Nauset Beach in Massachusetts was evacuated Saturday afternoon when a 12 to 14-foot shark was spotted only 100 feet out. A great white’s dorsal fin cut through the top of the water as it cruised the shoreline. Beach goers tell the story:
“All of a sudden, we saw this person in a kayak, and we saw a fin 10 feet from it,” said Lizzy Jenkins.
Everyone else in the water immediately ran onto the beach.
“We started swimming and people on the shore started waving us in,” said Christina Proulx.
They all watched as a kayaker was seemingly stalked by the shark. Everyone was screaming at Walter Szulc, Jr. who was kayaking for the first time. He didn’t see the people run from the water. He didn’t hear them yelling, either. At first.
He had no idea what was lurking a few feet behind him. “So I looked behind me and that’s when I saw the shark, it was pretty much right there, I got a glimpse of it. It was a good size and it had a fin sticking out, so I just turned and paddled,” said Szulc.
Szulc paddled in safely-he never turned around long enough to see it’s face.
He didn’t need to, it was already too close for comfort.
The beach was closed to swimmers immediately, but a few people braved the waters anyway, even without lifeguards. Perhaps if the shark had actually eaten the kayaker, they would have heeded warnings and stayed out of the its new feeding grounds.

What’s the first thing you do when you find out your lover has taken another? Pour wasabi sauce on her jeans, push her to the ground, then smack her in the eyes with the tainted jeans? That is exactly what John McGuinness of Massachusetts is being charged with.
The college student is facing criminal charges after admitting he assaulted his girlfriend with a pair of jeans covered in wasabi sauce, an attack that the man claims was prompted when “some guy she slept with in school was texting her.”
After receiving a text from McGuinness stating he was throwing her jeans outside (apparently she left his house sans pants the last time she was there), she arrived at McGuinness’ home, where he “came out to the driveway with my jeans covered in wasabi sauce.”
She told cops that McGuinness “had my jeans by the waist and whipped me in the face with them. I got wasabi sauce in my eyes and they were burning and I couldn’t see.”
McGuinness, a Springfield College student, then tossed wasabi sauce inside the woman’s car. The victim told officers that after McGuinness threw her to the ground, she got back into her car and retrieved a bottle of water, which she used to flush her eyes.
Cops noted that the passenger side of the woman’s 2007 Toyota Camry “was covered in wasabi sauce.” The victim, whose clothing was covered in dirt stains, had “visible red marks on her neck area” and “her right eye was visibly red and swollen.”

It’s all so confusing. The Killers may have said it best: “Somebody told me, that you had a boyfriend, who looked like a girlfriend, I had in February of last year…”
Evidently, she was allegedly trying to BE the girlfriend by being the boyfriend of a 15-year-old girl she met online. Posing as a 17-year-old boy named “James Puryear Wilson”, Carissa Hads met the teenage girl on an unnamed “social networking site” around October 2010.
Hads was arrested two weeks ago on a U.S. District Court complaint accusing her of coercion or enticement of a minor, a felony carrying a maximum of 30 years in prison. On Friday, Hads was ordered held without bond by a federal magistrate judge who ruled she was a flight risk and a danger to the community.
Hads, using the “Wilson” persona, and the girl became “involved in an internet romance” that included Hads sending the teen two cell phones “for A.L.’s use to contact ‘him.’” Along with paying the girl’s monthly cell phone bills, Hads also sent her a Kindle Fire tablet, according to the affidavit.
Didn’t A.L.’s parents think it was a LITTLE strange for their daughter to be sent such extravagant gifts? And A.L.’s mother drove her own daughter 100 miles to meet an internet friend at a MOTEL? Then, two months later lets that “friend” stay at their house for five days–unsupervised?
