14 Year Old Girl Mistaken As Burglar Is Killed By Stepfather

 

“Another tragic killing in Colorado.  This time, it’s in Colorado Springs.  It’s a breaking story, so there’s not much information yet.

 

Police spokesman Larry Herbert gave a statement saying that Monday morning, around 6 a.m., a call was made of a burglary-in-progress.  When police arrived on the 4300 block of Ascendant Drive, off North Carefree Circle and Peterson Road, they found a 14 year-old girl had been shot by her step-father.  She was taken to an area hospital where she died of gunshot wounds. ”

Community Village‘s insight:

 

People are so anxious to use that gun that they bought.

Father throws son off high-rise – CNN.com Video

A man in the midst of a bitter custody battle threw his son off a Manhattan high-rise before jumping to his own death.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

I hear stories every year about men who take vengance out on their own family.

 

How do we best teach men that they don’t have the right to murder?

Creating Words and Redefining Words – Hidden Power of Words Series, #5

As a writer, I regularly find it necessary to create new words and occasionally to redefine existing ones. I have done this in my academic writing, creative writing, and online writing. I believe w…

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

I like these examples about paying attention to the suffix of words.

 

“people are not “poor” – they are classed or classized as poor”

 

and

 

People are not slaves – they are enslaved.

 

Saying that people are slaves puts the burden on the enslaved, as if they have a choice in the matter. Saying they are enslaved puts the burden on the enslaver, saying that they have a choice to not enslave.

Community Village‘s insight:

 

This account is telling of current race relations in the U.S.

Jesus Huerta 17 died from ALLEGED self-inflicted gunshot WHILE HANDCUFFED in the back of a police cruiser

 

“The Durham Police Department says Huerta died on November 19 from a self-inflicted gunshot while handcuffed in the back of a police cruiser.”

 

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

A similar incident happened to Chavis Carter a 21-year old American male who was found dead from a gunshot while handcuffed in the back of a police patrol car on July 29, 2012

 

The police car’s recording device in the Carter case had “problems” and didn’t record the sound just before and at the time of the shooting.

Arrest of Indian diplomat sparks international outrage

 

Ms. Khobragade stated that she would pay her domestic worker $4,500 dollars a month. Instead she paid her $3.31 an hour or $573.07 a month.

Ms. Khobragade instructed the domestic worker to tell U.S. Embassy officials that she was being paid $9.50 an hour.

 

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

In India $3.31 an hour may be somewhat common. But in the U.S. – no.

Family of Georgia student suspended for teacher hug files appeal

The family of a Georgia student suspended for the school year for hugging a teacher has filed an appeal with the school board, the teen’s mother tells CNN.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

In his senior year of high school, he is suspended for a year.

 

He did not deserve a suspension for this. However, he should have simply been told that some people don’t like hugs. If he was in a Latin country, this would be less of an issue. It’s common to kiss on the cheek as a greeting in Mexico for example.

Man Running Home Naked Is Killed, Shooter Still Not Charged

 

A 22-year-old man running home naked after his clothes were taken died after being shot in Florida by a shooter who has not been charged with a crime.

 

He leaves behind a 3-year-old daughter and a distressed mother. Now, his family wants answers, and someone held accountable. They wonder why Laguerre has not been arrested. The family has started a facebook page, Justice4Jandei, and a petition on Change.org calling on Florida authorities to charge Laguerre in the case.
