This time North London has turned into a mad town. It was a peaceful protest at the Broadwater Farm area before a number of teenage rioters set fire to 2 police cars near the police station. As it started, people started to break through windows and steal goods from shops. Most of the rioters are teenagers as eyewitness saw them setting fire to double decker bus and at least one shop. This incident was triggered when around 120 people marched from the Broadwater Farm area to Tottenham police station at about 5pm local time to demand "justice" over the fatal shooting of a young father by police. Crikey.
A man used AIDS to threaten Syndey families to demand money [Courier Mail]
Cris Anonuevo, 43, targeted about 14 families for over 12 months through threat letters. He knew some of the families through his son. His first attempt was in July back in 2010 when he posted a letter to his family friends and threaten that if the family refused to pay, he will jab one of their children carrying AIDS or hepatitis, as well as threatened to rape one of their young daughters. As he continues, he posted more threat mails and he successfully received money from one of the families, while 3 others were either intercepted by police or not collected. His guy has a heartless prick, indeed. Threatening people as he allegedly got over $150,000 of debt to repay was not a good mean at all.
In other news, Volkswagen revealed its Temporary Auto Pilot system lately, and they've won a contest in 2006 organised by the US Department of Defence with a Touareg soft-roader nicknamed Junior that drove itself over more than 200 kilometres of off-road terrain. With this new system implemented onto future Volkswagen cars, drivers can use it during traffic jams and speed-limited scenarios. But this system is capable of taking over tasks such as speed and steering of the vehicle up to 130km/h. On the other hand, car manufacturers like BMW and Google, has also developed autopilot technologies to be used on cars one day. At the moment we are still not sure when exactly consumers will be able to buy one. But the technologies are quite promising and looks like we are very, very close to it.
