're not tested a regular checkup

unless your doctor suspect that

something might be wrong with your

chromosomes that you'll probably never

have been tested in your life and you

certainly can't tell a person's

chromosomes by looking at the hormones

are also not visible without a test and

genitals and gonads are usually not

visible most of the time so the way that

most people have determining someone sex

it's simply their secondary sex

characteristics that developed computer

before puberty children with penises and

children with vaginas are really not

that different you you can't even say

girls and boys is that what you call

prepubescent children

Riley you call them children with

penises and children listen ginaz you're

probably going to be questioned by the

police about this someday

just give me a heads up there I do care

about you you provide me with endless

entertainment

it's the rush of hormones around puberty

that begins to develop the secondary sex

characteristics people with penises and

to develop facial hair gain muscle mass

and get a deeper voice people with

vaginas tend to develop breasts get

wider hips and

more subcutaneous fat but these are not

perfect differentiators affect some

people with penises don't develop much

any facial hair while some develop beard

and the amount of facial hair that they

have doesn't make them more or less male

the same goes for people with vaginas

some of them will develop large breasts

some of them will develop small breasts

but neither of those is more or less

female

you might want to stop calling men

people with penises and women people

with vaginas if you're this focused on

what people have between their legs it's

no wonder you're such a freak show

there's a lot of overlap between these

characteristics some people with vaginas

will have deeper voices than some people

with penises and some people with

penises will be shorter than some people

with vaginas it's not like all people

with penises fit into one box at all

people with vaginas fit into another box

it's like they're all in the same box

but people with penises tend to hang out

one size and people with vaginas tend to

hang out on the up it's almost as you're

describing how people socialize in high

school and how they fucking high school

plus all of these secondary sex

characteristics can be changed either

through hormones or serger true they can

but you're taking something and changing

it from how it was meant to naturally

develop when people find female I

birthday testosterone they can get

deeper voices and grow more facial hair

while people assigned male at birth can

take estrogen and develop breasts and

more subcutaneous fat and the puberty

blockers are taken before hormones a

person to find female ever might never

experienced a female needle puberty or

vice versa for people assigned male at

birth so the sexy were assigned at Birth

doesn't necessarily tell you what

secondary sex characteristics you'll

have later in life that means that

telling someone you know their sex based

on their secondary sex characteristics

is just not true

do you understand the words that just

came out of your mouth do you speak

English

I'm serious this is a serious question

is english language that you speak on a

day-to-day basis

I know you speak French as well and

you're definitely not speaking she act

which is a bachelor ization of the two

at least in my neck of the woods

you're clearly not understanding what

you're also saying here Riley you're

saying that without picking hormones

girls and boys grow up to be women and

then but you still think you can tell

someone sex based on their genitals or

going as well genitals can be changed

with surgery some people assigned male

at birth have vaginas

through surgery called vaginoplasty some

people find female at Birth have penises

thanks to surgery called follow plastic

to follow that makes you want to close

my legs and stop man spreading in my

house alone I guess even in the privacy

of my own home

I still can't stop oppressing women so

genitals aren't a great indicator and

gonads so ovaries or testes are often

removed in the case of testicular or

ovarian cancer but if a woman has their

ovaries removed due to cancer if you no

longer female if a man has the st

germain due to cancer is he no longer

mail i don't think so i would have been

more firm said no they don't stop being

male or female but congrats Riley you

finally said something that doesn't make

you sound like a fucking idiot and I

don't think you can say that gonads to

find a person sex without believing that

back to sound like a fucking idiot so

out of the five ways we have of

determining someone sex four of those

five hormones secondary sex

characteristics genitals and Gomez

cannot be accurately used to determine

someone sex is there any shred of sanity

left in your head

Riley I mean I'm definitely seeing his

personal planets but you if you are an

alien that seems human form I think that

would make more sense for example if

someone was assigned male at birth but

took puberty blockers and hormones and

had a vaginoplasty they have female

