Re: Week nine; Lourdes Rodriguez. October 28-November 3, 2013.

Hello everyone! Welcome to week nine of the blogs!!!!
A South Texas convenience store owner was arrested on September 29, 2013.  According to authorities, a 39 year old man came into the store in an attempt to steal a case of beer before fleeing. However, Rodney James Duve, the store owner, shot and killed the man before he could get away with his beer.
So 52 year old Duve was arrested at the store and the suspect was taken to the hospital but later pronounced dead. Do you believe that Rodney Duve’s actions were reasonable why/why not?  Do you believe Duve was protecting himself why/why not?

Re: Week eight; Marisol Zaragoza. October 21-27, 2013. Hello everyone, I would like to bring your attention to a headline that I am still trying to conceptualize; how did an inmate create a shank from a comb? Nonetheless, on September 9th, 2013, Abraham Pearson also known as Derrick White escaped from the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice; he used a comb fashioned into a shank to stab a deputy multiple times in the neck. After he stabbed the deputy, he took the deputy’s clothes and keys and escaped using the prisoner elevator. It was noted Pearson was scheduled to be sentenced in Wayne County Circuit Court to serve a possible 15 years in prison for carjacking and robbery against a fifty year old female. What measures do you think could have been implemented to prevent escape such as this incident? Additionally, what do you think would be a reasonable sentence for Pearson? http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/09/09/michigan-prisoner-escape/2786111/

Re: Week seven; Franciso Reyes. October 15-20, 1013.

Hello everyone! I am shocked to hear that a lady allegedly disguised herself and proceeded to murder several bus drivers in Ciudad Juarez approximately a month earlier. A woman wearing a blond wig or maybe her hair was dyed boarded one of the school bus style vehicles which serve as transport in Ciudad Juarez for the citizens. Hence, she would approach various bus drivers the driver and reached for her pistol and shoot the drivers in the head and leave abruptly. The next day, apparently the same women did exactly the same thing to another driver on the same route. Media outlets began receiving emails from the address “Diana the hunter of bus drivers “this is what she said "We seem weak to society, but we're truly not. We're courageous and, if they don't show respect to us, we will make them respect us by our own means. We women of Juarez are strong." Additional information which was not noted previously; she reportedly says in the e-mails that her motive is retaliation against bus drivers who have raped vulnerable women, especially those who work in the "maquiladoras," or foreign assembly plants (mainly American) on the Mexican side of the border. Also, Juanita did a marvelous job as she noted the following... Thanks Juanita for the clarification. Actually, Fransisco didn't mention this, but the reason why she keeps killing this bus drivers is because they had previously rapped women. And they had gone unpunished for their crimes. But since this was not mentioned i get why you would think this way. Do you think she did the right thing of killing these bus drivers? What is your perspective regarding this incident as well as the email she sent to the police officer?

Hello everyone, welcome to week six. As it relates to International Adoption Services most families are clueless as it relates to the extensive work involved when adopting and raising children that have been assigned to this agency. In fact, it has been noted a lot of families feel hopeless as it relates to providing for the children, so they result to tactics which encompasses visiting an underground chat room to give their children away to strangers and in most cases child predators. From my perspective, I believe American families should not be adopting International children without a background check. Additionally, it has been noted orphans like Nora Gateley are treated harshly e.g. “digging their own graves”. Do you believe in proposing and implementing laws which would be stricter when it pertains to adopting children? Should the American government prohibit citizens from adopting children that are not from our particular country? http://investigations.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/09/10/20390206-unwanted-adopted-children-traded-online-in-underground-network?lite
