“Tyler Giuliano, Masked Teen Shot By Father Jeffrey Giuliano, Called A Good Kid.”


     In The Huffington Post, John Christofferson posted an article called, “Tyler Giuliano, Masked Teen Shot By Father Jeffrey Giuliano, Called A Good Kid.” The article was posted on September 29, 2012.
     In New Fairfield, Tyler Giuliano was playing an online game with his friends and shortly after he went outside wearing all black with a mask and weapon in his hand. His aunt was his next door neighbor, and she called her brother, Jeffrey Giuliano, saying that she thinks there is a burglar outside trying to break in. Tyler Giuliano’s dad, Jeffrey Giuliano, went outside with a gun. Jeffrey did not know that the so called burglar was his son. As Tyler walked toward his dad with the knife, Jeffrey Giuliano shot him. When the plice arrived, Tyler was lying dead on the driveway with a knife in his hand. The police informed Jeffrey Giuliano that he had shot his son. No immediate charges were brought against Jeffrey Giuliano. He was a popular fifth-grade teacher. “He was the teacher you requested in the fifth grade. He was a great teacher. All the kids loved him,” said Rosemary Rasile. Tyler Giuliano was a fifteen year old student at New Fairfield High school and a civil Air Patrol Cadet. Some of those who knew him said he had an easy-going personality. He enjoyed spending time with his family, and he was adopted by Giuliano and his wife. State police spokesman, Lt. J. Paul Vance said that Tyler Giuliano was a good kid. He had never been in trouble with the law. His friends and family were surprised because they did not expect Tyler to do what he had done.
   It is scary how a well behaved child decides to such a thing, leaving everyone speechless. No one will know why Tyler Giuliano decided to wear a mask and hold a knife at one in the morning, leaving his father with a guilty feeling. This article shows the dreadful possibilities that can take place when an individual has problems within that need to be taken care of.

"Missouri Bus Driver Suspended After Making Student Exit Bus And Retrieve Mustard Packets From McDonald’s Next To Highway.”

    In The Huffington Post, KCTV reported an article called, “Missouri Bus Driver Suspended After Making Student Exit Bus And Retrieve Mustard Packets From McDonald’s Next To Highway.” The article was published on September 21, 2012.  A Missouri bus driver asked an eleven year old girl to cross the parking lot and go inside McDonald’s in order to get mustard packets for the bus driver. The bus driver asked for mustard packets because of her blood pressure. There is a policy that students are not allowed to exit the bus unless they have arrived at their destination, but the bus driver did not follow this policy.  The driver is currently placed on a temporary leave. Parents do not feel comfortable with leaving their children in the bus driver’s hands because anything could have happened to the unsupervised eleven year old as she went to get the mustard packets. School bus drivers are given the responsibility to make sure a child arrives at their destination safely, and the bus driver’s act was nothing close to being responsible. If the bus driver was aware of her sudden blood pressure elevations, she should have been prepared. When one is given the responsibility to make sure a group of children are safe, they should not make decisions that only benefit them.

"Speech in the Virginia Convention"


    Patrick Henry wrote the “Speech in the Virginia Convention” in the 1770’s during the Revolution, which was a hard time for the American Colonists. The colonists were doing everything in their power to break free from England, and Patrick Henry wanted to speak out and give his opinion during a time like the Revolution. During the Revolution the British pressured the colonists in various ways and did not grant them their freedom, therefore it was time to speak up once again. The subject of this speech is freedom and independence. During the Revolution, that was all most colonists dreamt of. Gaining independence was the only chance they had to escape the British, that was if they had a chance to gain independence. The British would send their powerful armies against the colonists and they would tax them. Patrick Henry was trying to install the eagerness to speak only independence and freedom in the colonists. The colonists had a cause that was being postponed, and the cause was independence. They were given false hope over and over again, and their hope was crushed. They had tried everything to get their voices heard but nothing had helped. Britain responded to them with violence and rejection. The main purpose was to persuade and inspire. Patrick Henry was trying to persuade the president and the congress members to give the colonists independence. King George III betrayed them many times, and Patrick Henry wanted to persuade the president that the colonists will not give up. Patrick Henry also wrote the speech to inspire the American colonists in order to fight for their independence and not give up. There were Americans that did not fight for their freedom because they wanted to be loyal to England. Patrick Henry stated that if they do not fight as a whole, they will not win the battle. It was their cause and their obligation to fight for it, even if it meant giving up their life.

“Margarita Zaragoza, A Pregnant Woman, Stabs Boyfriend ‘Accidentally’ For Pouring Out Her Alcohol: Cops.”

