Walter Williams, the Mississippi man who returned to life after being pronounced dead about two weeks ago, died Thursday.

That's crazy. It was good for the family though.

I feel as if maybe the person who pronounced him dead maybe didn't go through all the steps correctly because although I do believe in miracles, I don't know if something like that can really happen. He would have had to be only dead for a very short amount of time. But that's great for the family that got to spend 2 more weeks with him.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa - Two dead bodies were found Wednesday morning in a Council Bluffs home. WOWT reports that authorities were called about 10 a.m. about a shooting in the 600 block of Grace Street. At least one person was shot. A man at the scene told the station said he did not hear any gunshots.

1 million dollars is a lot

what I don't understand is that his mother and grandmother were trying to help him get help cause he had a mental disorder and he turned around one night and killed his mother and grandmother.He should have got the help he needed instead of doing what he did.

Former NFL linebacker shot himself in the chest. There are other related incidents, and this may be related to depression causing head injuries. There have been lawsuits before on this issue.

that is sad i feel bad for the family.... if he was going through depression its a very tough time.

Great football player, also a great man.

Wow they have been dead since 2011! I wonder how they died they must have known i think because they died together just as they lived.

That's really weird. They didn't talk with neighbors and were believed to have moved. Wouldn't someone have noticed the smell of decomposing corpses?

That is crazy!! Having family that doesn't contact you, or basically try to have anything to do with you! Same with the neighbors!! If my neighbors haven't come out of their house for even a couple months I'd go over and check on them, even if we don't associate.

I think life in prison would be worse than the death penalty to begin with

@ Dylan, you are not a prison warden, keep the topics on this page relevant to the conversation, and have some potential form of evidence to back up what you say. @ Joe, it is much less expensive to keep someone alive then execute them. The death penalty is much more expensive than life without parole because the Constitution requires a long and complex judicial process for capital cases. This process is needed in order to ensure that innocent men and woman are not executed for crimes they did not commit, and even with these protections the risk of executing an innocent person can not be completely eliminated. Example State: California How much they could save: With life in prison as the maximum punishment for 1st degree murder, they would save over 1 billion dollars a year. Money that could be saved per year for taxpayers: 90,000 dollars a year. Taxpayers save money if they do not use the death penalty. http://www.deathpenalty.org/article.php?id=42 Besides, many murder victims PREFER the idea of Life without Parole. If you do not believe this, check out this site made by the victims families: https://www.aclunc.org/docs/criminal_justice/death_penalty/Voices_from_California_Crime_Victims_for_Alternatives_to_the_Death_Penalty.pdf I have the feeling that nobody will even look at these links, but they are blunt evidence that it is cheaper, and makes more people happy, then when we use the death penalty. Oh.... By the way, 2nd degree murders (who cannot receive the death penalty) can do all that which you stated before Joe. Why should first degree murders be any different?

The death penalty is dumb you should just let that sever his/or hers time in prison.

Families are preparing to receive the bodies of the victims of this week's air tragedy in Colombia as experts develop a clearer picture of how things went so terribly wrong with a charter flight that slammed into a mountainside. Many of the 71 killed were players and coaches from a...

YESTERDAY; One student stabbed to death, two with minor injuries, one whose condition is unknown

Some people these days are crazy. Resort to this crap when they get "mad." Ridiculous.

This goes to show that banning guns or putting more restrictions on them does not stop people from killing one another and seriously injuring people. Weapons are just tools in the hands of killers.

More Police Shoot Dead Armed Man Trying to Enter Paris Police Station How France Has Changed Since the Charlie Hebdo Attack - Officers shot and killed a knife-wielding man wearing a fake explosive vest at a police station in northern Paris on Thursday, French officials said, a year to the day after an attack on the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo launched a bloody year in the French capital.

David Bowie, the icon of "glam rock" who sustained a chart-topping career for over four decades, has died at the age of 69, his family confirmed Monday, Bowie had died peacefully after an 18-month battle against cancer.

David Bowie was an icon, not only to people but to the genre of pop itself. "Bowie died two days after the release of 'Blackstar', his 29th album, which had been timed to coincide with his birthday. The singer had kept a low profile in recent years after reportedly suffering a heart attack in the 2000s, and it had not been widely known that he was struggling with cancer."

This makes me so sad hearing that one of the famous musicians passes away from cancer. He was such a good singer and actor! You would think that doctors would have found a cure for cancer by now because now my great aunt is going though it. RIP David Bowie!!

I read about this, and I found it intriguing.

He ended up waiting until at least one person got close and blew himself up, the officer that was close got thrown back. They have stated that they are not sure if other people were helping him so they will keep looking. I personally think that he didn't want to go to jail for what he had done so he did a suicide bombing.

In the article they say that the bomber pre-setup bombs that explode when people get near them. But the article also said that they thought the bomber was targeting races such as hispanic and african american. I don't understand how the bomber could be targeting a specific race when the bombs were set up ahead of time. The article also mentions that there still might be bombs that he planted before he died, so how can he be targeting a specific race?

They did mention that there could be more bombs but i doubt there is. I think if there are other bombs out there then maybe it was more then a one man job.

"The attack, which hit a school in the town of Mansoura, where civilians had taken shelter on Tuesday night, was the second time in a week that Syrians had accused the United States of involvement in a strike that killed dozens of noncombatants."

Airstrikes don't know an innocent child from a dangerous ISIS member. These weapons are effective, but are quite a dangerous way to clear out areas populated with noncombatants. This story and stories like it are exactly why the US can be easily pinned as the bad guy. If you were a Syrian and your child was killed by US bombs, are you gonna be angry at the ISIS members who hid near you, or the people who murdered your child?

I think it's honestly disappointing that Donald Trump is going against our first amendment right to burn the flag because I just think it's a piece of fabric and there are tons and tons of flags sold almost everywhere in the U.S.

loss of citizenship is extreme but I understand the concept, like if you hate this country enough to disrespect our most meaningful symbol and the many people that fought for the right to fly the flag why not just leave? they should definitely be punished in some way.

Historically I can understand why people don't like flag burning, but it should in no way be criminalized. It may symbolize something but when you break it down its just a piece of cloth you can buy for a dollar.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - In the wake of the Newton, Conn., school shooting that left 20 children and seven adults dead polls show public support for stricter gun control at a 10-year high. However, gun rights advocates say they will push the Iowa Legislature to expand gun rights and abolish gun-free zones, including schools.

Admitting he killed his child should not lesson his sentence, nor get him off the hook for anything. He should serve just as long of a punishment as someone would get for manslaughter.

If your having problems put the baby in a safe place don't leave the house but just go to another room and cool down for a little bit.

I understand but I don't. It was not on purpose, when we are angry our better judgement is clouded. I believe he could be forgiven and all, that's a really short sentence either way. Perhaps the family requested his sentence to be shorter to support the mother. ... I don't know. This

THIS IS NUTS!!!!!

i hope they catch the other person that was part of the bombing because so n=many families lost their love ones and friends because someone had to plant a bomb

class A reason why they should just legalize what is know to be a safe substance. Then maybe kids wouldn't be choking each other for a high... or putting stuff in their body they have no background knowledge on.

I think this is a perfect reason why they shouldn't legalize it. If she wants to smoke then she should just go live in Colorado.

I mean if she wanted to smoke she should of just moved to Colorado!
