On page 185 it shows a huge issue that revolves around are country. The problem we have is are legal systems. Are police officers will do anything to save them self. They will do anything to switch the problem on you do itd not their fault. that is what happened in Columbine, they tried blaming Brooks the friend of the two killers. even though he had not be evolved and the cops were getting suiced for the deaths and the response time. The police tried putting all of it on brooks. They went so far to even bring one of his poems that he wrote about his friend who committed spiced. They said it showed how brooks is basically a bad guy. "The police had read the poem and interpreted it to mean that i was plotting against my own parents." This quote proves nothing he was writing a poem to deal with the pain of the death not to murder his own parents this just proves the judicial system is messed up. 

invisible children

I cant believe are government has not done anything about this tragedy. Kids are getting kidnapped and have to kill their family's. They are also in plated fear into their brain so they don't run away. They tell the children that they cant go back to their family because they murder them and the town wont except them. so they stay with Joseph the man that is trying to rebel and take over Northern Uganda. Are government has to send troops there and stop this madness. A man can not just kidnap children and kill there family and walk away alive from it. We really need to stop this massacre and take out Joseph. Once we take out Joseph Uganda's children should be able to sleep in their own beds.

No Easy Answer

Another issue that came up in my book No Easy Answer was the Judaical system. In the book after Eric and Dylan the two killers kill themselves. The police start looking for reasons why they committed this massacre. When they searched Eric's room they found a journal. In the Journal it talked about their plot and also places were they bought their weapons. Three people helped them Philip who worked at the pizza place with them, Mark who got them the tech-9, and Dylan's girl friend Robyn who got them the shotguns. Philip and Mark that both help Dylan and Eric get the tech-9s were sent to jail for six years and Robyn didn't get anything as it said in  the book. "Robyn admitted that she given Eric and Dylan the weapons they needed to slaughter the class of 1999. did she face charges like Mark and Philip did? No. not one. To this day, Robyn has never been charged with anything. Mark provided Eric and Dylan with one weapon, and he's in jail until 2005. Robyn got them three guns, and shes at home. funny how our system works."(pg:162) I agree with Brooks it doesn't make sense's that Mark and Philip get charged and Robyn gets to walk. They should all be charged for their crimes. i mean i would understand if she was forced top buy the weapons but she was not she did it on her own free well. If anything Mark and Philip should be let of but they still committed a crime. With guns there is zero tolerance they should all be put in jail for man slaughter.

I am currently on page 150 of this amazing book. Chapter five is by far the most interesting section of the book. I talks about how people don't expect the worst which is very bad. In this chapter it also explains in detail how the two kids Eric and Dylan pulled of the shooting. this book also shows how bulling can cause a huge impact. I know that was the reason behind the kill was the bulling that these boys received. if they were never bullied this would have never happened. "waiting outside, Eric and Dylan realized something was wrong. witnesses saw them standing atop the west stair case overlooking the school, perhaps deciding what to do next. underneath their trench coats, they were armed with pipe bombs, cricket bombs, the two shotguns, Eric's Hi-point 9-mili carbine, and Dylan tech 9."(pg.129-130) This quote proves are gun auction also have to be as strike as are gun store because Dylan and Eric had a friend that was 18 buy them the guns. If a auction were safer about selling guns there would be anther way we could stop this from ever happening.

abortion

I believe the national pro-choice web page was a lot better. The reason i believe this is because it has a lot more information on their topic; and it make me feel that it is only right for the woman to decide what they do with their baby not society. I also think that the abortion some medical factors were based on opinion and look like a third grader made the page. I personal think that the pro choice web page won the debate because they had way more information. For example they talk about how doctors were getting bomb threats and getting kiddnapped. this was all because they practiced the safe way of removing a child. to be honest i think it is a great idea for people that cant support a baby. You cant just tell someone youi have to have a baby just because you messed up its not fair and they should be givin another chance. I think the parent should know if your having an abortion because they are your parents and they should support your chioice and help you get through it. I do believe that your father and your mother should have the right to consent to you if you can have a baby or not because they still own you and made you. I agree that with the anti ban of abortion law that stated. " court held that Illinois' ban is unconstitutional because it has no exception to protect women's health and unduly burdens a woman's right to choose." The reason i agree with this is because it is the ture choice of the woman to decide if she wants to abort her baby. It is not the court or the governments right to decide.

no easy answer

In the book no easy answers on chapter eight it talks about Eric a main character who took part in the attack on the Columbine school. I don't not understand way the police did not take his threatening web page serous. On his web page he talked about how he vandalized property and how he wanted to kill everyone he didn't like in the school. He also talked about his old friend Brooks brown, and how he wanted to hurt him for telling on him. Brooks told his parents that he throw a rock at his car and broke the windshield. He also told his parents and the police about his web page. They both sad they would handle it. The police and his parents did nothing. This is what i believe could have stopped the columbine killing. If the police and his parents took the matter serous this would have never happen. This just shows how ablivous are communtiy and country is.