hormones secondary sex characteristics

and gentle so three of the five ways of

determining sex would be female wouldn't

have male or female don't ads at that

point and let's assume their chromosomes

are XY that means that three-fifths of

the sexes criteria point2 female and

only 150 points to mail and if you

believe that sex is an unchanging

biological fact that could be possible

but it is here's where people say well

you can't change your chromosome and

yeah that's correct but if you want to

argue that sex is entirely determined by

chromosomes then you're arguing against

the definition of what we call

biological sex because sex has never

been only about chromosomes it's been

about all five of these traits and tell

me what good is dividing people based on

their chromosomes do it comes don't

determine your hormones secondary sex

characteristics genitals or gonads what

purpose do they serve in differentiating

people it helps you the fun and made

that you find desirable inmate that you

can have children with and pass on your

genes which is a biological urge we all

have and is critical to the survival of

our species

you do realize that we evolved on this

planet Riley but if I didn't know any

better I would say your feminist

creationist yes there is

they served no purpose there's no reason

to divide XX people & XY people that is

an arbitrary distinction that has no

effect on how the person looks or

behaves or navigate the world you can't

know someone's chromosomes by looking at

them and even if you could it wouldn't

give you any useful information about

the person that's the point I'm trying

to make sex is not a biological fact

because it is determined by things that

are largely changeable and the only part

of it that is unchangeable doesn't have

any real-world effects so it is just as

much a social construct as gender is

ensure your feminist congregation is

loving this sermon but i'm not saying

that for a trans person to be trans they

have to have all the surgeries and take

all the hormones the trans person is

trans if they claim that identity

because this person doesn't become

transformed i have their ovaries removed

due to cancer and a trans person is

assist just because they can't afford

hormones having a vagina doesn't make

you a female regardless of whether you

were born with it or got it through

surgery wondering about your identity

and therefore so expect the fact that

sex is so fluid means that thinking of

sex as a binary unmoving fact of life is

just wrong

listen and believe listen and believe so

if you like transwoman your female if

you're trans man your mail and if you're

either a man nor woman then you're

neither male nor female biological sex

have to undergo the same paradigm shift

is a gender did continue with that bird

because science hurts our feelings we

need to start thinking about it as a

social construct rather than in arguable

fact because when people say that a

trans woman is biologically male they

use that as a way to attack trans people

use it as an excuse to exclude us from

bathrooms and locker rooms and other

women spaces

something tells me that Riley is making

this video because the women's only gym

he tried to sign up for through his ass

to the curb as they should

you know it's okay you're just a lesbian

with up unit so it's fine if i get a

boner by looking at other women in the

gym it's just a more subtle and more

socially acceptable way of

discriminating against trans people you

might mean well by saying that sex and

gender are two different things but I

think it's important to emphasize that

both our social constructs based on your

identity

well I wasted a good chunk of my day

making this video now I want to drink

bleach

Horrifying Sleep Paralysis Experience - Duration: 9:25.

I have always been fascinated with the paranormal, and creepy things in general.

I enjoy watching all those shows on TV about hauntings, and am a huge fan of the hit TV

show Supernatural.

I have experienced sleep paralysis only three times in my life, however this experience

is by far the scariest of all my experiences.

Let me start with some background, as it is important to the story.

I am a 17 year old female, living in the southeastern United States.

I have two younger sisters, Grace, age 14, and Cece age 11.

I also have a dog named Molly.

My house is small, but it supports us.

My sister's bedrooms along with my parent's rooms are on the upper level, while my room

is on the lower level.

Let me further explain the floor plan of the lower level, as it too is important to the

story.

If you walk out from my room, you are in a small hallway containing doors to the bathroom,

laundry room, garage, and two separate closets on either side.

The hallway opens up to the family room and kitchen.

The kitchen is adjacent to the family room, and the two rooms are openly attached to each

other.

I am a very heavy sleeper, but I have a lot of trouble falling asleep.

I sleep with a small radio that plays music, and I sleep with my door open and the bathroom

light on.

This light sometimes creates shadows on the wall.

