Apparently, the fastest man in the world wasn’t fast enough to get away from a cameraman on a Segway scooter! But seriously, Bolt is apparently okay.

A Michigan man who robbed a local credit union reportedly did so in a desperate attempt to help pay for his daughter’s chemotherapy, according to authorities, ABC News reports.
Brian Randolph, 23, is accused of entering the Vibe Credit Union in South Lyon earlier this month, and passing a note demanding money. The note said that he had a gun hidden in his clothes, but Randolph reportedly never showed a firearm and, according to the authorities, did not actually have a gun with him.
The young father has been charged with armed robbery. His bond was set at $500,000.
According to ABC News, Randolph’s troubles began when his insurance company reportedly stopped paying for his daughter’s chemotherapy treatment. Brialynn, who is one, has retinoblastoma, a cancer that forms in the eye, and needs treatment, that costs thousands of dollars, every four weeks, the site notes.
Randolph told the authorities that it was a last-ditch attempt to get money for Brialynn’s upcoming session.
“I guess it was desperation. Time was ticking right before her actual appointment came up,” Brialynn’s mother, Asia Dupree told WXYZ-TV. “This was after the insurance was cancelled…[We] kept calling. No answer. Voicemails. No answer. No callbacks.”
Moments after his daughter was murdered on live television for the world to see, Andy Parker, father of WDBJ’s Alison Parker – one of the victims in Wednesday Virginia killings – appeared on Fox News of all places to talk about his daughter and the need for sensible gun laws in this country.
“Next week it isn’t going to be a story anymore,” Mr. Parker said on Fox, “and everybody’s gonna forget it. But mark my words, my mission in life… I’m going to do something, whatever it takes to get gun legislation, to shame people, to shame legislatures into doing something about closing loopholes in background checks and making sure crazy people don’t get guns!”
While Mr. Parker spoke, Kelly just nodded, fully aware that Fox News – being the media mouthpiece of the NRA and the right hand Republican party – will do all they can to continue pushing their usual narrative, that guns don’t kill people and that more guns is the answer!
Reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward were shot and killed on Wednesday while broadcasting and interview in Moneta Virginia.
