Ohio judge is shot by the father of the rapist who he convicted of raping

By -

An Ohio judge was shot and wounded by the father of the Steubenville rapist who was convicted of raping a girl during an alcohol-fueled party in 2012.
Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr, 65, was ambushed and shot outside a Steubenville, Ohio courthouse by Nathaniel Richmond, who was later killed by a probation officer.
The judge, who was armed at that time of the incident, reportedly returned fire 5 times during the exchange of gunshots with Nathaniel's father. But he was shot dead by a probation officer who was walking between buildings and heard the gunfire, according to officials.
Bruzzese who was shot and wounded was airlifted to a Pittsburgh-area hospital and taken into surgery, where he is listed to be in a stable condition.
Richmond, 51, was identified as the father of Nathaniel  Ma’Lik, who was convicted of raping a 16-year-old girl who was passed out at an alcohol-fueled party.
The victim was photographed in compromising positions and the photos were shared by members of the football team.
Nathaniel and one of his friends from Steubenville High School served about 10 months in a juvenile lockup in 2013 after being convicted of penetrating the unconscious girl during an alcohol-fueled party in 2012.
Recently after a student launched a petition that called for his removal from their college football team, citing his rape conviction. The Youngstown State University was forced to announce on August 10 that Ma'Lik would not be playing football this season but would remain part of the football program and participate in practice.
According to Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin, investigators say they are still looking for a motive in the shooting and haven't found a connection to the rape case.
Although, Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr was part of the trial, but it was a visiting judge from Hamilton County, where Cincinnati is located, handled the vast majority of the rape case.

The courthouse will now be guarded by heavily armed securities, while the FBI will be helping out in the shooting investigation.

A New York pharmacy has been on the receiving end of a backlash after announcing a new store policy that "all male customers are subject to a 7% Man Tax". The unofficial levy was announced in the window of Thompson Chemists in the Soho district of Manhattan on Monday, alongside another sign declaring that "all female customers shop tax free". The move has triggered a passionate debate on Reddit and Facebook , fuelled by an image of the independent shop's window, which has been viewed several hundred thousand times on the photo sharing site Imgur. An employee of Thompson Chemists confirmed to BBC Trending that the new policy was to highlight instances of gender pricing discrepancy. It follows a study conducted by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs which found that on average "women's products cost 7% more than similar products for men." The gender price gap was even greater when it came to adult clothes and personal...

Body Language :: Hand to face gestures

The Mouth Guard The mouth guard is one of the few adult gestures that is as obvious as a child's. The hand covers the mouth and the thumb is pressed against the cheek as the brain sub-consciously instructs it to try and suppress the deceitful words that are being said. Sometimes this gesture may only be several fingers over the mouth or even a closed fist, but its meaning remains the same. Many people try to disguise the mouth guard gesture by giving a fake cough.If the person who is speaking uses this gesture, it indicates that he is telling a lie. If, however, he covers his mouth while you are speaking, it indicates that he feels you are lying! Nose Touching and Eye Rub The Nose Touch - In essence, the nose touch gesture is a sophisticated, disguised version of the mouth guard gesture.
