It has been three weeks sense the incident where the White House kidnapping occurred. The First Lady is still being held hostage; hopefully she is not dead. This, in my opinion, is absolutely ridiculous that they think their only solution was to kidnap the First Lady! After that monstrosity, the people of North Carolina decided to rise and make a group against the BBCF (Bring Back Communication for the Future). Boy, did they make tensions increase! Instead of people striking outside of the Governor’s house, they were trying to break into his house to persuade him to join the group trying to get rid of the BBCF. The governor made no appearance. Actually, they had no clue if he was even at his house. Currently, things are getting worse for the teenagers who are undecided about joining the BBCF. The ones who joined the group have left their parents and were told to never return to them. On the other hand, if you don’t join, any friends of yours basically will shun you or kill you. Apparently, to be initiated into the BBCF, you have to go …show more content…
The letter was now written for specifically my sister and I. The leader of opposing government group, Harry Grey, threatened us to join or die. My sister was afraid of him and went right away. From what’s been said, Harry grey is supposed to be very mean and demanding. My sister began packing and took her phone and her computer, that’s it. If I weren’t there, she wouldn’t have had her medication in her bag. Apparently in the letter written to my sister and I, we are told to bring only things that dealt with technology. Technology is obviously what they care for most; not clothes, blankets, food, shelter. My parents were out at the other group opposing the BBCF meeting. That group was the LLFG (Living Life Freely Group). Everyone had an idea of where they stood but I. With what seemed like hours of consideration, I committed to being neutral because none of the groups can either like me or hate
Republicans made a last attempt to embed Negro freedom in federal law; they tried but failed to strengthen. On March 31, after many disputes and bloodshed between Democrats and Republicans, whites and Negroes, the Supreme Court sat down to hear the Colfax case. Attorney General George Williams would argue the Colfax case, he promised “he was not going to lose this case without showing the court what he could do…he wasn’t going to lose it without a fight.” Williams reminded the court of the massacre that happened in Colfax and that though Beckwith’s indictment was imperfect it was valid. Williams had to demonstrate that the constitution authorized congress to enact section 6 of the Enforcement Act, which protects whites and blacks voters from conspiracies. Williams made sure to remind the court million of people’s lives depended on the case and if they decided in favor of this law it will do a lot to bring peace and quiet to the south. But when the Supreme Court finally reached a conclusion, they were unanimous in the decision that Beckwith’s indictments were fatally flawed. Chief Justice Waite in his draft dismissed every count and not one mentioned the massacre in it. It broke whatever force the Enforcement Act
In today’s world, one could figuratively say that it takes an act of congress for the president to go anywhere. Today the secret service is highly trained to keep the president safe from any possible threat, but the level of security for the 20th president was nowhere near where it is for the 45th president. In the 1880’s, the president was looked at as “one of the people”, so security was not considered to be as important as it is today. This proves to be evident in chapters 10 and 11 when the shooting takes
During an interview of three family members, I was able to learn more information about the events of 9/11. My mom, Jamie Goldman, was the first person I interviewed. She told me she was helping a friend with her new business in Aiken, SC. She first heard on the radio, breaking news, that a plane had flown into one of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center. Her first thought was that a plane had crashed accidentally. As the day went on, she learned of even more horrible acts against our country, and then realized our Nation was under attack from terrorist. My mom was heartbroken, scared, sad, and mad all at the same time. She struggles with forgiving the terrorist but knows that God would want her to forgive them. The song "God Bless the USA" is a song that helps my mom cope with the events of 9/11. My mom did not know anyone personally that was killed or injured on 9/11. She said, "after 9/11, our country has been a country at war. We have stopped loving our neighbors and instead, started judging them."

When you have to read this letter I hope you realize that I died fighting for our families rights. I wanted very badly to be free from Britain's power. As you go on in life, make sure you remember to advocate for yourself and do what is right for your people. Do not let my death be in vain. Work hard in life for what you want.

We have heard a lot about criminals who have gotten shot by the police, but we haven’t heard of a case where police officer killed innocent man to death, except in the case of Eric Garner. Eric Garner’s case sparked about institutional racism in America’s criminal justice system because he was killed for minor crime and the grand jury didn’t indict the officer.

The outcome was one that shook the world no left a mark on all involved. No one expected the carpenter from Germany to commit a crime as big as kidnapping the Lindbergh baby. getting caught and sentenced to death was only the beginning.
Governor Riley and his staff took the right course of action to address the tragedy that surfaced from the death of Mr. Mickey McClinton. He and his staff were able to effectively accommodate the request to meet the needs of the protesters by diverting a crisis from happening which could have great political implications not only for the State of South Carolina but could have ruined his political legacy as governor. Nevertheless, this situation could also have great repercussion for public safety had the protesters demands been ignored and it could have erupted into violence and chaos. On the other hand, the governor’s strategic and political maneuvers will also allow his office to address the Chester Movement for Justice's concerns including those had absolutely no connection to the death of Mr. McClinton. There are always certain risks involved if direct action is not taken the time to be address certain matters promptly. Nevertheless, personally agreeing to meet with the leaders and organizers of the protest allows the governor to accept responsibility as the head of state of the State South Carolina by taking an assertive twist and approach to this matter.

Boot camps for teenagers have become a popular disciplinary option for parents with adolescent children. Often recommended by counselors or by state justice systems as an alternative to juvenile detention centers, the boot camps are rigid military environments. Some are wilderness camps that teach young people survival skills in a military-like setting, while others are held closer to home. Many are state-run in conjunction with the justice system but many are also privately owned and operated. The boot camps have come under intense scrutiny because of suspicions of abuse and because dozens of teenagers have died of preventable causes at the camps. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) denounced adolescent boot camps because of the problems associated with them and because boot camps are generally unregulated and unsupervised by external inspectors. Unlike the boot camps for adults who consciously enroll in the military, teenage boot camps are highly problematic and ineffective in achieving their goals.
The case against Bruno Hauptmann for kidnapping the Lindbergh baby in 1935 was known as “the crime of the century.” The Lindbergh Kidnapping was a case where the son Charles Lindbergh, a 20-month-old-baby, was kidnapped from his crib about 9 p.m. in March. The Lindbergh case is well known due to the media attention that it received during the case. Hauptmann was the suspect that paid the price for the crime and died from the electrical chair. In the 1933 controversial court case of the Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping, the guilty verdict correctly prosecuted Bruno Hauptmann because of a criminal background, evidence, and witnesses.
In review, it is set to nudge young adults away from those peers engaging in deviant activities and influencing their deviant behavior. In theory, it will work by inducing activities between these individuals and non-deviant peers in the same age proximity. By doing this, those individuals who are use to engaging in deviant behaviors by “following the heard” or making a “default” choice will learn to stop engaging in these deviant behaviors by doing the same thing. Furthermore, they will also learn techniques in which they can redirect their thinking to make better decisions, and will be faced with a “fear” tactic to conform to non-deviant behavior. However, there are some ethical issues that would go along with the possibility of this program. The main ethical issue this program is facing is the implementation of the “fear” tactic. The idea behind this is to persuade individuals to conform to society with false information. Promoting false knowledge is not an acceptable way to help an individual and can cause an individual to have resentment to those giving this knowledge and lash out or rebellion and thus, engaging in more deviant activities than originally engaging in. Furthermore, there might also be concerns regarding the participation of non-deviant individuals. As young
