Law Punishes Parents and Babysitter
I had been browsing on here for a while and I thought it would be a good idea to share a personal story. A bit of a disclaimer: though I remember parts of the experience, there are parts of it that were a complete blur to me, so please be patient.

Traffic Ticket and Traffic Laws: A Closer Look
Violation of traffic laws and receiving a traffic ticket has become a day to day phenomenon for a regular driver. We have become so habituated to the present traffic regulation that we hardly pay heed to what lies in the more in-depth segment. Traffic Violation is the most common offence, people commit against the state as described by traffic violation lawyers. It not only shows their lackadaisical approach towards the sanctity of the law but also their reckless behaviour towards their lot.

Reason First: Can Rationality Prevent Murder?
In the amount of time that it took to stab his girlfriend to death, Rondell Veal could have talked out his emotions. Instead of killing her, he could have employed reason and allowed those feelings to take a backseat. Sadly, none of this happened. Veal’s sentencing of 33 years in prison after serving two years already due to the 2017 homicide of Sherrie Campbell seems to be light. What could’ve prevented this first murder in three years in the city of Newark, Delaware? (A 2014 botched robbery saw the slaying of Marcus Johnson.) The application of logic and the understanding of safeguarding human life and actually thinking before one acts would have been the keys to a more conducive interaction.

Killer Company (Part Two)
Eulea Parot lived in Florence County, South Carolina when she gave birth to the youngest in a string of five illegitimate children. Donald Henry "Pee Wee" Gaskins entered the world March 31, 1933, to a mother that barely noticed his birth. At the tender age of just one year, while left unattended, Gaskins drank a bottle of kerosene. This caused severe seizures until he was three years old. His mother brought men in and out of her house, paying little attention to the treatment her children received by the men. Donald, because of his small stature and big attitude, was often the target of the beatings around the house. Gaskins attended school until he tired of the daily beatings by his peers and the castigation of his teachers at the age of 11, when he dropped out in favor of working a full day at a local auto repair garage.

Good Conscience

I lost my job three months after my arrest and background checks have haunted me since.

Killer Company, Part One
Killer Company, Part One Andrei Chikatilo Ukranian cannibal, Andrei Chikatilo. Andrei Chikatilo was born in 1936 in the village of Yablochnoye in Ukraine to an absent father and a brutal, domineering mother. His mother claimed he had an older brother that was stolen and subsequently eaten by neighbors, a tale that wasn't hard to believe as Andrei was born during the agricultural recession to farmer parents. His young life was brutal, with his mother often reminding him of what happened to his brother. School was not easy for Andrei either. He was a small child and much weaker than his peers. After his father committed the unforgivable sin of being taken hostage as a prisoner of war during World War II, the schoolchildren found Andrei's father to be a traitor instead of a victim, and they punished Andrei for it every chance they got. Even through all the bullying at school and horrendous conditions, he lived inside his parents ramshackle shanty, and Chikatilo was an exceptional student and maintained high grades.

Talking Star: 'Are Black People Really on Code?'
Mr. Torain is an informant. He tells. He’s a snitch. And this is meant in the best way. Star testifies that he got caught lacking and that a young lady may be on Instagram with a photo of her and Star in the bed. Mr. Torain then switches lanes and talks about the judge hugging Guyger and giving her a Bible. Next, Star breaks down how there’s a difference between bleach blonde and natural. White women who have naturally blonde hair want the “goddess look.” Bleach blondes are just reaching. Then, Star delineates the question of the show concerning blacks being on code or within a collective, advancing in society. He ponders whether as a group, blacks can better themselves in the context of the “greater good.”