Death Penatly final response

                I do believe the abolishment of the death penalty was right because many people that were put on death row were innocent. As it said in the movie Deadline many people were released from prison because of new DNA testing that proved that the prisoner was not any were near the crime scene. This caused a converse on whether or not the death penalty is the right way to punish people for their capital punishments. The reason for Governor Ryan's choices to abolish the death penalty is because of Porter’s release on television. As it states in the article What Killed Illinois' Death Penalty Ryan wondered "how a man could come within 50 hours of being executed, only to be set free by the effort of journalism professor, his students and a private investigator." This just proves that not all people on death row were murders they were wrongly committed.

               

               We should not kill murders with our own way of murder. As it said in What Killed Illinois' Death Penalty John Wayne Gacy was said to be guilty but it was never questioned. He was put to death with little controversy. Before his death, the death sentence and execution hit a record level. Also If Illinois did not put a stop to its death penalty we would still have people getting executed. The record would continue to keep growing; executing someone is a cruel and unusually punishment. Governor Ryan in 2000 put a halt to executions. He then declared a moratorium and found that 61% of the voters did not even know the state still had the death penalty and was shocked. We should not allow the death penalty if not everyone in that state agrees with it.

                 In Gov. Ryan’s speech he stated that he has changed his mind many times about the death penalty and found that it was wrong. He found out that 33 of the death row inmates were resented by attorneys that later on in their carrier were not allowed to practice law anymore. We don’t know if the inmates would have a better verdict if they didn’t have these attorneys. He also stated that not all death row convictions were fair. They were mainly biest; he found that two thirds of the inmates on death row were Africa America. He stated that he does not know how many convicted people were wrongly committed and that this broke the system of law. This speech and numerous other thing like the Chicago tribunes article made Illinois in 2011 to 2010 abolish the death penalty. The reason i believe the death penalty is morally wrong because many people are wrongly committed and put to death for no reason at all. I am very glad that the death penalty is abolished and i thank everyone involved in the end of the death penalty in Illinois. 

No easy Answer

The book i am Reading is called No easy answers the truth behind death at columbine by Brown and Merritt. I am currently on page 50 and i do believe that video games did not cause Eric and Dylan to shoot up the school. They may have got there technics for the video game doom but its not the game industries fault that two kids took the game serous. There is kids that look at games as a joke and escape reality and there is those ids that take it serous. Its not the games that cause to shoot up schools it bulls bulling people and they get crazy and melt down cause the bully wont quit. So they feel the best way to take care of it is kill him/herself or others to escape their life.

Death Penalty responce to the movie deadline

Race plays a huge factor in the death penatly. I was a rasic tim back in the 1900 and if you werent white you were poor you had a big chance of getting put on deadrow. I n the movie deadline David Keaton a black male was put on death row. He was later found innocent this just proves that he was put as the mudere in the case because he was black and poor. If h was a whit male who was rich they would have never exepectied him. Black people have been constantly wrongly convicted because of the members of the jury and the media. The death penalty is greatly supported in the states where it is allowed. The reason for this is that people like the death penalty because they get revenge. People that have lost a son or family memeber to some else always looks for an eye for an eye because they want to take some pain of and put it on that person.

What i believe is the big picture in most of the clemency cases is that they were wrongly committed mainly on rase and intense interigation. As said in the movie deadline some black people that were interifgated by the chicago police troched them to say it was them that commited the crime when they didnt. They could not with stand the pain from all the torch. We need to make sure that are justice is ture and not done wrongfuly.

Death Penalty

 The stages in a court case helps determine whether or not someone will receive the death penalty.  In some of the stages that protect the rights of the accused. The defendant is innocent until proven guilty; there is a stage where the jury decides whether or not there is enough proof to accuse someone to receive the death penalty, which is a criminal hearing. They defendants has to be determined guilty without a reasonable doubt. After determining guilt or innocence, the jurors are tested by the court to see whether or not the accused should receive the death penalty. Than the prosecutor opinion of the death penalty. During this decision, the jury is required to consider the defendants background of his childhood to see if there is an traumatic incidents that are-accounted during his Young age. Also they look to see if the man has any mental retardation.The defendant is also protected in these stages by allowing for there to be a new trial if the accused felt there was not sufficient evidence or they can try to get clemency in order to not receive the death penalty. In my opinion these stages that the court set up do help to determine that a person is guilty. The jury also gives the defended a chance because they are not aloud to convict someone if the they ate unsure.  This just proves that the defendant has a fair judged case with all these process that go through a regular court system.options to be fairly judged.
             If the defendant is proven guilty and is given the death penalty there are many was of execution one is getting hung, firing squad, and three lethal injection. The firing squad and being hung are very inhumane. Most people don fully die when they are hung, their neck does not fully break and they slowly die by being suffocated. When use the firing squad method, the shooter can sometimes miss the vital organs by intention or by accident. The prisoner them would die a slowly death. I think these two methods are inhuman and are considered cruel and unusual under the Eighth Amendment. The reason it is cruel and unusual is because we have the technology such as lethal injection that makes you die with out pain.
      The charts i looked at showed the 16 states had the death penalty. Another interesting fact i found was only 12 people have been executed during 1976 but over all Texas has killed 475 death row inmates. What really strikes me is that Texas has a murder rate of 5 per 100,000 and are own state has a higher rate of 5.5 per 100,000. The method that we use is lethal injection. On other charts I saw, a few of the states had over 1200 people executed in that one state alone before the year 1976.
This really shocks me because we really never know who many of these people were killed when they might have been innocent. If the system just waited for more evidence we could have save many life's. 

