Citizens Watching For Racial Profiling

The men and women of Phoenix, Arizona are on a hot pursuit with the Arizona state police. Recently, a bill was made law that officers were given the ability to ask for legal paperwork to determine whether or not a person was a legal citizen of the United States. Margarito Blanco has been following police officers with a video camera and paperwork to catch officers racial profiling. There are many opinions about this certain subject.

My opinion on this is straight forward. I believe that what this bill does is right. Arizona is losing billions and billions of dollars to pay for medical expenses for "citizens" that are really in fact illegal immigrants. Without this bill, the illegal immigrants will come straight into Arizona and find a place to live off of our taxpayers. The thing is, some Hispanic citizens are outraged by this. They believe this causes for racial profiling but what the state needs is to deport the illegal immigrants.

Car Bomb in NYC

Recently, a plot to bomb New York City was disrupted after bystanders and vendors that noticed something odd about the car. On Saturday night, many streets were evacuated on what they thought of was a bomb scare. They were correct. The FBI, NYPD, and bomb squad were called in to figure out what was going on. Inside the crowded backseat and trunk were three propane tanks, M-80 firecrackers, standard fertilizer, glass shards, and an alarm clock. Thankfully it did not detonate and everything was taken car of. Fasal Shahzad, 30, was later arrested at J.F.K. airport as he was on his way to Pakistan.

The part that really gets me is the credit that they go to. The plot wasn't uncovered by the police, FBI, or any government agency. It was uncovered by normal everyday people who were working at their jobs. A vendor selling merchandise. These are the people that deserve the credit for disrupting this plot. They are the heros. Sure, the NYPD and other officials deserve some credit. They knew what they were putting themselves into. And that was a terrorist situation.

Ukranian Fight

Earlier this evening, a Ukranian fight broke out inside the Parliament House. It broke out because of a controversial bill that was signed by the President. Not only were punches being thrown, but so were eggs. Even a smoke bomb was set off on the inside of the House to obscure sight. Still, despite the uproar and fighting that occured, the bill still passed by around 9 extra votes.

I think that because of this happening, things should be much more limited. It shows how unstable parts of the government are and what they are incapable of doing. Although it was to secure ties with neighboring countries, it caused uproars in most parts. Hopefully somthing such as this will be sorted out very quickly.

Nadya Suleman

A single mother is a hard thing to manage. You have to pay for food, education, and babysitting. For Nadya Suleman, a mother of 14 children, she has practically sold her privacy to have a better income. Recently, she was in a photo shoot for "Star Magazine" where she was payed $100,000. Even with the help of extra money and "aunts" to help her, she is still quite busy and always has her mind on her children.

I believe that right now, the extra money she recieved from the photo shoot helped. She needs extra money as she can't exactly provide and she doesn't have a full-time job. What other companies are doing with this is quite astonishing. They realize that she needs help, but they only way the camera-crew will do that is if they follow their lives daily.

Kyrgyz President Resigns

The Kyrgyz President has resigned and eventually left the country. There has been civil unrest from the prices the citizens are needed to pay as the president sold away some companies to his friends. He has lately resigned due to this and hoping that the unrest will stop. Kurmanbek Bakiev has even left the country to be as far away from the civil unrest so he is not injured and that his safety is brought back to the people of his country.

In my opinion, I believe what the president of Kyrgyzstan is a coward. He has left the people he once led in a hole. Civil unrest is abundant, but he needs to control that. How can he control it if he leaves the country over to Kazakhstan? He can't and that is why I believe it is foolish and makes him look like a coward.

U.S. Terrorist

A Pennsylvania women known as Jihad Jane has tried to connect with the Jihad and perform terrorist acts. One such act was to kill a Swedish citizen very cruely and in such an inhumane way that the world may be frightened. She has since been arrested and is now in prison, but trial still stands. There is already debate of how terrorists should be tried that are from foreign countries. Now a debate will start inside the country. Should this woman recieve a U.S. Citizen trial, or a Military Tribunal?

In my opinion, I believe that the lady, Jihad Jane should be tried without a doubt. How she should be tried is the question. With evidence that supports what she was doing, connecting with terrorists and the Jihad should mean a military tribunal. The punishments and consequences should be much harsher than that of the citizens court.

Washington Letter Sells For $3.2M

Just recently, a letter from George Washington was sold for $3.2 million! At first the letter was estimated to sell for $2.5M but then went much higher. Some controversy is that this letter a letter from the first American President, George Washington, should not be auctioned off. It should be kept in a safe and historical museum per se. The bidder that purchased the item did not give his name, mainly because of some controversy.
