Black and Blue Friday

Thursday was thanksgiving a day of happiness and joy to be with your family.  Friday was "Black Friday," the day where people wait till midnight to the best deals in the retail stores for their christmas list.  People are ridiculous and fight to get a certain game or a toy or this or that.  They will break peoples arms and some bring pepper spray to ward off the competition.  This is the one day that if you work at a store, that you better be sick.
I honestly find it insane that people will go to such extent to get a product.  That is why i wait till cyber monday.  Cyber monday is the black friday of the internet where people go onto all the retail store sights or on amazon and order everything that they want.  It is honestly the better choice to do because your computer isn't going to jump at you and punch you in the face.

Assassin's fail

A man is accused of trying to assassinate the president this week.  Oscar Ramiro Ortega attempted to kill the president as he shot across from the white house.  Agents found bullets that hit the window of the white house and began to investigate.  Agents found him and he will now be prosicuted for his crime and may have possible life in prison.
This issue brings up an old fear that Obama would soon be killed.  Many thought that at the begging of office that he would be killed and so far nothing has happened till now.  Will this one act of violence start a domino effect.

Sports today

Sports, once the pinnacle of many men and women's lives, now it is slowly falling down the drain.  With the NBA now having an official lockout and the NFL almost having one, many sport fans fear.  With the lose of Joe Paterno, many fans are upset with the entire sport organization.
I personally believe that if things with all organization's, sports could be a thing of the past.  The NBA is at a downward spiral and the rest could follow.  People would riot and fight to get there sports back even though it is just sports.  There is other things in the world to occupy our time besides seeing a bunch of guys throwing around a ball.

Beating up the homeless

This week, one of our "What would you do" video's involved a homeless man being beat up and treated bad to.  This actually is a issue that bugs me because its cruel and mean.  Even if someone is homeless you should still treat them like the human being that they are.  You don't go punch them or kick them or call them rude and mean names because they are homeless.  People in america and everywhere who are homeless have to face this evil and difficult cruelty.  I believe that cities need to have more homeless shelters so that these people dont have to face this.  The more lives that dont have to face this, the better my conscience will feel.