This was my first experience with sleep paralysis.

I am in a program called the International Baccalaureate Program at my school.

The workload from this program causes me to stay awake for long periods of time doing

homework and other important things for school.

One night, I had stayed up till about 2 am doing homework.

I was very tired by the time I finished my work, and was ready to sleep.

I turned off my light and walked over to my bed, jumping on and pulling the covers over

my body, I should also probably mention that at the time I had been having extremely vivid

nightmares and had witnessed horrifying things while asleep.

As I was falling asleep, I heard my phone buzz, signifying that I had gotten a text.

I checked my phone and saw a text message from a friend of mine, Joe.

I have known Joe for 5 years.

He is ex-military, and had been kicked out due to emotional trauma from some of the horrific

things he witnessed while deployed in Iraq.

As a result, Joe is very overprotective of me.

The text said "Be careful, I know those dreams have been bothering you.

Love you."

This was very alarming, as I hadn't told him anything about the dreams I had been having.

I texted him back asking him what the hell he was talking about and how he had known

about my dreams.

Within minutes, I got a response: "You know exactly what I'm talking about, Hannah."

It is not like Joe to use my name like that, so this made me more uncomfortable than I

already was.

My head searched for an explanation.

I decided that overly tired mind was just playing tricks on me and I went to bed.

I slept for about two hours and woke up around 3 am.

I don't know what woke me up, but when I did wake up, I had a looming feeling of dread.

I sat there for a while, not moving, just staring at the ceiling, thinking.

Then something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye.

The kitchen light had flicked on.

This is unusual, as I am the only night owl in my family, and no one ever woke up at this

hour.

I attempted to turn over to get a better look, but, as you probably guessed, I couldn't

move.

I could only move my eyes and I was freaking out at this point.

I knew that I was experiencing sleep paralysis, and was dreading the next moments.

If you don't already know, sleep paralysis is often accompanied by terrifying hallucinations.

I knew this very well, and was dreading their arrival.

I looked to the end of my bed, expecting something creepy to be there, but there was nothing.

I was relieved, but still terrified, as I still couldn't move.

I looked all around my room, but saw nothing.

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw it.

I say "it", as I have no idea what it was.

Standing in the hallway, there was a black mass, somewhat resembling the shape of a man.

The face had no features except two large white eyes, and the body seemed to fuse with

the walls and floors around it.

I tried to scream, but nothing came out.

I sat there staring at it, terrified.

It slowly moved closer to me, never breaking eye contact.

It seemed to almost float as it moved closer and closer until it was right on top of me.

It leaned over and whispered something in my ear that I will never forget.

"You should tell your sisters to be more careful, Hannah."

My eyes widened and I yelled back, "Get the hell away from my sisters!"

It stood there staring.

Then out of nowhere, laughter erupted from all sides.

This was no ordinary laugh.

No.

This laugh… this laugh was pure evil.

At this point I was scared shitless.

Why my sisters?

Where are they?

Are the okay?

Are they..dead?

Am I going to die?

Questions like this passed my mind as I lay there with this… thing.. staring at me,

laughter blasting in my ears.

Then, as fast as it started, everything stopped.

I could move.

I got up and ran into the kitchen, where the light had flickered before.

However, before I could get into the kitchen, I tripped over one of the tables, and hit

my head on the corner.

I fell onto the floor, my head bleeding from a small cut on my forehead.

I got up and ran into the kitchen, ignoring the throbbing pain coming from my head.

What I saw, I will NEVER forget.

My sisters were both sitting on the floor in the corner of the kitchen.

They were huddled together, holding each other, shaking.

There was blood all over the kitchen floor where they sat.

I knelt down, and asked "Grace?

Cece?

What are you doing down here?

What's wrong?"

The second I spoke, they both turned to look at me.

The look in their eyes….

It was pure, unconditional fear.

Their faces were covered in blood.

Neither of them responded to my question, but Cece lifted her finger, pointing to something

behind me.

