Good evening, I'm Anthony J. Scoobington, with WSCB TV.
Angry youths put up a burning roadblock outside luxury enclaves in Nigeria's commercial capital Tuesday as a paralyzing national strike over fuel prices and corruption entered its second day. Meanwhile, police said an Islamist sect killed eight people at a beer parlor in northeast Nigeria. The latter apparently was over the parlor not having Sam Adams Bean Pie flavored beer on tap or in bottle form.
The parents of Florida A&M band member Robert Champion, who died after a hazing ritual last November, said they will sue the company that owns the bus where the hazing took place. Champion's parents and attorney said Monday that the bus company's negligence contributed to his death. Fabulous Coach Lines owner Ray Land said his staff did everything to get help. Apparently, they did everything they could except drive to a hospital.
On Tuesday the Obama administration harshly criticized President Bashar Assad's latest effort to defend his regime's crackdown on protesters, saying it illustrates how unfit he is to lead a democratic transition in Syria. "He throws responsibility on everybody but back on himself," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in Washington. If anyone has seen or heard from Victoria Nuland since her statement please call 1-888-HLP-MEEE
From the folks at WSCB have a great evening. Stay hydrated.
