This week I read and saw a video of a man putting a baby boy in a washer machine. This article is about how a man in a laundromat puts a child in the washer machine. It was meant to be playful but the door on the washer machine locked and the cycle started. The lady flipped the circuit breakers and the machine stopped.The video was uploaded and went viral on the internet. The prosecutor is calling the man an acquaintance of the woman who was watching one-year-old Samier Bush. His mother was not informed about the incident at the laundry mat. She had to find out while watching the evening news. She called the baby-sitter about the incident. The baby-sitter denied that, that was her on the video tape. Then, the police contacted the little boy mom, Sakia David, and she found out that the baby-sitter had lied to her about not being on the video tape. Sakia told the police she did not know anything about the incident until she watched TV. I think this is just crazy. Who puts a baby in a washer machine in the first place? How couldn't the man see that he put a bay in there. I think that the man did put the baby in the washer machine a purpose. I think he put him in there on purpose in the video you can see that the baby was standing up. That is the most craziest thing ever. It's a good thing that lady will not be watching her son anymore. He was in danger being babysat by her."Camden County prosecutors do not expect to file any charges." That sentence right there is so not right. Why? This takes us back to what I stated before, who puts a baby into the washer machine. That is just crazy in the first place. That man and that women need to go to some kind of counseling on how to take care of a child or something similar that is very similar to that. This is what I think about one of the craziest tragedies ever.

Broadcasting Whiteness

This week we have  read an article called Broadcasting Whitness its about a show that just had a cast with white ethnic girls and it has gotten a lot of views but the media feels as though that all people need to be in a show like African American, Chinese, and Latin. "Girls"is an example of not having enough of diverse shows. Thinking it's going on on all of the shows except BET and Centric. This article points out that other shows like "Two and a Half Men" and "How I Met Your Mother" are just as diverse like "Girls." The show is about 6 white women struggle and how they try to go through life figuring out how there going to move forward. As the show came on tv the media seen that the show only had caucasian people on it. The media didn't like that it was only caucasian people on the show. They thought that it shouldn't be a caucasian show, it should be for all races. I think the show should have other races in it. I think it show have other races in it because to me it shows a little racism. A show with just one race seems a little suspect, but a show that has other races in it shows that it's not racist and all races can communicate with it. I also think that the show shouldn't be on air. I think it shouldn't be on air because this show can offend a lot of people aren't caucasian and also some caucasians that think it should have other races on it. This is what I think about the new show "Girls."

Gun Fashion

This blog is about gun fashion and how they are making special for people to put their guns or other weapons. A Woolrich 182-year-old clothing company created clothes to make it easier for people who is license to carry a gun, hide the gun just someone wouldn't know that you have it. The company created Chinos pants that are $65. The pants have regular pants pockets but behind the pockets it has an invisible pocket that you can put your gun in. The Chinos also have a waste band so that you can put the gun there to. The company also have shirts that they make to hide the guns. The shirt has a barely discernible side slit with Velcro through. The clothes also makes it easier for people to get the guns out faster. I Don't think Americans should be allowed to carry guns just because I think it would actually increase the rate of people getting killed a year than them not having a gun. I think if more people carry guns it would make the enviorment worst because some people would take an advantage of them carrying a gun and use that for bad on other people like car jacking and or maybe use it against women to do bad so I do think more people shouldn't be able to carry a gun. This is what I think about the gun fashion idea.

Heath Fair !!!

At Parkway West, we had a heath fair for the 9th and 10th graders. The people that were there gave out things that we could use to protect ourselves. They gave us condoms, lubrication, fruits, first aid kits, and also brochures for us to read so we can find out things about staying healthy, STD, drugs, being a teen parent, HIV, different illnesses, and just other things to keep us protected and safe. The people who were there told us how to stay protected and also about saying no to drugs. They told me that where they work they see a lot of teen mothers, children being taken from their parents, parents running away from their children, and even children being abused by their parents or guardians. Also, we had senior named Mattisse and talked to us about drugs, also he brung a guess speaker he also talked about drugs and how they can kill us. He just spoke about the bad affects of drugs even though it was okay at one time it still doesn't make him good. He said that the decisions you make would always affect you no matter what, and that the choices you make now will decide whether you get a job or not. He also made it clear to make our future the best and try to make it to the top and also don't let bad things get in our way. I have told you about what happened at our school Health Fair.

Women Losing Health Care in Texas

This article is about how health services are not the best, it talks about a clinic that closed in October along with over a dozen others in the state of texas. The financing for their health was cut by two thirds from the Republican-control Legislature. This act left many low-income women even more less of options, the inconvenience and cost is a problem too. Some of the clinics that were not affiliated to close and the ones run by Planned Parenthood said they were motivated by the fight against abortion. also, it is likely another shutdown will happen with the Medicine Women's Health Program. This clinic serves 130,000 women.  I think it's a bad thing that the clinics are getting shut down because of those reasons. There are a lot of women, young women at that are getting pregnant and they need the health care that they deserve. This should be somemthing that is changed, its putting a lot of people in a bad situation. Clinics should be always open for young women, because if they are not open there are going to be a lot of health problems. Health problems would be a major problem. If there is a stop towards these clinics not opening that would be much better. It would be much better because there would be less and less abortion problems in the world for women all ages or maybe not. I think that the closing of the clinics will get handled in a better way. This is what I think about women losing health care in Texas. 

Stop Kony

Stop Kony !!! This article is about a man named Joseph Kony in Uganda, Africa who has been abducting children and raping them. When Joseph Kony abducts the children he supplies them with weapons to kill their parents and other people. He has thousands of children in his army. Many kids cannot sleep at night because they're frighted by the fact they might get abducted. With this video they are trying to make it go viral, and basically make Joseph Kony famous. The mission in this video is to arrest him, and stop his wrong doings. In this video there was a boy Jacob who was a part of Kony's army, but he eventually escaped. Jacob was crying in the video because his brother was killed by rebels. Now Jacob has finally made it to the U.S, and is safe from the rebels. Now the only thing is to capture Kony, and the only way to do so is to make everyone know about him by spreading him around. At first Jason Russell had proposed the idea of capturing Kony to the people in the white house, but he was rejected because Africa had nothing to do with the United States of America. After he failed the first time he tried again, and that was when Barrack Obama agreed to help capture him. Obama sent some troops alongside with the Ugandan troops out in Africa. Until now Kony has not yet been found, but there is speculation that he is no longer in Uganda because he is aware of the search being done; He has fled to another country in Africa.

Dirt Bike Tradegy

Jermaine Alexander was killed when his dirt bike collided with another vehicle on Frankford Ave. His mother thinks he died because the police were chasing him. Jermaine’s mother is very angry about how the cops were chasing after her kid, but there are other kids out there doing things that are worse than what her child was doing. The captain of the 25^th district says that when he goes to meetings the number one complaint is the noise of dirbikes. I think dirt bikes are very dangerous. They will always be very dangerous. He shouldn’t have been riding it in the street. If he was never riding it in the street he would have never got hit and he would probably still be alive today. There are public field where he can go and ride around. Somewhere safe, somewhere he most likely will not collide with another vehicle. If he was riding in a field, the cops would not have to chase him. People are still going to ride the dirt bikes, even if it is illegal. They just don’t care. This incident should be an example to what could happen to other people who ride dirt bikes where they are not suppose to be ridden. Also, if they know that the people are not going to stop, they should give them a place where they can come in and ride dirt bikes without having to worry about getting run down by the cops, instead of taking them from people and auctioning them.This is what I think about the killing of Jermaine Alexander.
