After Boy and Girl Are Stabbed, Anger Over a Lack of Cameras

New York Times 

By. Tyler Plummer

        Two children were reportedly stabbed in a Brooklyn public housing project by a man in a elevator. People in resident saw a man fleeing the scene after the incident. The 7 years old girl is critical condition in the hospital and the 6 years old boy was pronounced dead. Living in project housing in Brooklyn is not safe and dangerous but no feared sending their children to play or sending them to go somewhere.  In these Brooklyn projects houses there are no surveillance cameras in most of them which is bad because it makes it way more difficult to solve cases like these.

I think that all builds should have surveillance systems to keep the builds safer. The violence has come to a point where grown men are killing children and that should not be accepted by the community and the city. I think that the best way to get there point across is to protest and force the government to put more money forward to getting cameras for housing projects

Killings in Iraq, at 799, Reach a Monthly High 

New York Times
By. Tyler Plummer


In the month of May in Iraq 799 lives of Iraqis people have been taken. This is the highest death toll of the year in one month. The Iraq government is struggling with controlling violence in Iraq. Al Queda plays a big role with the death toll being so high as they operate in Syria neighbourhoods where they plan attacks across Iraq. The violence in Iraq is disrupting the economy but the oil exports average 2.6 million barrels a day last month.


I think that its a bad situation right now in Iraq. In Iraq it is not a safe environment due to the big death toll. I think the government has to find a way to stop or help reduce the violence Iraq. The increase in violence is going to effect the economic of the country because tourist aren't going to come to Iraq.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              PI                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 \

Ukraine: 6 soldiers killed in ambush

May 15th 2014

CNN

On Tuesday May 13, 2014 six memebers of the Unkrain forces were killed by a terriost attack stated by The Defence of Ministry. This took place in the village of  Oktyabrski in the Slovyansk region. There soldiers where ambushed during a movement from the military base. There about more than 30 attackers. 

I think this is an unfortunate situation for the Ukraine force as they lost six soldiers in a shoot out. I think that they shouldn't retaliate but just be more couscous and aware of the surroundings. But if there are continue attacks I think that they should attack back to send a message back.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

CNN

Tyler Plummer 

Malaysia Airline Flight 370  is a plane that was lost on March 8, 2014 which scientist and many people are trying to find. The aircraft carried 12 crew members and 227 passengers from 15 nations and regions. the majority of passengers being Chinese citizens.

I think that they should not draw to this conclusion without physical evidence. I am sure they can track the debris until it reaches a safe area where they can actually retrieve it so that they can find out what it is. They should also keep the public and families of the missing members informed to prevent rebellions and doubt in the kind of government that they have. I believe that there is another story to this story and that it will soon be discovered with time. However I am very sorry for the losses that the families suffered and I hope that the passengers are indeed safe somewhere.

Nigeria bomb blast kills 71 in capital city Abuj

CBC
by. Tyler Plummer

A massive explosion ripped through a bus station during the morning rush hour in Nigeria's capital, killing at least 71 people and wounding 124 in a bombing that marked the bloodiest extremist attack ever in Abuja. Survivors screamed in anguish and the stench of burning fuel and flesh hung over the site where billows of black smoke rose as firefighters worked to put out the fires. Reporters saw rescue workers and police gathering body parts as ambulances rushed the wounded to the hospitals. State television has broadcast calls for blood donations.

Another terror attack in the world, 2014 is a time of change and turbulence. These tragedies were the revenges from people to their government. In many places all over the world, government controls everything in that area. Many people cannot find a good place to live, cannot find a job to make money. They started to be disappointed, then became anger. Who are these victims? Innocent people!

York University Death!

CP24
By. Tyler Plummer

23 year old Quian Liu was found dead in her apartment on April 15 2011. She was webcamming with her boyfriend and a man forced his way into the apartment and took off the laptop. While the judges were calling it man slaughter Dr. Jeff Tanguay found that she had no external wounds. He then realized that she could have died form chest compression or lack of breath. There were bruises however that were formed on her shoulder and chest. She could have been strangled or had internal hemorrhages. The have finally reached the conclusion that she was choked in some way in order to stop her breathing.



I think that it is ridiculous that it took them so long to find out what really happened to her, even when there was a witness. They should have put 2 and 2 together. The judges should not be able to draw to conclusions so easily. They should have found out what happened to this girl a long time ago. It took way too long. As well as this students should be more careful and know their boundries. You can't always trust everyone. The man who killed her obviously knew where she lived and wanted to hurt her.

Trust Eroded, Obama Looks Beyond Karzai 

New York Times 

By.Tyler Plummer 

President Hamid Karzai refused to a sign a long term security agreement with US before he leaves office. Obama decided to look past Hamid Karzai decision and informed the pentagon to begin planning complete withdrawal of the American troops in Afghanistan by the end of the year. Obama was still open to leaving military force behind in Afghanistan to conduct training and counter terrorism operations but due to Karzai non response Obama took it that he does not want the offer. Many sources say that Karzai decision not to respond is a bad decision for them. Some people fear to say Obama has a good idea of leaving no troops in Afghanistan because of the fear that without any American or NATO troops, Afghanistan could revert to its status as a staging ground for terrorist plots against the West. President Karzai and the troops relationship has gone toxic because Afghanistan released 65 prisoners that where responsible for killing some US soldiers.

 

I think that Obama is making a controversial decision on moving all the troops out of Afghanistan because that leaves the possibility for Al Qaeda to start planning attacks on the west such American, Canada, etc. it may also be a good idea because Karzai showed no respect by not relying to Obama's offer and he released 65 prisoners that where responsible for killing some us soldiers which is sad because they are fighting to help make peace in your country.