     In The Huffington Post, an article called, “Margarita Zaragoza, A Pregnant Woman, Stabs Boyfriend ‘Accidentally’ For Pouring Out Her Alcohol: Cops.”  The article was published on September 14, 2012. Thirty-six year old Margarita Zaragoza stabbed her boyfriend’s arm twice with a steak knife on Wednesday, because he was pouring out the alcohol in her cup. Margarita said that she was washing the knife and as she turned around to speak to her boyfriend, she accidentally stabbed him. The victim’s wounds did not click with Margarita’s story.  Margarita was pregnant and her boyfriend emptied her cup because she was not allowed to drink alcohol. Margarita Zaragoza was charged with aggravated assault. Margarita had a history with DUI and drug arrests. Not only did Margarita stab her boyfriend, but she also preferred dangering her unborn child’s health in order to enjoy her booze. One who has been arrested due to drugs and alcohol should not be responsible for a child until she is ready. Carrying a baby for nine months requires responsibility. If one stabs their boyfriend because he was trying to protect an innocent baby, they need to seek help before taking responsibility over another human being.

“Michael And Michelle Freeman, Oregon Couple, Arrested In Child Porn Investigation (Video).”

     In The Huffington Post, Andres Jaunegui wrote an article called, “Michael And Michelle Freeman, Oregon Couple, Arrested In Child Porn Investigation (Video).” The article was published on September 6, 2012. Forty year old Michelle Freeman and her thiry-nine year old husband Michael Serapis Freeman surrendered to police in their hometown of Salem, Ore. Because someone they knew threatened to report them. The Freemans were accused of videotaping themselves while performing sexual acts with children. One of the children in their videos was the Freeman’s nine year-old daughter. Before the Freeman’s gave themselves in, FBI in Colorado found videos of a woman having sexual contact with two girls under the age of ten. The woman in the video was unidentified at the time. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Los Angeles were on the case as soon as they found photos of abused girls. ICE turned to the public, and a photo of the women spread across media. The couple was arrested and they may face fifteen to thirty years of prison.  They have destroyed children’s lives with their horrific acts.  Many parents are cautious about their children’s safety, while other sick minded “parents” are poisoning their own child’s life.

On The Rocky Side

     

      Chocolate ice cream, or shall I say “Rocky Road” is the best ice cream on this planet. Who does not like Rocky Road ice cream? Every time I enter the ice cream isle at a store, I leave with my favorite ice cream, Rocky Road. I do not know anyone who can resist the rich chocolate taste that flows in your mouth as soon as you eat it. Starting from the smooth texture all the way to the crunchy almonds that surprise you at every bite, Rocky Road is irresistible. How can one forget the marshmallows that act like the cherry on top? No matter how frozen the ice cream is, the cloud like marshmallows are always soft. Rocky Road being my favorite childhood ice cream, never fails at walking me down memory lane and leaving me with an unavoidable crave. A special thanks to William Dreyer who brought good to this world by creating Rocky Road in 1929. Rocky Road is alluring, alluring is Rocky Road. As soon as it reaches your taste buds it leaves you wanting one more bucket of the yummy goodness. Rocky Road is not like any other ice cream, because it does not leave you with a guilty feeling afterwards, because you get the daily dosage of chocolate you need in order to function and fresh almonds that do good to your heart. When you are feeling a bit down, Rocky Road will make you feel as balanced as the ice cream itself. It is rich, it is smooth, it is crunchy, it is creamy. The intense chocolate flavor leaves you with an empty bowl. You can never go wrong with Rocky Road.

“Tiffany Nicole Klapheke, Texas Airman’s Wife, Jailed After Toddler’s Horrific Death.”


   In The Huffington Post, Angela K. Brown wrote an article called, “Tiffany Nicole Klapheke, Texas Airman’s Wife, Jailed After Toddler’s Horrific Death.” The article was published on August 30, 2012. Tiffany Klapheke’s husband was in the military overseas and Tiffany Klapheke had three children. Tiffany was very stressed due to her husband’s absence, and she could not take care of her three children. Her 22- month old daughter passed away at the hospital due to dehydration and malnutrition. The toddler was underweight and she has chemical burns because her mother did not “feel” like changing her diaper for days. Tiffany’s two other daughters, three years and six months old were in critical condition because they were not taken care of. They were taken to a children’s hospital in Fort Worth. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services had custody of the two daughters and they contacted relatives in order to find a safe home for the children. Klapheke admit to KTAP-TV that she should have been a good mother and taken care of them but she did not put them first anymore. Klapheke said that she did not have any relatives in Texas and she was alone. Tiffany needed help with taking care of her children but she did not go out of her way to seek help for the benefit of her children. Tiffany acted selfish and heartless towards her children. Instead of paying more attention to her kids at the time, she neglected her own children. She did not treat them as her own. She brought her child to this world and sent her back with her own hands. Countless number of women are dreaming of having children, and a mother of three does not even appreciate the God given blessing.