Terrified, I turned around, and there was the black mass I had seen before.

He started laughing again and I screamed.

Then…

I woke up.

I sat up in my bed, tears dripping down my face, my body covered in a cold sweat.

I looked to the clock and it was about 5 am.

I did not go back to sleep, and just sat in my bed.

After what seemed like hours, morning finally came, and I walked into the bathroom and looked

into the mirror.

And to my horror, I saw a small gash on my head, where I had hit the table in my dream.

Blood had dripped down my face, and had crusted on my forehead.

I cleaned the wound and tried my best to hide it from my parents and sisters.

I never told anyone about this, and the scar has fully healed.

However, I looked at my messages with Joe, wanting to confirm that I had texted him that

night.

None of the text messages were there.

I have no explanation for the events of that night, and nothing paranormal has ever happened

in my house before this experience.

I had two other instances of sleep paralysis after this, but neither of them were this

vivid or terrifying.

If anyone has any idea about what happened to me, please feel free to let me know.

True CREEPY Stories | Daycare Center Dad/ While in Mexico Visiting - Duration: 9:44.

This happened to me a few years ago.

I need to give a few background details before i begin.

My mother is from Ethiopia and my father is a Mississippi native.

I'm a few shades darker than most Caucasians but sometimes people mistake me for white.

At the time I was living in the southernmost part of one of the reddest states in the USA,

and just got a job as a toddler teacher at a daycare by my house.

I loved my job.

The children were so well behaved and had the cutest little faces you could imagine.

I have always been a sucker for the terrible ones that no teacher likes to deal with.

Those are the ones wit the most interesting personalities.

I worked in the 1's and 2's room.

I also taught after school so I had my own separate class for the afternoons.

There was one little boy in particular named Daniel who always making trouble.

He would fight with the other babies unprovoked, he would pee on you on purpose while you changed

him, and could start stripping at any random moment.

Needless to say Daniel was a handful.

As i said before i have a way with children that act out like this and before long Daniel

was my little buddy.

When a teacher couldn't handle him he was sent to me where he would do just fine.

One day when his father came to pick him up he was with me in my class.

I had seen his father pick him up plenty of times so i knew it was him, we had never spoken

before.

He was hot he reminded me of Wentworth Miller a little.

I was actually kind of attracted to him so it caught me off guard when he said something

along the lines of " Danny!

What the hell are you doing in this N***** B****** class!"

This completely caught me off guard because although I'm in the deep south were racism

is EVERYWHERE, I had never experienced it at my job.

All of the parents were glad to see me and i had a good rapport with all of them.

I didn't respond to his rude comment however, I just got Daniel ready and I was hoping he

didn't do our secret handshake which involved a series of hand claps and ends in us pressing

our foreheads together and chanting "I'm the best!".

Unfortunately Daniel wouldn't leave until we did the ENTIRE handshake.

I looked up expecting his father to be highly upset but he was just standing there staring

at me with the widest eyed toothiest grin that sent chills down my spine.

Even Daniel looked up like "Whoa" and looked back at me.

I stood up to say bye and hopefully get him out of my class faster but he stepped closer

to me and put his hand on my shoulder and said " I like the way you handle my son".

The way he said the word "handle" made the whole statement sound very perverted.

I remained professional and said " thank you he is a joy to have around"

The very next day Daniel didnt come to school.

This wasnt out of the ordinary either because sometimes he went to the daycare by his mother's

house which is further away.

When i got to my desk i noticed a red rose that had been spray painted black and had

a piece of yarn around it like a noose.

Another time I found a small wooden cross on the hood of my car with a lighter next

to it.

Things like this happened for a few weeks.

One day as the day came to a close, all of the other employees had left for the day and

i had to close.

We had a huge ball pit in the back of the center that covered 50% of the entire classroom.

I was wiping down the blocks when i heard the very familiar sound of someone jumping

in the ball pit.

I got up to investigate thinking that it was DJ McSqueak (our pet guinea pig who was notorious

for escaping and jumping in the ball pit).

