Looks like things for Netflix 13 Reasons Why will expand on the cause and effect of rape and school bullying and responsibilities of ones actions that cause reaction.
Not much is known about 13 Reasons Why season two…until now. The Netflix series is “going off book,” still living in the world based on Jay Asher’s book, but going further with the characters, Kate Walsh told E! News.
“It’s a very exciting season for a lot of reasons,” Walsh said. “You see us sort of following the trail of Bryce Walker [Justin Prentice], so this season deals with sexual assault, it deals with truth, it deals with responsibility, it deals with the aftermath of Hannah’s death…And really trying to, again, look for responsibility and accountability. It’s very intense and very, I think, still totally addictive.”…..

Toddler shoots pregnant mother outside Indiana thrift store
MERRILLVILLE, Ind. – A 3-year-old girl found her father’s gun inside a parked car and managed to pull the trigger, accidentally firing a bullet into her pregnant mother, police said.
The shooting happened around 4 p.m. Tuesday in the 300 block of East 81st Avenue in Merrillville, Ind., in the parking lot of Plato’s Closet.
The woman, identified by WMAQ as 21-year-old Shaneque Thomas, was sitting in a white sedan with the 3-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy while her boyfriend shopped. Thomas was in the front seat when the little girl fired the gun from the back seat, police said.
“What I saw was a lady she was almost about to fall, she was like bleeding out with like a bucket of blood on the ground and I just saw her two kids just standing there,” witness Paloma Prieto said.
Employees of Plato’s Closet heard screaming and ran out to help.
“The boyfriend was inside the store shopping so he ran outside because someone told him that there was a girl bleeding and he was yelling, ‘Did you kill yourself? Did you do this to yourself?’,” said Hadassah Kirkle, a supervisor at Plato’s Closet.
“We grabbed the little boy who was still in the car and we took the little girl from the mom because she was holding her hand and we took them inside and just tried comforting them the best we could,” said Plato’s Closet employee Rebecca Todd.
Detective Sgt. James Bogner said the girl “had no idea what she had done and she was very scared.”
Thomas was transported to Methodist Hospital’s Southlake campus.
She is listed in critical but stable condition.
The father isn’t being named pending formal charges, but police say he was held on suspicion of child endangerment.
The couple had traveled from their home in Michigan City to get pregnancy care at a Planned Parenthood, according to the Times of Northwest Indiana.
The investigation is ongoing.

3 workers fired at L.A. Fitness after black men kicked out of NJ gym
SECAUCUS, NJ — Three workers at a New Jersey gym were fired after they kicked two black men out and called police on them Monday night, according to an L.A. Fitness employee.
Tshyrad Oates posted now viral videos of his encounter with employees to Facebook. Oates, who was at the gym using a guest pass with a friend who is a member, said a manager at the gym called Secaucus police.
Both men had checked in when they arrived, but employees apparently harassed them, Oates said. About a half hour after they arrived, an employee came over to Oates and told him he had to leave or pay. He said he’d just signed in with her with the guest pass, and then she said it was his friend who did not pay. His friend is a member and has swiped in with a tag when they arrived.
“He felt racially profiled and embarrassed by the harassment of this La Fitness employee in front of other members at the gym,” Oates wrote on Facebook.
The men continued their workout until two police officers showed up and questioned them about their presence in the gym. Oates and his friend explained the situation to them and the gym rescanned Oates’ friend’s member tag, which showed a current active statues.
They went back to working out, but then a manager came over to tell them to leave, Oata said. Then five police officers showed up telling them to leave.
“This La Fitness manager who refused to give us his reason to kicking us out, and refused to give us his name stated that I was banned from the gym and my friend’s gym membership has been terminated effective immediately,” Oates wrote on Facebook. This is ridiculous and the last video sealed the deal.”
In one video, Oates said he and his friend were the only two black people in the gym.
The incident took place the day before Starbucks announced plans to close stores for racial bias training in the wake of the arrest of two black men at a Philadelphia Starbucks.
PIX11 has reached out to L.A. Fitness for a comment, but has not yet heard back.

Teacher says he was suspended for making students breakfast during state test
LANCASTER, Pa. – A teacher at a Pennsylvania middle school said he was suspended and expected to lose his job after making breakfast for his students while they took state tests last week.
LancasterOnline.com reports Hand Middle School teacher Kyle Byler brought an electric griddle and made a whole-grain pancake for each student to eat during the test.
