Police chief's son gets six years in fatal hit-and-run

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/01/30/internet.sentence/index.html?iref=allsearch

 A Chinese man who killed a college student while driving drunk and then tried to use his father's name as a police official to escape punishment was sentenced to six years' in jail on Sunday. According to witnesses, he shouted at authorities: "Sue me if you dare! My father is Li Gang!" On the enternet many bloggers say that he derserves worse. I agree with the general people's opinion because this guy thinks that he can get away from being punished for using his father's name in vain. I chose this because this week, the school was stressing how drunk driving is 100% avoidable if we make the right choices. I guess the moral to this is, life is precious and should be cherished.

Mexico finds more bodies in mass graves, blames the Zetas

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/americas/04/12/mexico.mass.graves/index.html?iref=allsearch

Mexican authority has found 116 bodies in the northern border state of Tamaulipas. 17 suspects have been detained in connection with the killings, which were likely the responsibility of the Zetas drug cartel. They suspect that the victims are kidnapped from buses, which led them to San Fernando, Tamaulipas. Tamaulipas is one of Mexico's most active states when it comes to drug trafficking. Nationwide, the Mexican government says there have been some 35,000 drug-related deaths since President Felipe Calderon began a crackdown on the cartels in December 2006. Connecting this to the issue of immigration, that if we do allow immigration to continue, we bring harm such as this into America.

U.S. appeals court OKs decision blocking Arizona immigration law

http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/04/11/arizona.immigration/index.html?iref=allsearch

 There is a controversial issue dealing with immigration when Jan Brewer, who signed the measure known as SB 1070 into law last year. This legislation would have required local law enforcement in Arizona to apprehend and help deport illegal immigrants. The Obama administration sued, arguing that only the federal government has that authority. Now local police officers should check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws. "For decades, the federal government has neglected its constitutional duty to American citizens by failing to secure the border," said Brewer. I think that there should be more inforced law on immigration because it is affecting Americans that are paying taxes.

7 arrested after blocking traffic to raise immigration awareness

http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/04/05/georgia.arrests.immigrants/index.html?iref=allsearch#

Seven students were arrested today because they did a sit-in on the Atlanta intersection to raise awareness of immigration. The seven were arrested near Georgia State University. They were protesting for the right's guareenteed by the Dream Act, which says kids who were immigrants here at an young age, has an opportunity to earn citizenship despite their family's immigration status. The Dream Act was denied though in
December 2010. Georgia's public colleges have adopted policies that officials say will prevent illegal immigrants from attending five high-demand schools and from being admitted ahead of legally and academically qualified residents at the rest of the state's public institutions of higher learning. According to recent census data, Hspanics now account for nearly one-quarter of children under the age of 18. I find that fact as a real eye opener of how America has become due to immigration. A fourth is a huge percentage in population. I think that the students should be allowed to protest as long as they don't harm anyone doing it.

Japan dumps thousands of tons of radioactive water into sea

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/04/04/japan.nuclear.reactors/index.html#

Japan dumped radioactive water into pacific ocean on monday. 11,500 tons of radioactive water that has collected at the nuclear facility will be dumped into the sea. The dumping of so much radioactive water into the ocean conjures up fears of mutated sea life and contamination of the human food chain, but experts said the radiation will be quickly diluted, minimizing risk. It's a considerable amount of water, but the immensity of the Pacific Ocean will quickly dilute this amount of water to harmless levels.

Buzzer Beater - Basketball Celebration Fail

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4G19sw5yLM

This is a youtube video of two college basketball team playing and one of the team made a buzzer shot with a second left in the fourth quarter and began celebrating too early. Apperently, while the team and the crowd was celebrating, the opposite team checked the ball in quickly and made a half court shot. So the opposing team won instead. I chose this video because I thought it was hilarious and one of the most ridiculious things I have seen.
