In Queensland, Australia, an ambulance crew taking a terminally ill woman to the hospice where she would spend her last days, made a touching detour when she asked if she could see the ocean one last time. They stopped at a bluff above Hervey Bay, rolled the gurney out so she could see the water. After watching the waves for a few minutes, she told paramedics Graeme Cooper and Danielle Kellan “I’m at peace. Everything is right.” The Queensland Ambulance service ran a photo on their Facebook page.
In a much less heartwarming story, a convicted killer is Columbus, Ohio, is suing the state’s Department of Rehabilitation and Correction because his dreadlocks have been forcibly cut off. According to the New York Post, Cecil Kroger claims to be a Rastafarian, and that by cutting off his dreads, the state has “stolen part of his identity.” The state did not reply to the paper, but the paper notes that prison rules hair prohibit “hair disproportionately longer in one area than another (excluding natural baldness), weaves, and dreadlocks.”
Finally, the mean girls at the Dairy Queen get a little too mean. Time Magazine tells of Harley Branham was manager at a Kansas City, Missouri DQ was found guilty of being the “principal in the cause of death,” of one of her employees, Kenneth Suttner. It was claimed that Branham, 22, she bullied the 17-year-old Suttner so relentlessly, he eventually shot himself.