Less than 24 hours later, the eighth-grade social studies teacher said he was told the school board would be voting at a Tuesday meeting to decide whether or not to terminate him for causing a distraction during the tests. He was suspended without pay, but the school board said in a statement Tuesday afternoon that “there was never any dismissal action on the Board’s agenda,” and that he’s due back in the classroom this week.
District officials added that “no teacher can be dismissed without the School Board first approving a written notice that offers the opportunity for a School Board hearing, and that step has also not occurred.”
“I don’t understand what I did wrong, to be honest with you. There was no infraction whatsoever,” Byler, 38, told LancasterOnline.com. “At no point was it any distraction for any of the students. They worked their butts off.”
School officials said in the statement that they already provide food for the students, and that “the Pennsylvania Department of Education strictly requires that teachers who proctor PSSA testing focus their full attention on monitoring students during the test.”
Nicole Reigelman, a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of Education, told the paper that while no rules are in place to keep teachers from preparing a meal for students during a test, doing so would “likely interfere with ‘actively monitoring’ the assessment, which is a key task.”
Meanwhile, Byler’s students have come to his defense and even protested for two hours outside the school Friday.
Lancaster Education Association President Jason Molloy told the newspaper that the situation should have been handled differently. He said that losing Byler would be “a terrible injustice to his students,” and that many of them are from economically distressed households and often come to school hungry.
“For some, whole-grain pancakes may be the only hot meal they’ve gotten that day,” said Molloy.
See the full response from the school district below:
There is an inaccurate news report that the School Board is scheduled to take action tonight to dismiss a teacher. That is wrong. There was never any dismissal action on the Board’s agenda. In any event, no teacher can be dismissed without the School Board first approving a written notice that offers the opportunity for a School Board hearing, and that step has also not occurred. Nor will it occur in this situation, as the personnel matter has been resolved with the employee, who is scheduled to return to work.
Regarding the incident addressed in the news report, the School District provides a free breakfast and lunch for all students every day, including PSSA testing days. Moreover, the Pennsylvania Department of Education strictly requires that teachers who proctor PSSA testing focus their full attention on monitoring students during the test. All teachers serving as PSSA test proctors receive specific training on testing protocol. Had permission been sought by a teacher to cook in the classroom during PSSA testing and serve food to the students, the response would have been that such activities would distract the teacher from the required duties as a test proctor. PDE has requested information about this incident for its review.
We acknowledge, appreciate and support the many SDoL educators who go above and beyond to meet the needs of our students every day, and we thank the community for advocating on behalf of our students.

Parents Of Children Who Were Killed In Sandy Hook Are Suing Alex Jones Over His Conspiracy Theories
Three parents who lost their children in the mass shooting are suing the Infowars host
Infowars host Alex Jones is being sued by the parents of two children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre over his claims that it was a hoax.
Jones’ conspiracy theories led to death threats and “intense emotional anguish,” the parents allege in two separate lawsuits that seek more than $1 million in damages each.
Adam Lanza, 20, shot and killed 20 children and six adults at the Newtown, Connecticut, school in 2012 before turning the gun on himself. In the years since, Jones has aired several segments accusing the parents of the children who were killed of lying and calling them “crisis actors” involved in an elaborate plot.
The lawsuits were filed late Monday in Texas’s Travis County District Court by Veronique De La Rosa and Leonard Pozner, who lost their 6-year-old son Noah in the shooting, and Neil Heslin, who lost his son Jessie, also 6.
The lawsuits chronicle Jones’ campaign since the shooting, claiming that De La Rosa is a “crisis actor” and urging his audience to not “believe any of it.”
The lawsuit cites an April 2017 segment called “Sandy Hook Vampires Exposed” in which Jones talks about an interview De La Rosa did with CNN’s Anderson Cooper. Jones claims the interview uses a green screen and that it did not take place at the Edmond Town Hall in Newtown. He also rants about CNN, the Gulf War, the Arab Spring, Libya, and Syria, before circling back to say that CNN and De La Rosa are not to be believed.
“Based on the video footage of the Anderson Cooper interview with Mrs. De La Rosa, Mr. Jones sought to convince his audience that they should not “believe any of it.” the lawsuit states.
Jones’ conspiracy theories have not only caused emotional suffering but resulted in Pozner receiving death threats from an Infowars fan in January 2016, the lawsuit adds.
