Downtown Bomb Scare...

According to the Austin American Statesman, Today on May 14th, the main criminal courthouse was evacuated because of an alleged bomb scare due to a suspicious package. The justice center which was well under way with classes, trials, and mock trials were all postponed due to this package which belonged to a man who had been watched for a few weeks. Honestly these attempted bomb attacks that have been tacking place lately are getting pathetic. These people have nothing else better to do than to go blow holes into the sides of buildings for their own sake of empowerment. Lets focus on getting them some psychological help while they are in jail because thats whats in order for these people. Even though there were no explosives found the fact that someone left their bag it was very disruptive and caused many delays. Knowingly aware of the fact of when you leave unattended items in public building paronoia will sink into peoples heads because this happens so often, why would you do it? For thrills, for attention, for no reasoning? This is just a blimp our daily life and as long as people were not hurt those will talk about it for the next week or so and then it will be last months news. Gladly no one was hurt and the package wasnt harmful. Just another day in Austin!

Austin Boycotting Arizona!

According to the Austin American Statesman, The Austin City Council decided on Thursday that it would be best to protest business and travel with Arizona due to the new law enforced by the state. This law will allaow law enforcement to detain people at their own discretion if they suspect they are in the country illegally. To many this law is absurd and can be seen a racial profiling and is causing an uproar throughout the whole country. I find that if people are really serious about this then they would stop boycotting and instead they would just move out of Arizona. This law has been legal for quite some time its just that now its actually beiong enacted. It does seem like racial profiling for pulling over a Mexican/American just because they are Mexican, and it is unfair on many different levels. The thing is this, we just need to come up with another way of handling this situation of immigration. By picking out people at random we really arent going to do much good. This is just going to continue to cause citizens to boycott and rebel against authorities. By Austin boycotting Arizona, they may have a slight loss in some business but these arent significant enough to really put a dent in this ordeal.

Houston Teacher, Sheri Davis beating up a thirteen year old!

On April 29th, a 40 year old teacher apparently beat up a thirteen year old student, Isaiah Reagins. She repeatedly kicked him and slapped him in the face while other students and adults watched. I have to say that I agree with my fellow blogger when i say that if this were my child then that teacher would be hurt. Hes right when saying the school is cowardly for trying to cover up the incident they should have taken immediate action. The fact that other adults watch this unfold as if it were a joke is ridiculous, they literally just stand and watch as the FORTY year old teacher beats a THIRTEEN year old. The aggression that must have been accumulating in this teachers head clearly unleashes relentlessly on this poor kid. Even if the child did provoke punishment because of wrong-doing, the situation should have been dealt with in proper protocol. Im sure that most parents would remove thier children from schools if they knw this is what happens when the drop their kids off at 8am. The blogger Robbie Cooper is one of these people who wouldnt let his children attend public school. I agree that it can be rough in public schools, but this could aslo happen at any institution whether it be free or tuition based. I feel like Cooper got the point across to the readers by denouncing this foul behavior as well as expressing emotions that would be expressed by many others. Most would have to agree that they would take matters into their own hands if their children were put in this type of predicament.
