Six years ago, when Tom Newhart and his wife rescued a baby cat and named him Sugar, they never imagined that his life would end in a hail of gunfire. However, thanks to a North Catasauqua police officer, that’s exactly what happened. Last Sunday, Sugar escaped from the Newhart’s home. Hours later, he’d be gunned down by police. “It’s like one of your children, you raised them, bottle fed them,” said Newhart as he began tearing up. When Sugar escaped, a neighbor five houses down found him and decided to call the police after not being able to detain the lost cat. When the cop showed up, he pulled out a shotgun and it was open season on lost cats. “I found the cat sitting right here,” said the neighbor, Mike Lienert. When the officer showed up, he told Lienert that it’s “not politically correct, but if it’s injured we will put it down,” — as if being ‘politically correct’ has anything to do with killing an innocent animal. The officer then walked into Lienert’s backyard, blew the cat away, and then told Lienert that he’d have to clean up the mess. Lienert said aside from poking at the dead cat’s body, the officer never attempted to catch the cat. Lienert said the cat did hiss at the officer, but instead of grabbing a pair of gloves and putting the cat in a cage, this public servant did some target practice. After recovering Sugar’s body, the Newhart’s decided to have him x-rayed by the vet to see if the officer was justified in shooting him. However, they found that Sugar was fine, and the officer had no reason to kill him. “No lacerations, no blood, other than neck wound on body. ” Newhart said. Newhart said he called the Mayor and the chief of police, who told him that this is not policy and has never happened before. “This guy doesn’t deserve the badge he wears, and should be fired immediately and held accountable,” said Newhart in a Facebook post. In a statement, the borough said it’s in the process of gathering information and conducting a review and investigation of what took place. After this process is complete, the borough will be taking the necessary and appropriate steps, according to WFMZ. According to a local animal shelter, the officer’s actions could be considered animal cruelty. According to the Free Thought Project, the officer’s actions are considered cowardly and sadistic.

Ever have cuy? Tastes like chicken.
I can not find a story on this. Anyone else find something concrete other than I heard a friend tell me about a guy that once heard someone murdered the president? People can claim anything these days! I find no actual story other than facebook story. When you deal with Deckard you have to find the real story before you can have a sane opinion on something!
Good grief man - in the article there's an embedded link to a a mainstream news source (the only kind you trust, apparently). Do you need instructions on how to click on a link?
Facebook is a social media site, not a mainstream news source. Various news articles available here. None is particularly informative. https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=+Tom+Newhart+Catasauqua+sugar According to the post-shooting vet report, the cat had been fine. The cat was five houses away from home. Why did Lienert call the police? If the solution was to put on a pair of gloves, why did Lienert not put on a pair of gloves? What was the cat doing that compelled Lienert to call anyone?

Can you seriously be obtuse enough to consider Face Book a mainstream news source?
Geesh - don't tell me you missed the WFMZ link the second time I posted it.
I readily miss links that are indistinguishable from the rest of the text. The post contains an unidentified something in Adobe Flash which I do not use. Executives at Apple, Google, and Firefox have called for Adobe Flash to be subjected to a mercy killing to cure its incessant security hazards. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/14/adobe_response_to_security_holes/ Adobe: We REALLY are taking Flash security seriously – honest Read their Lips – get our tips Adobe insists it is working hard to boost the security defenses in its pilloried Flash Player. The Photoshop giant, based in San Jose, California, says it is making an "extensive" push to secure its plugin before another wave of vulnerabilities are revealed in the software. We're told that, as a result of "recent developments," Adobe is stepping up its efforts to shore up Flash's defenses with mitigations against attacks. Speaking of recent developments, three critical security holes in Flash have emerged in the past fortnight – two over the weekend (CVE-2015-5122 and CVE-2015-5123) and CVE-2015-5119 earlier this month. The 5119 bug has been patched by Adobe, and updates to fix the other two are due this week. All three were revealed in the Hacking Team leaks, and all three allow miscreants to install malware and execute other malicious code on Windows, OS X and Linux computers. Crooks are already exploiting them to hijack systems because they have all the information they need to do so. Adobe is under fire because these security flaws keep cropping up time and time and time again – if not in Flash then Adobe Reader and Acrobat. We've described Flash as software from Hell and "the screen door through which the raw unfiltered sewage of the internet oozes into the homes of netizens." Harsh, perhaps, but we are not alone in our opinion. Yes, all sorts of programs and operating systems – from Windows and OS X to Oracle Java and IBM products you've never even heard of – suffer from critical remote-code execution bugs. But Flash is everywhere, on every platform, and in everyone's browser: your parents use it, your children use it, admit it – you use it. It can be playing a video one moment, and helping a criminal install malware the next. It's an