Florida resident Lucy Richardson sent four voice and email messages to Pozner, with threats, such as “you gonna die, death is coming to you real soon” and “LOOK BEHIND YOU IT IS DEATH,” according to the complaint. She was sentenced in 2017 to five months in prison and three years of supervised release over the threats and is banned from accessing conspiracy theory sites, including Infowars.
The other lawsuit, filed by Heslin, focuses on Jones’ claim that the father was lying when he told Megyn Kelly in a June 2017 interview that he had held his son’s dead body and seen the bullet hole in his head.
“I lost my son. I buried my son. I held my son with a bullet hole through his head,” he responded when asked to about Jones’ claims.
Jones and Infowars correspondent Owen Shroyer, who is also named as a defendant in Heslin’s lawsuit, then aired a segment in which Shroyer claimed that Heslin couldn’t have held his child because bodies were identified through photo identification after the shooting.
“The statement [Plaintiff] made, fact-checkers on this have said cannot be accurate. He’s claiming that he held his son and saw the bullet hole in his head. That is his claim. Now, according to a timeline of events and a coroner’s testimony, that is not possible,” Shroyer said on the show.
“You would remember if you held your dead kid in your hands with a bullet hole. That’s not something you would just misspeak on,” he added.
The bodies of Sandy Hook victims were released to their families for burial after the initial photo-based identification.
“This heartless and vile act of defamation re-ignited the Sandy Hook ‘false flag’ conspiracy and tore open the emotional wounds that Plaintiff has tried so desperately to heal,” the lawsuit states.
In November 2016, Jones aired a segment titled “Alex Jones Final Statement on Sandy Hook,” but continued to repeat his conspiracy theories into 2017.
“By making renewed accusations about the plaintiffs in 2017, Infowars breathed new life into this conspiracy and caused intense emotional anguish and despair,” the lawsuit states.
Jones, Shroyer, Free Speech Systems, and Infowars did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
“For the last five-and-a-half years since they have had to bury their children, Infowars and Alex Jones have repeatedly and continuously called them liars, called them crisis actors, and have made them re-live what they’ve had to go through. As a parent, it takes a toll on you,” Bill Ogden, an attorney representing the parents in both cases, told BuzzFeed News.
Ogden’s law firm, Farrar & Ball, is also representing Marcel Fontaine, a man suing Jones and Infowars for defamation after the site falsely identified him as the attacker in the Parkland school shooting.
“The First Amendment has restrictions on it. You can’t yell ‘fire’ in a movie theatre, you can’t incite a riot,” Ogden said. “You don’t have the right to just make up anything you want, especially as a news outlet, which they count themselves as the truth of journalism and truth media. You can’t just make up something that’s going to damage people this way and not expect consequences.”
Another man, Brennan Gilmore, is also suing Jones in a separate defamation claim after Infowars published conspiracy theories about him being an “operative of the Deep State” because he captured on video the moment a white supremacist in Charlottesville, Virginia, allegedly plowed his car into a crowd of anti-racist protesters last year, killing one and injuring dozens.
Scientists can’t explain why diplomats in Cuba are suffering from ‘traumatic brain injury’
For two years, diplomats posted to Cuba have been suffering a mysterious illness.
They say they have heard painful, high-pitched noises and lost their hearing. “Some were asleep and awakened by the sound, even as others sleeping in the same bed or room heard nothing,” the Associated Press reported. Scores have reported headaches, dizziness, nausea and difficulty concentrating.
Douglas Smith, director of the Center for Brain Injury and Repair at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, evaluated 24 affected Americans. He said his patients looked “exactly like the patients we would see in a concussion clinic,” according to the CBC.
His team has found “perceptible changes in [the] brains” of the victims, including changes to the “white matter tracts that let different parts of the brain communicate.” But none reported blows to the head.
Many of the victims reported trouble processing information. Some said they could not remember things anymore and struggled to come up with the right words when writing or speaking.
The symptoms have struck 24 Americans and 10 Canadians, including some minors. So far, investigators have not found their cause.
Initially, investigators suspected some kind of sonic attack. But they found little evidence of that. And scientists say acoustic waves have never been shown to alter the way the brain works. There has been suspicion that the ailment is something like a mass hysteria. But doctors say the changes to the brain that they see rule that out. They suspect it is a medical condition, though environmental assessments have yielded few clues.