I looked in the cage and sure enough DJ was not in his cage.

I climbed in the pit and tried looking for him when I noticed a pair of legs in the ball

pit.

I NOPED tf out of the room and screamed as i heard the roar of plastic balls behind me

indicating that whoever it was was now chasing me...

I ran into the next classroom and locked the door.

I could see the man's face pressed up against the window and I recognized Daniels dad.

He was screaming at me to open the door.

I started frantically looking for a phone but i couldnt find one.

The main phone was in the office and the handset that belonged in this classroom was missing...

I found the missing handset but it was dead.

I figured that this guy doesnt know that it's dead and i pretended to call the police.

It worked, he had the angriest look on his face and stormed out of the center and after

i heard the door click i sprinted to my classroom locked the door and called the police for

real.

They showed up 10 minutes later and I told them what happened.

He was later arrested and charged but he was out of jail after a month.

Daniel...

I think you are the sweetest little boy I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

I hope one day you find this story and recognize im talking about you and you remember the

bond we shared.

As for your father...

I would prefer not to meet him again.

In December of 2014 my parents decided to send me to Mexico for two weeks to visit family

that I hadn't seen in quite a while.

The only reason I really wanted to go to Mexico was to see my favorite uncle, Juan.

He lived with my parents and I for 8 years in the u.s.

He came here to make a better life for himself, like most immigrants, but a couple years later

he got into some money issues and started selling drugs.

A couple months later he got arrested for drug possession, and was deported back to

Mexico.

When he got back, my grandma called my mom saying that he was still selling drugs.

I got on the plane to Mexico and greeted my family upon arrival.

Later that day, my family was getting ready for a party.

When my we got there I saw my uncle Juan, ran up to him, and gave him the biggest hug

I've ever given.

Later into the evening, my uncle had a little too much to drink and I know how he is when

he gets drunk.

He was talking to some guy I had never seen and I asked my cousin if he knew who the guy

was.

My cousin said he is one of the leaders of a Mexican drug cartel.

I went up to Juan and stood by him while he was still talking to the guy.

When I turned my head to see what my cousin was doing, I started to hear screaming and

a beer bottle breaking, and see my uncle pushing the guy.

I ran up to Juan's aid.

I'm 5' 11 and 260lbs and I took wrestling in high school so I know how to break up a

fight.

Not to mention I was bigger than most of the people there.

After the party Juan and I walked home, and when we got there we went right to sleep.

The next morning Juan and I went to get something to eat and as we were walking I noticed a

black Honda Civic following us.

When we got to the restaurant i saw the guy from the party get out of his car and start

approaching the restaurant.

Juan and I decided to go somewhere else to kill some time before going to my uncle's

bar.

While Juan and I were walking, I saw the the same black Honda Civic following us again

and I told my uncle.

He had noticed it too so we took a couple of turns to see if he was still following

us.

When I looked back to see if he was, I saw in the car and he had another person with

him.

My uncle told me not to make a scene over it.

When we got to my uncle's bar, he told me to help him unload beer from the back room.

I went into the back room and a couple minutes later I hear my uncle say "what the fuck are

you guys doing here?", followed by 3 gunshots.

I ran out as fast as I could, but when I got there I was in shock.

I saw my uncle lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

I called the police and the ambulance immediately.

I then called my grandma and told her what happened.

She began to cry, and hearing an old woman cry is one of the saddest things you'll ever

hear.

Hearing her cry like that made me ball my eyes out.

My family came rushing to the hospital and about 3 or 4 hours later the doctor told us

that my uncle didn't make it, but that they tried to save his life.

A couple weeks after the incident I was back in the u.s. and my mom got a call from my

cousin who asked to speak with me.

He told me that the guy my uncle was pushing at the party and his friend killed my uncle

and they are serving life sentences.

'A Dog's Purpose' premiere canceled after graphic video of dog being forced to swim - Duration: 3:07.

Amid a PETA protest over the treatment of a dog on set, Universal Studios has canceled Saturday's premiere of "A Dog's Purpose."

