ReplyDeleteDzhokhar Tsarnaev Given Death Penalty in Boston Marathon Bombing
ReplyDeleteMAY 15, 2015
The Jury on Friday sentanced Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death for his role in the 2013 attack. The worst terrorist attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001. Three people were killed, and 17 people lost at least one leg. He was also involved in that. His older brother Mr. Tsarnaev’s was also leading him to do these dangerous things. Many people who was in the court room where hurt during 9/11 and wanted this man to get sentenced to life. They beg for justice and they got it. Many of the jurors looked very emotionally after the sentence was read. Some of was even crying. I feel like the jury did the right thing. Even though this should've been done, it got done. This was my first time actually reading about this. It was very interesting, and I learned alot about it. It made me sick reading this, all the lives this man took.It's very sad and im sure everyone is happy about the outcome.

Article title: Pizza led D.C. police to name suspect in quadruple homicide
ReplyDeleteArticle date: May 21, 2015
Summary: Last week inside of DC there was a quadruple homicide, inside of a Manson. The report says that a local Dominos delivered pizza to the house while the hostages where inside. The delivery man was not allowed to see the people inside, as he delivered the food there was money for it left on the porch. The people were investigating this crime very well, but they were not getting a lead. All of a sudden they found the pizza box and crust in the place, and they saw that the crust had DNA on it. The crust lead to their killer.
My reaction towards this is that this is the smartest thing ever. No one would really think to use the crust that he had use because it could be anyone's fingerprints on there. Also it's amusing that the killer did not put his stuff away or even clean up the place well. My opinion is that the DC deceive are very smart and well trained. I chose this article because it shows how smart our law force is.

ReplyDeleteSix Words the White House Regrets About Its ISIS Strategy
In recent issues with the problems on ISIS unfold, President Obama has taken questions from the general public. In taking this action it is only natural for people to be concerned on what is happening and the president's plans/ actions on what he should do about the problems should be revealed. When the questioned was asked to the surprise of the people the president had responded with the words, “We do not have a plan yet”. As many people know hearing this type of answer from the president is not in their best interest now he and his team face a heavy burden of regret. In the face of the problem people from Obama’s team came out to assure the reporters that the strategy that was made has been a setback, but he and his people are doing he their jobs to the utmost possible way to reevaluate the successful outcomes and change the unsuccessful outcomes to where they benefit United States.
In my opinion on what has occurred I think that it is normal for that type of answer. Basically he told the blatant truth that a plan had not been able to keep to problems in Syria at ease. I believe withholding this information from the public was President Barack’s true intentions, and lastly I think that he was feeling the most upset about what happened because he had proposed this plan that was thought to be able to handle and settle all the problems that were going on with the wars. I do feel that more problems of course will arise because people take the information the wrong way and the way the news media relays that information is not always the correct way. This is one of the reasons I would prefer not to run for president because one wrong step and every effort made by your good intentions will be questioned.
