A SICKENING video showing a man being tortured and beaten to death has led to one arrest and a frantic search for another man connected with the crime.

COPS SAY NEW YORK PRISON ESCAPEES 'DANGEROUS'

MITCHELL

PALMER

COPS  have launched a desperate manhunt for two "dangerous" and possibly armed inmates who escaped from New York's Monroe County Jail.  Eddie R. Palmer, 35, and Joseph Lee Mitchell, 34 - who were cellmates at one time - worked loose one of the bars in their housing area and squeezed their way through to freedom.
Neither had been jailed for violent offenses but Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn said the men would be desperate to avoid detection and therefore should be considered "dangerous."
Once recaptured, the men will face additional charges of escaping incarceration - which will add five years to their sentences and therefore they pose a risk to the public.

BASEBALL HOOLIGANS BATTER FAN AT HOME OPENER

IT'S usually European soccer fans who are known for beating the crap out of each other in the stadiums. 
But now America's past time has been marred by violence at the home opener at Dodger's stadium, where a San Francisco Giant's fan was critically injured.

HOW ROO-D! PLEASE KAN-GA KEEP HIM?

IRWIN

ROO-D city officials are trying to take away woman's beloved partially paralyzed kangaroo, which she claims helps her with depression.
Mad marsupial lover, Christie Carr has cared for Irwin - named after crazy crocodile hunter, Steve Irwin, since he was a baby.
At the advice of her therapist, Carr began volunteering at a local animal sanctuary, where she met the animal, to help her cope with depression.
Less than a week later, the kangaroo ran into a fence, fracturing his neck and causing severe brain damage.
But rather than see him put down, Carr took the animal into her Broken Arrow, OKLA home and nursed him back to health, slowing helping him regain his mobility.
Today, although he cannot stand or walk on his own, he can hop three or

HERO AMPUTEE DOWNS THIEF WITH HIS FAKE LEG

HERO

HE thought it would be easy, just walk into the convenience store, pull out a gun and walk away with the takings. But Eric F Homen hadn't banked on Stephen Cornell, a have-a-go-hero with a prosthetic limb when he set out to rob JC Grill & Pizza in Salem, MA. 
"I just reacted," said the 55-year-old, who lost his leg aged 12.
"I said, 'OK, I'll just wait,' and when he tries to come out of the store, I was going to jump him. He just came out so fast I tripped him, and he tripped me and I fell, and he fell."

"He stumbled and fell, and God, when I was on the ground I was thinking, 'Oh, my God, the next thing you know, he's going to shoot me.'"

Cornell and owner Edson Andrade disarmed the thief and dragged him back into the store in a choke hold before calling police.
