time for the feed, the stories that get their social start on social media are now getting shared and re-tweeted over the net. we start with friday night- lights in pittsburgh. normally the band,s marching different times. in pittsburgh a high school marching band took the field before the home game. the opposing team refused to yield continuing their pregame warmups right in the middle of the show. are you kidding? the band posted the video on their facebook page. it didn't even matter to the players that the band was playing the national anthem. can you hear the boos? the football players are accused of shoving and taunting the band members. this was a hot mess. the referees ended up issuing the deer valley high school team a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. when the game started.
12:53 pm
>> so even the band getting rough and tumble. >> the band member should have whacked them with the tuba. >> they did have the tuba on their side. a state trooper who offered a helping hand is going viral. a woman in alabama saw the trooper at a mcdonald's drive through. she thought he was buying lunch when she saw this, he helped a homeless man out of the suv and handed him a meal. the guy was said to be disabled. he says he hadn't eaten in three days and was trying to get to family in north carolina. that trooper treated him to a hot meal and a ride for part of his journey. the woman snapped a photo of the two and it quickly became an online sensation. >> glad they captured that. more than 3 million people have viewed a photo of an overprotective dad. i think we can understand this moment. an overprotective dad sharing a tender moment with his daughter's boyfriend. in the picture benjamin shock is hugging the teen. >> you're embarrassing me dad.
12:54 pm
boy and shock's 15-year-old daughter shared at their school's homecoming party. the caption says whatever you do to my daughter i will do to you. the picture provided some comic relief for the family. >> i feel like there was an implied threat in there. >> not so much to benjamin shock but it was comic relief to the family. >> you guys have a perspective of being a dad and i have a dad, and ooh he's an alpha male. >> message gotten there. that'll do it for this edition of eyewitness news. i'm david novarro. >> and i'm shirleen allicot. make sure you're back this are you getting the internet speed you need?

12:56 pm
you know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto . nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto ... ...was the right move for us.