A troubling video, showing a trainer forcing a German Shepherd into a pool with artificial rapids, was met with outrage.

"Because Amblin's review into the edited video released yesterday is still ongoing, distributor Universal Pictures has decided it is in the best interest of 'A Dog's Purpose' to cancel this weekend's premiere and press junket. Amblin and Universal do not want anything to overshadow this film that celebrates the relationship between humans and animals," the producer and distributor said in a statement.

"Since the emergence of the footage, Amblin has engaged with many associated with the production of the film, including safety personnel, trainers and stunt coordinators as part of their in-depth review. While we are all disheartened by the appearance of an animal in distress, everyone has assured us that Hercules the German Shepherd was not harmed throughout the filmmaking."

The movie, starring Britt Robertson and Dennis Quaid, follows a dog through his life and then through several reincarnations.

PETA called for a protest of the movie soon after the graphic video surfaced.

The American Humane Association said their representative on set during production was placed on "administrative leave."

Several members of the cast responded to the backlash.

"A few months ago, I was approached to lend my voice to the film 'A Dog's Purpose.' As I sat in a dark screening room, I was beyond touched and moved by what I saw ... a movie that captures the beauty and pain of loving a pet. I signed on for a film that truly stands out as one of the most beautiful love letters to animals I have ever seen," "A Dog's Purpose" star Josh Gad said in a statement.

"Today, however, I saw a disturbing video that appears to show a scared German Shepherd being forced to perform a stunt on the set of this film. While I do not know all the details and cannot speak to the level of care and caution that went into this moment (as I was never on set for the making of this film), I am shaken and sad to see any animal put in a situation against its will."

Co-star KJ Apa released a similar statement Thursday.

"First things first, I LOVE ALL ANIMALS and would never EVER condone inhumane treatment or abuse of an animal at any time. I was saddened to see the footage from the set of 'A Dog's Purpose' — a film I was honored to act in, in 2015. The video was hard to watch, and I understand why many of you have had the reactions that you did because I had the same ones," he wrote on Twitter.

"The footage is still being investigated, from my own experience, I only encountered cast and crewmembers who had unconditional love and respect for every single dog on set, and went to great lengths to assure their safety and wellbeing. I want you guys to know that I would NEVER attach myself to a project that didn't treat animals with the utmost care, and honestly, the possibility that an animal could've been hurt is troubling to me. I have been assured that Hercules is happy and healthy."

"A Dog's Purpose" is scheduled to premiere in theaters Jan. 27.

SEE IT: Stephen Colbert returns to 'Colbert Report' persona to bid farewell to President Obama on... - Duration: 1:59.

Only one brash narcissist could say goodbye to President Obama.

"Anyone who thinks they can sum up the last eight years in a few minutes would have to be a delusional egomaniac," Stephen Colbert said as he opened "The Late Show" Thursday night.

So he brought back his old persona from the "Colbert Report."

After explaining that roommate Jon Stewart is in the woods "teaching a moose to read," Political Pundit Colbert took over the stage — complete with a sword and Captain America shield.

"Well, well, well, at long last our America-hating, secret Muslim, lead-from-behind, terrorist fist-bumping, hopey-changey apologist-in-chief is leaving office," he said.

(Scott Kowalchyk/CBS)

"I've just got one thing to say to him, and it's tonight's Werd: Thanks, Obama."

Political Pundit Colbert began his night by acknowledging Obama's good choices: expanding the killer drone program, spying on American citizens through the NSA, letting Wall Street banks get even bigger and never closing Guantanamo.

"It felt like he was strangling a bald eagle with an American flag while taking a dump on an apple pie," he said.

Colbert also thanked the President for pointing Republicans throughout his entire presidency— in the opposite direction.

"Well, well, well, at long last our America-hating, secret Muslim, lead-from-behind, terrorist fist-bumping, hopey-changey apologist in in chief is leaving office," the political pundit said on "The Late Show."

