Drew Peterson locked up

One of the most recognized mass murderers in the media, Drew Peterson was finally sentenced again to jail to 38 years in jail for killing his third wife Kathleen Savio. Peterson has been surfacing the news for several years as two of his four wives were found dead and many believe that they were both linked to a homicide committed by Drew Peterson. After Peterson was found guilty back in September of a murder of Savio, his defense team asked for a retrial as they believed the death was due to the accident and that this was not a deliberate murder. On February 21, 2013 they found Peterson guilty once again and as he pleaded for his innocence by saying "I did not kill Kathleen!" that wasn't nearly enough to all the evidence linked to the homicide and that was why he was forced to be locked up in the jail cell for the remainder of his life. His fourth wife Stacy Peterson was also found dead back in 2007, but her disappearance was never solved though several people Drew Peterson was linked to her death as he was believed to be the murderer of her as well. After hearing this sentenced of Drew Peterson going to jail for the rest of his life brings joy to me and many other people around the world. There were never any charges that could be put on Peterson for the death of his fourth wife Stacy because of the fact that there was no concrete evidence in that case, but the point that the jury all found Peterson guilty of the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio proves that this criminal deserved to be put in jail. This man was an extreme threat to society as he was a possible mass murderer being linked to the deaths of two of his four wives and if this man was free to the public no one knows what criminal mistake he would make next. It's about time that this man was put away and it is nice to see that any joy in this guys face was taken away after hearing his sentencing from the judge.

Murderous Blade Runner

Yesterday on Valentines Day we found out that Double Amputee Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius was charged with the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. After becoming a role model for several young kids and all amputee victims around the world that you can compete with the best in any condition, his image and reputation began to disintegrate as the story of this tragedy began to unfold. Police investigators said that there had been previous allegations of domestic nature and previous incidents at their home, but nothing that was ever serious enough to see something like this occur. The girlfriend of the blade runner started the day off happy as can be as she went on twitter to say "It's a beautiful day! Make things happen. Starting my day off with a yummy healthy shake from my boo,". It is so sad to hear about this tragic event that occurred on Valentine's Day when the life of a young model was taken away when killed by several gunshots from Pistorius. It crazy how his image has flipped so rapidly from being a motivational story when being able to compete at such a high level running with the best in the world and representing his country of South Africa, and then having this burden on his life of having the image of being a murderer. I understand that nobody is guilty until they are proven it in court so we don't know if the accusations are too harsh at these times, but it is completely saddening to hear that the innocent life of this model was taken away.  

Another U.S. Shooting

Today on February Monday 11th 2013, another shooting in the United States occurred as two women were shot and killed inside of a courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware as well as two officers being shot, but were not wounded because of the bulletproof vests they were wearing. The story is still developing as it occurred this morning around 8 A.M., but news reports believe that the killers estranged wife was seemed to be as one of the victims. Ironically this shooting happened on the day that the police chief of Wilmington, Delaware was scheduled to be in Philadelphia to attend a round table discussion about gun safety where Vice President Joe Biden, law enforcement officials and members of Congress were expected to be there. After discussing gun control and all of the shootings that have been occurring the U.S. it doesn't seem like there are anything stopping these criminals from causing tragedies to many families in these murderous acts. When we finished watching the film by Michael Moore of Bowling for Columbine it was clear that the regulations for people to receive these hazardous weapons was way too easy and this was one of the reasons for so many gun killings every year. It is nice to hear that Joe Biden was planning on having a meeting about gun safety because in America it is outrageous to the amount of deaths every year just from gun shootings. The government needs to continue to regulate the laws around gun control and the selling of these weapons and there needs to be a change to stop all of these tragedies from happening so often.