obvious target for hackers, and too often it puts up too little resistance. Facebook's new chief security officer Alex Stamos, a respected chap in the infosec world, said this week that it's time for Adobe to kill off Flash, and for web browser makers to permanently block it. [snip] http://www.cnet.com/news/another-security-flaw-affects-all-versions-of-adobe-flash/ The vulnerability is being exploited by a cyberespionage group targeting governments, NATO and the media, researchers warn. Security October 15, 20154:31 PM PDT A day after releasing its monthly security update, Adobe confirmed it has discovered a new vulnerability in Flash Player that affects every version running on the Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems. Adobe said Thursday that it will issue an out-of-cycle security update next week to address the software plug-in's vulnerability, which it warned could crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. The bug was discovered earlier this week by researchers at Trend Micro. "Adobe is aware of a report that an exploit for this vulnerability is being used in limited, targeted attacks. Adobe expects to make an update available during the week of October 19," the company said in its advisory. The San Jose, California-based software maker did not immediately respond to a request for more information on the vulnerability. The vulnerability in the widely used plug-in is already being used in phishing attacks launched by cyberespionage group Pawn Storm against a variety of governments, according to Trend Micro. Active since 2007, the group is known to have targeted governments in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, as well NATO organizations, the White House and US media, Trend Micro reported. Adobe's Flash was once the de facto standard for websites to run games, stream video and deliver animation over browser software. It has fallen out of favor, however, with many tech companies and organizations, which deride the plug-in as a battery hog and security vulnerability. In its heyday, Flash ran on more than 800 million mobile phones manufactured by 20 handset makers. Its popularity has waned in recent years as more in the online video industry turn to HTML5, a developing language that can run graphics without plug-ins. Following Steve Jobs' high-profile open letter attacking Flash in 2010, a chorus of voices in the tech community has called for the software to be retired. In August, Google announced it would no longer automatically play advertisements made with Flash on its Chrome browser, the most popular Web browser in the world. In July, a day after Facebook security chief Alex Stamos said that "it is time for Adobe to announce the end-of-life date for Flash," Mark Schmidt, the head of Firefox support, declared that Flash is "blocked by default in Firefox as of now." Citing Flash's poor track record with security, some researchers recommend Web users disable or remove the plug-in altogether. "2015 has been a very bad year for the Flash Player and given that a patch won't be available for several more days it is crucial to take immediate action to protect yourself," Jerome Segura, a senior malware researcher at Malwarebytes, wrote in a blog post Wednesday. "Indeed, this window of opportunity is something that exploit kit authors have taken advantage of in the past to infect scores of end users." http://bgr.com/2015/10/15/adobe-flash-player-security-vulnerability-warning/ By Zach Epstein The fun never ends with Adobe Flash. Just one day after Adobe released its monthly security patches for various software including Flash Player, the company confirmed a major security vulnerability that affects all versions of Flash for Windows, Mac and Linux computers. You read that correctly… all versions. Adobe said it has been made aware that this vulnerability is being used by hackers to attack users, though it says the attacks are limited and targeted. Using the exploit, an attacker can crash a target PC or even take complete control of the computer. And now for the fun part: The only way to effectively protect yourself against this serious security hole is to completely uninstall Flash Player from your machine. “A critical vulnerability (CVE-2015-7645) has been identified in Adobe Flash Player 19.0.0.207 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh and Linux,” Adobe wrote in a security bulletin posted to its website. “Successful exploitation could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.” The company went on to state that it “hopes” to make an update available sometime next week to address the critical security hole, though it’s currently unclear exactly when it plans to release the fix. It’s also not clear if all versions of Flash Player will be patched across all platforms. This new Flash vulnerability was first discovered by security researchers at Trend Micro, which wrote about the bug in a recent blog post. “Trend Micro researchers have discovered that the attackers behind Pawn Storm are using a new Adobe Flash zero-day exploit in their latest campaign,” Trend Micro wrote. “Pawn Storm is a long-running cyber-espionage campaign known for its high-profile targets and usage of the first Java zero-day we’ve seen in the last couple of years.” [...] Again, every version of Flash Player on Windows, Mac and Linux is affected. And until fixes are released by Adobe, the only way to protect your computer is to completely uninstall Flash. While known attacks that utilize this exploit indeed appear to be very targeted, there’s simply no way to tell if the security hole is being used more widely by hackers. UPDATE: In light of the severity of this vulnerability, Adobe on Friday rushed out a patch well ahead of schedule. Visit this post for details on how to secure your system.
