Several stores looted in downtown Los Angeles following fourth day of protests Several stores looted in downtown Los Angeles following fourth day of protests Several stores looted in downtown Los Angeles following fourth day of protests Looters burglarized several stores in downtown Los Angeles for the second night in a row late Monday into early Tuesday following several days of protests and disturbances in parts of the city prompted by federal immigration enforcement operations. Authorities said multiple people were detained after break-ins at several stores downtown. They include Adidas, Apple, Shoe Palace, CVS, a marijuana dispensary, a pharmacy and a jewelry store. It's not yet clear if the suspects were involved in the ongoing protests or if they were simply being opportunistic given the situation. Officers with the LAPD investigate after an Adidas store was looted following the fourth day of immigration-related protests in downtown Los Angeles. OC HAWK A man told CBS News Los Angeles that he saw groups using tools and saws to break into the storefronts. "They came prepared," the man said.

Book Review: Wally Lamb explores human cruelty and grace in prison with `The River is Waiting'
Corby Ledbetter is in trouble. In Wally Lamb's new novel, 'The River Is Waiting,' Corby has lost his job as a commercial artist and has developed a secret addiction to alcohol and pills, setting him on a dangerous path that leads to an unfathomable tragedy. Corby starts staying at home during the day with his twin toddlers — one boy and one girl — while his wife works as the family's sole breadwinner. Lying to his spouse that he's looking for a job, he starts his mornings drinking hard liquor mixed with his prescription pills for anxiety, leaving him incapable of properly caring for the children he loves. A tragic mix up one morning results in the death of Corby's young son when he accidentally drives over the boy in their driveway. Devastated by the loss of little Niko, Corby now also faces a three-year prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter. 'The River Is Waiting' is Lamb's first novel in nine years and a new chance to explore human imperfection as he did in earlier best-selling novels that included 'She's Come Undone,' about an obese adolescent girl awash in depression, and 'I Know This Much Is True,' the story of a man fighting to protect his paranoid schizophrenic twin brother. Oprah Winfrey announced Tuesday that she picked 'The River Is Waiting' for her book club, the third time she's selected a Lamb book. Almost all the action in Lamb's latest book plays out in prison, an ideal setting to examine the worst and best of humanity. The author taught writing workshops for incarcerated women over two decades, an experience that has helped him to draw a vivid picture of life behind bars, with all its indignities and a few acts of grace. While Corby is tormented by two excessively cruel guards, he also befriends the prison librarian, who shares book recommendations and homemade cookies with inmates who stop by. She even encourages him to paint a mural on the library wall. Several other prisoners also become friends, including a kind cellmate who looks out for him. Corby later tries to look out for someone else — a severely troubled young inmate who shouldn't have been locked up with hardened criminals. During his imprisonment, Corby worries about whether his beloved wife, Emily, and their daughter, Maisie, can ever forgive him. But the experience hasn't left him especially enlightened. At the end, Corby remains mostly a self-centered guy. He's no hero and there's no big epiphany. Like the protagonists in Lamb's earlier novels, he is utterly human, failings and all. ___ AP book reviews:

Detroit man charged with making bomb threats against Macomb County shelter
A Detroit man is accused of making false bomb threats to the Macomb County Rotating Emergency Shelter Team's building in Mount Clemens. On June 7, Aramis Marquis Smith, 33, allegedly used a TextNow number to call the Macomb County nonprofit and reportedly said, "You need to leave, there may be a bomb in the building." A pair of bomb-sniffing K-9 teams searched the shelter's building and found no bomb. Following the search, Smith allegedly placed four more calls to the nonprofit's staff, reportedly saying, "You still are not safe." Officials say Macomb County Rotating Emergency Shelter Team staff recognized Smith's voice, and the TextNow number was traced back to Smith. He was later arrested while sitting across the street from the nonprofit's building. Following an investigation by the Macomb County Sheriff's Office, Smith is charged with one count of false report or threat of terrorism and one count of false report of threat of bomb/harmful device. He was arraigned and given a $5,000 bond. "The gravity of this offense and its impact on MCREST and the services it provides to the public are serious. We will fully prosecute this reckless and intentional behavior to hold this individual accountable for his actions," said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido. Smith is back in court on June 23 for a probable cause conference, with a preliminary examination date to follow.
