Charlie Brown Voice Actor Arrested

We all remember the TV "Charlie Brown Christmas" and "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown", the episodes replayed every year to go along with the holidays. Peter Robbins was the voice actor representing our favorite chronically depressed cartoon character in these episodes. The 56 year old was arrested on Sunday charges that include stocking. Apparently  he also "made threats to cause death or great bodily injury". His manager has refused to comment. A US Customs and Border Protection Spokesman said that Robbins was arrested at the San Ysidro Port of entry, and a background check on Robbins yielded a warrant on him from the San Diego sherriff's department.

11 Year Old Killing Machine

At 11 years old, Mohammed Afar is a trained and equipped killing machine for the Free Syrian Army. He trains at a range with other fighters who compliment his shooting. "He is a great shot," his father says. "He is my little lion." Some groups fighting in Syria have been recruiting children for military and other purposes. The UN Conventions for the rights of children and the Geneva convention have provisions disallowing the use of combatants under the  age of 15. Many disprove of allowing children to fight, even if they volunteer themselves. Mohhamad's father sees little wrong with bringing his 11 year old son to the battle fields.
Mohhamed Afar says he doesn't miss going to school like most children his age, or even miss living with his mother and sisters. "I want to stay as a fighter until Bashar is killed."

That Rabid Llama

An abnormally aggressive pet llama was noticed was noticed in Morganton, Georgia. Not only did it show violent attempts of spitting attacks, but the llama ferociously tried to bite itself and its caretakers. After being euthanized and brought to a lab on December 28, a veterinarian affirmed the llama to have an unfortunate case of the rabies. As we know, rabies is a serious disease to the extent that having contact with anything rabid should be concerning. The rabid pet llama managed to put four people in contact with the virus- mostly through means of spitting. One caretaker who was spat on is going through a rabies treatment. Another has decided that rabies treatment will be unneeded. Authorities haven't heard from the other two people expsed to the llama's  rabies.
