According to Lt. Donnie Lowe has gotten arrested by the Seattle police offers into the county jail this past Saturday night. It was because of an domestic violence call up in south Seattle, adding on to that there was possible charges for many assaults. Unfortunately, this was not his (Lowe) first time getting in trouble with the law Times reported. The reason for Lowe going to jail that Saturday night was from an argument he had with his wife. The argument was about their son, the argument had then reached another level. Donnie pushed his wife causing her to hit the wall and moments later slapped her in her face. Chief john Diaz has asked another one of the law enforcement agencies to conduct the investigation. Lowe whom served as a team leader from the section leader departments of 20/20 vision initiative. I think this is one of those situations that are already known about. In a lot of situations married couples have their times when they go through ups and downs. I also think that Donnie should have handled the whole situation in a whole different way. In situations people usually think before they react, but this was not the case this was one of those times where he acted before he fully thought it out. He should have talked the situation out so that both him and his wife could then understand both sides of the story without any confusion and violence.

Getting angry can be a good thing .
in 1980 Cecilia Munoz was 17 . she says this is when she first discovered her outrage of anger. it all started when her and her family were at dinner talking about wars going on in central america and the involvement of the united states. a good friend said someday the U.S. might go to war somewhere in Latin America. he says he believes that if this happens he believes her parents belong n an internment camp just like the Japanese-American during world war II. Cecilia always considered herself and her family an american family. she and friends always were doubted whether they belong in their country. her fuel of anger led her to start the propellant of her life, she got into the civil rights movement where she has worked since. her outrage actually helped her find jobs. she found them in the immigrant rights movement. in washington she worked as an advocate. in some cases her anger would sometimes not benefit her in a good way. she said that of she helped 50 immigrant families in a day, there were faces of 5 not qualifying and that would haunt her at night. i think the fact that cecilia had anger inside and cared about what he man said helped her. sometimes its better to let out anger because the more you hold i could hurt you inside. expressing feeling in my opinion is the right thing to do, and you should feel better after you do it. cecilia is a person that can use her anger in a way that a lot of people can understand.

On Thursday May 3, 2012 we had career day at our school. there was an Attorney, tax business person, and a commercial banker. they all talked about how they got their job, and adding on the major parts of their career. the attorney was a women that goes by the name of Ms. singleton, she talked about how her job is to help people in criminal situation. in 11th grade she realized that she wanted to be a lawyer. doing her best not to give them the worst consequence possible. she talked about the different situations she was in, saying if they were easy or complicated to handle. the tax business person talked about how he owns his own tax business. he created his tax business 20 years ago, so 1992 would be the year he started. Mr Heigler is the commercial banker, he is the one who lone's people money. people like him give money to smaller business. they business that was given the money has to then pay them back, this is how commercial bankers get paid. if the smaller business doesn't pay them back, they take what ever they exchanged in collateral. all the people that came here to our school all interested me, they did because first off these are jobs that i really didn't care for or wanted to know about. the attorney caught my eye because she had stories that explained what kid of work she did everyday. her job is not easy at all. she has to make they right decision. the tax business person caught my eye because he accomplished something, and didn't even finish high school. the commercial banker caught my eye because there is not a lot of work to really do at his job. he goes to work on his time, he makes his own hours.

Afghan girls, scarred by acid.
in the article Afghan Girls, Scarred by Acid, Defy Terror, Embracing School, Author Dexter Filkins talks about girls in afghan that are be scarred with acid on their face just because they want an education, and would like to attend school like a normal child. Shamsia Husseini was on her way to school one morning when she first experienced scars from acid on her face. Because of this, as the days go on her vision gets blurry. this attack also harmed 14 others ( students and teachers ) by the men that were on motorcycles. Her parents wanted her to continue going to school. in November three men on motorcycles stayed around the school, they hit 11 girls and 4 teachers with spray bottles, squirt gun, and a jar. This was done by the Taliban, the fundamentalist movement. They are the ones that are battling the government and the American-led coalition. Banned from school was the most notorious symbols of their rules. people began to put of posters saying " don't let your child go to school ". Shortly students began to stop coming. the headmaster Mahmood Qadari took matters into his own hands. He called a meeting for all parents to some to the school, he wanted the parents to allow their children to come back to school. students started to show up, as it progressed things got better for Shamsia Husseini and students that attended the school. I think that this is something bad that was happening in Afghan, every child should be able to go to school without getting attacked. Shamsia Husseini is a brave girl, i say this because she wants to go to school and get an education. Her situation is something you couldn't overcome very easily. There should have been more protection, the men o the motorcycles should have been sent to jail.

George Zimmerman charged for Trayvon Martins arrest
for about a month Trayvon has been killed in his own neighborhood he cause of wearing a hoodie. in the article http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20120412_Martin_s_parents___We_wanted_an_arrest_.html Angela Corey announced that Zimmerman, 28, was charged with second-degree murder and taken into police custody. but a nations answers will have to wait. it has not been said where they are holding Zimmerman. one of the attorneys for Trayvon's family says " we are just now getting to first base. despite the lack of any new details, legal analysts were quick to speculate that the severity of the charge the maximum penalty is life in prison without possibility of parole. i think that the arrest should have been done a long time ago. Trayvon should have never been killed, he didn't do anything wrong. there was no crime done, so therefore he should't have been killed. the police don't understand how harsh this is to his parents. it seems to me that Trayvon wasn't a troubled child. he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. he man who killed him didn't have the right to do what he did. i think because of Trayvon's skin color had something to do with why the man killed him, he might have been a very racist person. i think that this is a crime that should be remembered, this is a crime that is an example of how bad the world is today. i know that Trayvon's parents are heart broken because that was their only child.

dirt bike tragedy
Jermaine Alexander died because of a dirt bike accident. as a young child his mother Sandra Howard-Witherspoon said, " when he was 5 he would ride his bicycle only if he had smashed tin cans in the wheels to mimic the dirt-bike growl". his uncle decided to take him to the park to teach him to ride the real thing. Jermaine was really obsessed with dirt bikes, he would run to the window to see who ever was riding down the street on one. He would even get different parts like junk scraps to put on dirt bikes that he had fixed up. then, on march 13, he and a friend went to borrow a dirt bike so they could return to their school at dismissal time to show off to their classmates. A boy named Eric Carter 15, who was riding with Alexander said cops in a marked police cruiser spotted them at Frankford and oxford and gave chase. the police said that there wasn't any chase. The boys then split up, after about a mile Alexander ended up on Frankford avenue at butler street he ran into a car that was turning in front of hi speeding bike. the bike shattered, and he died. According to the police department, it is illegal in Philadelphia to drive a four-wheeler or dirt bike on streets or parks, the say that its a no-pursuit policy for the vehicles saying that the dangers of a chase out weight the offense. i think that cops shouldn't want to chase a kid that is on a dirt bike or a four-wheeler. its much more things that they should be worried about. like shootings, robbery, rape and other sorts of things. i think that Jemaine was an innocent child that didn't mean any harm. He just wanted to have fun o the dirt bike with his friend.