(The Late Show via Twitter)

"Now, the Obama era is coming to an end, and on behalf of everyone who opposed you, sir, i just want to say... please don't go," he said.

Colbert also joked about the Republicans' insistence on repealing Obamacare without any replacement before quoting Sheryl Crow: "You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone."

"You were a worthy adversary. A leader of vision, patience, dignity, passion and humanity. I really felt good fighting for the opposite of all those things," he said.

"And with our next president, I think we won."

Trump could reinstitute anti-abortion 'Mexico City policy' on anniversary of Roe v. Wade - Duration: 1:44.

Donald Trump is expected to reinstitute the Republican policy against foreign aid to groups that provide abortions.

A congressional staffer told Foreign Policy that the move to restore the rule, known as the "global gage rule" or the "Mexico City policy," could be made Sunday, the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

The policy, first announced by President Reagan in 1984, prohibits federal funds from going to organizations that provide or promote abortion.

The 1977 Hyde Amendment also prevents federal funds from directly funding abortions, though the global gag rule extends the prohibition to non-abortion activities at the affected organizations.

Donald Trump's road to the White House since Election Day

More than $600 million in U.S. funding for family planning for 2016 would have likely reached 27 million women worldwide, according to the pro-abortion rights Guttmacher Institute.

The policy was rescinded by President Clinton shortly after his inauguration in 1993, reinstated by President Bush in 2001 and rescinded again by President Obama in 2009.

The reinstatement from Trump would not come as a surprise, though critics such as Amnesty International say that cuts to affected programs would "send a dangerous message to the world that the reproductive rights of women and girls, and refugees' rights are not a priority."

It is not yet known what form the rule will take under a Trump administration.

(Evan Vucci/AP)

Amnesty cited the United Nations Population Fund and the UN Refugee Agency as two organizations likely to lose a large portion of their funding.

It is not clear exactly what shape the policy would take under the Trump administration.

A memo from the Bush administration State Department said that their reinstatement of the rule did not apply to organizations funded in the fight against HIV/AIDS under a 2003 law.

With sides $2 million apart, Yankees will go to arbitration with Dellin Betances - Duration: 2:23.

The Yankees and Dellin Betances are headed to an arbitration hearing.

GM Brian Cashman said Thursday morning that the two sides, who are $2 million apart, will not reach a resolution, meaning an arbitrator will decide the flame-throwing right-hander's salary for the 2017 season.

The Yankees filed at $3 million, while Betances filed at $5 million. It will be the team's first arbitration hearing with a player since 2008, when they beat Chien-Ming Wang. Betances made the league minimum ($507,000) last season, so he's going to get a significant raise, relative to that figure.

It's just a matter of how much.

"The conversations we had with his representatives were, 'If we file, we trial,'" Cashman said at Yankee Stadium. "Based on all our discussions, it was clear that there were different perspectives and such a wide bridge, so we'll go and basically have a polite discussion about market value and history of where the marketplace sits versus attempts for new market creation."

Betances, who is in his first year of arbitration eligibility, has posted a 1.93 ERA in 217 appearances over the past three seasons, making the All-Star team each year. During that span, the setup man, who will be entering his age-29 season, struck out an MLB-best 392 batters in 247 innings.

In 2016, he recorded 12 saves and a 3.08 ERA in 73 innings. Betances did allow 13 runs (10 earned) in 8.1 innings in September. He was also shaky as the closer once Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman, who has since returned, were traded.

But that may have been at least partly a product of him being overtaxed.

MLB's biggest contracts

Arbitration hearings, which are set by MLB and take place in February, have had a history of being contentious between player and club. They are based on salaries of comparable players based on service time. It is also important for both sides to win in order to establish a baseline for future hearings, should they be required.

Asked if Betances wanted "closer money," Cashman responded, "You'd have to ask them. I just know that they filed what they felt was appropriate and we filed what we felt was appropriate. And someone else will make the determination of what he makes, but either way we have a good pitcher."

