Four Are Dead After a String of Shootings in California

In the article, "Four are dead after a string of shootings in California", they are discussing how a man begun to shoot in his home. Killing a women.

The man who had begun to shoot name was Ali Syed. He begun to shoot at 4 something in the a.m. A 20 year  women was shoot and killed. Police does not full know and understand why Ali
was shooting, an the relations between the too is still unidentified. After the shooting took place, Ali took off but later that day he was spotted in a restaurant parking lot where he was saw putting more bullets into his gun.

I think that Ali and the women that was in her 20's, must have been arguing and he got upset so he pulled out his gun and begin firing. 

Ali later that day, shot a car on the express way injuring others as well. And as he continued to travel, he killed more and more people with a shotgun. When the police finally caught up with him, he shot himself because he knew what he had got himself into.

I think that Ali had a lot of things going on in his life that devoted him to kill so many innocent people and then take his own life away afterwards.

Korean war Part 2

" Sixty years after the end of the war, tensions are rising on the Korean Peninsula."

The leader of north Korea , Kim Jong Un has decided to try and bomb the U.S.

I think that North Korea is trying to bomb the us because they dont really have that much money left for somethings And they are trying to scare those people of America.

I dont think that its a good idea because the nuclear bombs that they have in North Korea, are not able to reach the U.S. , and if north korea was to send a nuclear bomb it would most likely hit south Korea.

Barack Obama is doing a lot of things to make sure that the U.S is ok and that he find a way to end this madness in good matter.

The leader, Kim is just trying to make his self look better than what he is and try to show Koreans that he is powerful , when truthfully he's not.

I hope that the U.S is safe and that this so called "Korean War Part 2 " is over and done with.

Pain, Hurting and Suffering

The summer of 1977,
John went to get his pictures,
But never returned,
people was looking for him all day,
N.Y.P.D finally found out that he was murdered,
But his real name is Rodney Alcala,
Robert was murdered because he murdered a little girl in California in the year of 1979,
Who ever killed Rodney,
Know what went down in California,
And wanted him dead.

Time For A Raise?

In the article, " Time For A Raise?" they are discussing how Barack Obama would like to change the minimum wage from $7.25 hourly to $9 dollars an hour.

I think that this is a good idea but on the  other hand as its making it easier for other people its kind of making it a little harder on the business owners. If they raise the wage for one employee they will have to raise the wage for they other employees that are making more than 9 dollars. And because of the raising of wages then some employees might get less hours than usual, or some might just get fired.

" It could mean the difference between groceries or the food bank, rent or eviction, scraping by or finally getting ahead. For businesses across the country, it wouldmean customers with more money in their pockets." Low income families could really use the extra money, to survive in the world and it can also help people that do not have a job.

Some people feel as though just by having just a little bit of extra money to play around, should not / will not harm anyone. With today's society you need a little extra money just to be on the safe side.

Slaughter of the African Elephants

 

In the article " Slaughter of the African Elephants " by Samantha Strindberg and Fiona Maisels they discusing how it is cruel how elephants are being killed just so people can use their tusk for things that worth money.

I think that people should not kill and harm the Elephants because they provide a lot of things for people and animals on earth, so why would we harm them if they didn't do anything to harm or hurt us people of America. The things that Elephants help people and animals out with are by helping maintain habitats, they help clean the air so that its easier for us to breathe.

" One of recently came face to face with this honor while walking through a forest in central Africa. The sickening stench provided the first warning. As the smell grew more pungent, the humming sound of death that surrounds the body of the dead elephant became more pronounced." This quote was in the article. This quote made me angry because of the fact that we are all gods creatures and they are killing Elephants to do this that you could do with wood or other materials instead of taking life away from an animal.

People should not want to kill for money. They shouldn't want to kill at all expecially if the animal they are killing, are doing things to help the earth and other things on earth.

Kat Dahlia upcoming Music

In the article, " Kat Dahlia 'Swaggy' Follow Up to 'Gangsta' , they are talking about what her new song that just released, " Gangsta" is really about.

"I was definitely going through a lot at the time and I'll tell you, people always have something going on and everybody finds their own therapy," kat stated. Unlike most people rapping about all the success in their lives and what they want they lives to be in the future, she rapped about things that hurt her in her past and mad a smash hit song.

I think personally that this song has a strong meaning behind it. Some things that happened in her pass is what happened in most kids lives today in the world, but they are not willing to announce to anyone because they might not be used to expressing their feelings to strangers, or they are afraid of how others would react to it.

Most of the music that she preparing to come out in the next month, will be similar to "Gangsta" because she feel as though music is a way for her to let things out. She is my favorite rapper now because i have people in my family and friends that has some of the similar things happening to them. And i too can relate to her, with being Puerto Rican and with the struggles from my past. Her music speaks to me on a level that not, Nicki Minaj nor Drake, etc. can reach.


I think that Kat Dahlia will be successful in the music industry!

CyberWar

In the article, " Cyber War"by Patricia Smith they are discussing how soliders of Iran Hacked into Saudi Arabia's computers to shut down Saudi Arabia's oil company, and when they hacked into the systems they put a picture the American flag burning in flames.

 

The burning flag represented that Iranians are not just there to try and attack Saudi they are soon going to try and come after the United States of America.

 

"The hackers picked the one day of the year they knew, they could inflict the most damage on the World's most valuable company." The day they chose to inflict the most damage on the World's most vauable company was August 15th. August 15th was the day of a Muslim holiday so the hackers knew that the employees of Saudi Aramco would not be there, to protect their important information.

 

The hackers where able to delete about 75 percent of data and files.

Why did they attack?

 

I think that attacked because they knew that the oil could be used inside of nuclear bombs. And they them bombs would be used against them, so they decided to make the first serious move so that they would not get attacked with out being prepared. But im not sure, others might think other wise.

 

The U.S should have back-up data from that day forward, because someone else might try the same thing, and if they do at least they would be prepared and it would not really affect them as much.
