In the article Abuse argument doesn't fly It talks about this guy who killed four people and he is trying to get less time in jail by syaing he was abused as a child. I think this is stupid because even if he was abused it doesn't give im the right to kill people.

In the article Cops seek man, van in attempted kidnapping of boy the article talks about how a man tried to kidnap a 10 year old boy. What matters in this article is trying to be safe when you are traveling from one place to another. The 10 year old was walking to school when a van pulled up and the man tried to get him into it. The boy refused to get in and the man tried to grab him, but the boy managed to get away and run to school. I think that this happens way too often and that people who try to do this are sick. I think that the boy should walk with someone or be driven to school from now on.

The article talks about an 18-year veteran of the Aspen Police Department who showed up to work and got fired. I don't understand why the cop would just throw his life away and lose his job.

In the article HARD AT WORK by the Nata village blog, it talks about how children have to start working at a young age so they will be working the rest of their life and they will be good at it. This matters to me because children in America can take their lives for granted. Some kids complain when they have to do chores, but in Botswana kids have to do things such as collecting water from the stand pipe to mix with sand and making mud bricks for their adobe homes.

In the article 400 arrested during Halloween weekend by the Rocky Mountain News, it talks about how people were arrested on the Halloween weekend for driving under the influence. It also say that at least four people were killed and the accidents involved alcohol. This matters to me because I like to have fun on Halloween, but I also like to stay safe. I think people should enjoy themselves, but they should try to stay safe by having a designated driver or not driving if they are drunk.