As one method of local comparison, Mets closer Jeurys Familia received $4.1 million in 2016 as a first-year arbitration-eligible player following a 2015 season in which he posted 43 saves and a 1.85 ERA. That was a settlement between player and club before a hearing.

Cashman said the sides had "limited discussions" about a multi-year deal. "That's always something that could happen down the line, but that's not going to happen, in this case, right now," he said.

Vin Diesel's 'XXX: The Return of Xander Cage' not nearly fast or furious enough: movie review - Duration: 2:22.

Super-secret agents, satellites falling out of the sky, Vin Diesel in a big fur coat — seriously, what is "XXX: The Return of Xander Cage" even about?

Let Samuel L. Jackson explain.

"Kick some ass, get the girl, and look dope while doing it," he sums up.

And that pretty much covers it.

The franchise started 15 years ago, as a weird wedding of X-treme sports and anti-hero heroics. When Diesel was too fast and furious to come back for the sequel, spymaster Jackson brought on Ice Cube instead.

That movie blew up even more stuff, but didn't set the box-office on fire. So now Diesel finally returns, to do the dirty work the U.S. can't give to anyone else.

This time, it seems, there's a new gizmo that can weaponize satellites, turning them into flaming targeted missiles. And it's just been stolen by a gang of lethal killers.

So it's time for Diesel's Xander Cage to put together his own gang of lethal killers. And for us to sit back and watch while everybody punches everybody else, in slow motion.

That could be fun but director D.J. Caruso — whose last big film was the crash-and-burn YA sci-fi, "I Am Number Four" — shoots the fight scenes like he's caught in a blender. It's a blur of fists and feet and faces.

The faces aren't that familiar, either. Carefully calculating foreign returns (much of the movie's money came from China), the film casts mostly Asian celebrities.

Too bad K-Pop sensation Kris Wu and Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone don't add anything but marketing, and terrific Thai action star Tony Jaa gets a bad blonde dye job and nothing to do.

Vin Diesel takes a spin in "XXX"

(Photo credit: George Kraychyk/George Kraychyk)

Better is Donnie Yen, who — thanks to some classic fight choreography — at least brings a little bit of old-fashioned, Hong Kong style.

But Diesel is the star (as well as a producer), in every scene. And he drags the film down with him. He's like an old 45 played at 33, big and deep and s-l-o-o-o-w, no matter how much the editing tries to speed things up.

He stalks around, rumbling and mumbling and showing off his Michelin Man muscles. He plays hot-potato with live hand grenades. He gets hit by cars. He jumps out of airplanes.

He does kind of look dope doing it.

But we're the real dopes for watching.

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson stopped by ESPN's "First Take" Thursday morning where he talked about his future plans.

He said he has "five strong years" left and hinted at other teams he'd like to play for if Minnesota decides to cut him loose — one of which is the Giants.

"I definitely have five strong more years. Without a doubt."

"There's a couple teams out there that I've thought about. New York was one of them that popped up, Tampa Bay, lot of different teams. Houston would be a good spot," Peterson said.

"I'll stop right there.

I'm just throwing random names out there."

Bottom line is he wants a ring.

"My main goal that I want to accomplish is to go somewhere I can win a championship," Peterson said.

In 10 seasons, Peterson, 31, has rushed for 11,747 yards with 102 total touchdowns. He also has 1,945 receiving yards.

The running back has had to battle significant injuries throughout his career and played in just three games last season due to knee and groin injuries rushing for 72 paltry yards and no touchdowns.

Peterson also comes with some personal baggage. He's been dealing with lingering controversy since the 2014 season when he was suspended for child abuse allegations, and after the Josh Brown situation last year, it would be hard to see the Giants bringing in a player with a checkered past.

The Giants running game could use some help, however.

Rookie running back Paul Perkins did get better throughout the season taking over for Rashad Jennings, and it couldn't hurt to pair him with a seasoned running back to help his growth.

Peterson's salary is a non-guaranteed $18 million next year. He'll either restructure to stay in Minnesota or both sides will go their separate ways.
