Tragedy in the Mediterranean: Learning About Europe’s Immigration Crisis

Freddie Gray may Have Tried to Injure Himself

Freddie Gray, who died April 19th after being arrested on the 12th. His death triggered  rioting in Baltimore. There was another prisoner in the van who couldn't see Freddie but states he may have intentionally tried to injure himself in a police van. With his death it sparked riots in Baltimore as protests turned violent resulting into major property damage throughout the city and around 200 arrests. I believe the police probably gave the other prisoner a deal so they wouldn't get in trouble. The prison or couldn't see him so who knows what really happened.

the movie the interview sent to North Korea through ballons

The movie the Interview is seen as an act of terrorism from North Korea's point of view. Lee Min-bok, North Korean defector, claims he has sent more than 80,000 copies of 'The Interview' on almost a dozen different occasions. The way he is sending is through helium balloons. At 3 a.m., Lee ties the bundles of DVDs, dollar bills and political leaflets to the bottom to the balloon and lets them go at 3 am. A timer is attached which will release the bundle once safely in North Korean territory. Lee has no way of knowing if they will get there safely but he has checked the wind and its direction from south Korea to north.
