London Shooting Spree...cnn.com

A gunman in London, England had went on a shooting spree in popular tourists visiting areas and killed 12 people in a very short amount of time. When police investigated the shooting further they found the suspected gunman in a wooded area dead. The police believe that the gunman after the killings had committed suicide. I think that there has to be something very wrong with a person to want to kill so many and then take their own life.

Natalie Halloway story......five years later

As i Watched the movie of Natalie Holloway it upset me and angered me because i couldn't understand why someone would want to end the life of an all American girl that had a future as bright as the sun. To hear that the man that had ended her life was not able to be convicted because of the lack of evidence later put a stop to many peoples hopes that they would ever find her body and that the man would be brought to justice.
But now five years to the day that Natalie Holloway was not to come home, there was a girl, Stephany Flores, was found face down in a hotel room dead. The last person to be with her was Joran van der Sloot, the man that was also last seen five years ago with Natalie Holloway.
To me this is concerning and unacceptable. i believe that this man should be convicted for what he has done and should be made realize the pain that he has put the family members of these poor girls through. This man should be put behind bars for the rest of his life in my opinion.

MTV True life

This video helped me see how similar that the Saudi Arabian people are to us in the United States. I feel that this video could change the way all people in the US see people from Saudi Arabia. The video i know opened my eyes to what others do and enjoy from other countries. It also showed me how lucky we women in the United States take our freedoms for granted. I think that this video should be shown at some point in school to students because it can teach them many different things that they may not have ever thought others would relate to them.

Oil Spill update 2

Today now the oil spills are becoming more unruly. While two weeks ago the people trying to fix the spill were predicting that it will end soon, they now see it becoming a larger problem that we don't know what to do about it. I know that many people are wondering how we are going to fix this problem but i don't see us finding a fix anytime to soon. I think that if we do find a fix to this oil spill problem that many people come to realization that they have to also help in some way to stop and prevent it from happening again.

Sinkhole

Recently in Guatemala there was a massive sinkhole that has opened due to the tropical storm that hit Central America. This natural disaster is one that not many people imagine happening. The sinkhole though is only one natural disaster that is effecting our world today.

Arizona police get killed on chase

Today in class we were talking about the latest news and one of my fellow students had brought up a shooting in Arizona that killed two policemen. The police were chasing after a vehicle that was involved in a drug operation and when the policemen got out of the car the suspects got out and shot both, killing them. The vehicle was then followed by helicopter and more police. When the vehicle finally pulled over the suspects got out and the other policemen shot them and they were also killed along with the police they had shot earlier in the event. This had involved two cops in separate cop cars, the suspects and then many other policemen later in the event.

Oil spills**

Today the oil spills have had a very big impact on the world and our oceans. Just recently the workers of the oil spills have gotten it somewhat under control. The news have had a large part in keeping the people informed. The oil spills have also effected the animals that live in the oceans. I think that what we are doing to prevent the oil form spilling over more of the oceans. Now we have plugged the oil pipes with other tubes that have been collecting the oil and preventing it from spreading more.