drug testing in schools

I personal don't believe in drug testing at school. The reason i don't believe  in drug testing is one you have to show the person in charge what you are prescribed and that can be very uneasy for people i known it would be for me. Two people are gonna get more enraged if they are forced to take pee test and would want to go out of line at school. Also people that do drugs and are very addicted to there drug of choice will wanna pick drugs over that sport. To be honest that is a bad idea because that sport could have kept him off of those drugs during the season which is a good thing. Fourth if people are forced to do drug test than those people that are not doing drug and also the people that are going to be mad because they have to take a pee test in front of another person which is just annoying.

speech code on campus

From reading the article "speech code on campus." I believe that there should be one becauses student should not have the rights to harries black people by pretending to be KKK member. The people involved were white and pretend to be black; they also were pretending to hang them selfless well they were painted the colored blacks. I also though it was very offensive to black people, they should serially get over racism, are skin is the same, they just have a darker skin pigmentation. This kind of behavior on school grounds should not be tolerated there student should and will get punished for it. This is very insulting to other student ands and just inappropriate. This kind of foolishness should have a end to it and it will sooner or later. Saint x schools speach code is that they are againist rasims, anti millatary comments, and hate crimes. this speech code does not impact me becuase i am not recist so i should be fine. this speech codes doesnt change my views at all on the school, and i also do believe that the speech code is legal becuase if there was no speech code there would be hate crimes. My school would punish the people involed in the activity that were preformed in the article because they are very strict on hate crimes. Me myslef i agree with my schools dissecion.

911 security rises in New York

As you all know today is the tenth anniversary of 911. How i felt of the 911 film we watched in class isn't even describable. The film really shocked me i never knew how bad 911 truly was in tell i saw that documentary. I felt that the people that lived in the state of New York that they most have been so terrified of this happening again. I truly have no idea how New York rebuild not only the city but the community. Those fire man were so brave i will thank them ever day for being so brave.

The article i read for the recent news on 911 was the high security today in New York city. Information considered credible but unconfirmed indicated up to three attackers could be trying to use an explosive vehicle for an attack in New York according to various sources. This was not credible i think because nothing has happened yet and it is almost 9pm. 911 truly messed up are country and put people in the state of fear. We went of a hunch because we don't want anything like 911 to happen again and we don't want to risk it. It has damage are country so bad that we would do anything stop something like this ever happening again which is a good thing. You can even tell from this article that the community and the nation has not yet been fixed from the horrors of 911 because everyone is still in shock and afraid.

well i was affected by 911 in not a personal way because i didn't have any family get hurt or be near those towers. The way i was affected was by the emotional stress of hearing how many people died and how are national security was insulted fear and how we will never be the same ass we were ten years ago. Are security has not only raised in airports but in the city's to because we still never know if another big event will happen like that again. All are community's i fell are still on edge form what happen. I just truly cant wait in tell we recover this horrible event.

experience of freedom of speech taken away

One experience that i had that took away my freedom of speech in school which is completely not fare is that i yelled f**k in school. The reason for my behavior was because i crashed into a teachers car and i was very angry with my self. For yelling that bad world i got two six hour Saturdays which i felt was a huge chunk of my freedom of speech taken away.

should students have more freedom of speech in school

             I personal believe we should be able to be protect any were by are amendments. Because of are constitution i think it ok to say what ever we want when ever we want, and if were not aloud i feel like that's taking away are right as a human. People may disagree with my thoughts but  what I'm saying is the truth. I mean if we are on someones property like for example the schools i feel we should we aloud to use are freedom of speech because we should be aloud to say whats on are mind with out getting in trouble; but i do agree that maybe if your in court its not the right thing to cuse out your Jude because he gave you a bad verdict.

          Another topic i would like to touch since we were on the subject of amendments, is getting searched in school. I believe that the school has every right to search use because we are on there "property" but i believe before they do so they should have evidence which is probable cause and we should be aloud to a have a consul appear on the since. I personal don't think the school or an other place has the right to tell use not to be able to use are amendment when we want and were we want. That's what the four fathers wanted in the contutusion so that's how its gonna stay and no one can change it an less they wanna change are whole government structure.
