JARED LEE LOUGHNER 'MENTALLY INCOMPETENT'

MENTAL
GUN NUT Jared Lee Loughner who is accused of the shooting rampage which killed six people and wounded   U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, among others, has been ruled mentally incompetent to stand trial by a federal judge. U.S. District Judge Larry Burns made the decision after reading reports - which have not been made public -  by psychologist Christina Pietz and psychiatrist Matthew Carrollwho examined him during a five week stay at a federal facility.
It means his trial will be delayed indefinitely. The two were asked to determine whether Loughner understands the consequences of the case against him which has seen him plead not guilty to 49 federal charges. 
He is charged with the shooting at a meet-and-greet event that wounded Giffords and 12 others and killed six people, including a 9-year-old 
Loughner will now be sent to a federal facility for a maximum of four months to see if his competency can be restored.
If he's later determined to be competent, the case against him will resume, if not, his stay at the facility can be extended. There are no limits on the number of times such extensions can be granted.

JUSTIN BIEBER: CHARGES DROPPED IN MALL FRENZY

RIOT
DOUCHEBAG popstar Justin Bieber has agreed to record a public service announcement on cyberbullying so that criminal charges filed against his manager and a record executive after a frenzy at a New York mall will be dropped.
Back in 2009 thousands of squealing fans turned up Long Island clothing store to see the teen pop star sign autographs and overwhelmed cops, stunned by the size of the crowd cancelled the event.
But Def Jam Records executive James Roppo was arrested after police said he refused to help disperse the baying mob, eager to catch a glimpse of the "One Time" singer.  Months later, the NYPD also pressed child endangerment charges against Bieber's manager, Scott Braun.

Braun hadn't been at the mall, but police said that when reached by phone he initially refused an order to send out a Twitter message to Bieber's fans telling them he wouldn't appear.
Prosecutors told a judge Friday that they are dropping charges against both men and the record company and a management company pleaded guilty to fire code violations.
Nassau District Attorney Kathleen Rice told Newsday she was happy with the outcome of the case.
She said: "To have someone like Justin Bieber, who is emulated by kids his age across the world, educating people about the dangers of cyberbullying, that's invaluable."
