...Summary On a summer night July 20, 2012; a gunmen opens fire in a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado during a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises”. “The gunman is "dressed head-to-toe in protective gear"- a ballistic helmet, protective gear for his legs, throat and groin, black gloves and a gas mask. He props open the door, before throwing two tear gas canisters into the theater. After both canisters explode, witnesses say he started shooting, first at the ceiling and then at the crowd. Police say he used an AR-15 rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun and at least one of two .40-caliber handguns police recovered at the scene.” (cnn.com P.7). Twelve people are murdered and fifty-six are wounded. James Holmes surrenders to police, is indicted on 166 felony charges, which include; murder, attempted murder, and weapons charges. Five days later Fox news reporter Jana Winter wrote an exclusive article referencing two sources that provided information about a package that was sent to the University of Colorado. “James Holmes, the accused gunman in last Friday's midnight movie massacre in Colorado, mailed a notebook "full of details about how he was going to kill people" to a University of Colorado psychiatrist before the attack, and the parcel may have sat unopened in a mailroom for up to a week before its discovery Monday, a law enforcement source told FoxNews.com.”(Winter, 2012. P.1). “Inside the package was a notebook full of details about how he was going to kill people," the source...

...Discrimination Jillian Baker, Zach Ballard, Matthew Cornman, Latisha Holmes, Joseph Pulver, Maltie Ramjattan, and Aisha Savage LAW 531 Business Law June 15, 2015 Ginky Lee Torres Discrimination On July 17, 2008, plaintiff Ali Aboubaker, 56, a maintenance technician for Washtenaw County, was fired for alleged insubordination. He had been employed by Washtenaw County for 17 years. ALM Media (2014) states that the suit was based on violations of 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 and 1983, the Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act and Title VII. Aboubaker, is a black man and a Muslim, he alleged race, national origin, and religious discrimination. He also was retaliated against, and was exposed to a hostile work environment. All claims were dismissed besides that he was allegedly discriminated against by the county by not being allowed to interview for an entry level drain inspector position. He felt this was based on his religion, race, or national origin. Because he was a union employee, he had the first opportunity to apply for the position if he was qualified. The county argued that it had a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for not interviewing the plaintiff. They claimed Aboubaker was insubordinate on several occasions, which Aboubaker denied and that he was not hired for the job because he was not qualified. Aboubaker had been unable to find work so he sued for past and future lost wages and benefits. Shortly thereafter he went through a divorce and became homeless. Compensation for...

OPINION OF THE COURT KAYE, Judge. substitute-initially understood that 810 wanted normal service restored. But as the brief conversation proceeded, the dispatcher became confused by the caller's repeated insistence that he would "activate" the system and the dispatcher concluded-without attempting to elicit greater clarification from the caller, or any other confirmation-that 810 wanted its system taken out ofservice. Seven to nine minutes later, Holmes began receiving fire signals from the building. However, consistent with his mistaken impression that the system was to be taken out of service, the dispatcher simply assumed that he should ignore those signals. In fact, a four-alarm fire bad started on the 28th floor, which was reported directly to the fire department by others-but not until minutes after the signals were first received by Holmes. A spate of lawsuits followed. [ IL Initially, we must determine whether 810 may pursue tort claims against Holmes, or is limited...

...Being Poor Can Lead to Being Fat By: Genevia Holmes Could you imagine having a stroke at 26 years of age? What about having the medicine cabinet of a senior citizen at the age of 20? Can this happen to anyone you ask, the answer to this question is yes and it has happened to a Valerie Moore of Holmes County, Mississippi. Valerie unfortunately lives in one of Mississippi’s poorest areas. Valerie weighs 241 lbs. and contributes her weight gain to eating unhealthy foods. Obesity is a major public health problem in the U.S. While all segments of population are affected, low-income and food insecure people are more vulnerable due to risks associated with poverty. In Valerie’s case that is what happened. Since having the stroke Valerie has lost 70lbs but says it’s a struggle to provide whole nutritious meals if you have only $5.00 and you need to stretch it to feed yourself and 2 children. (Elliot, 2011). Obesity occurs in many households in America due to a lack of resources such as income, affordable foods and opportunity for physical activity. According to Center for Disease Control over the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States. More than one-third of Adults and 17% of children in the U.S are obese. Americans find it easier and cheaper to provide filler foods loaded with high fructose corn syrup and other additives for their family so they can be full. In America 14.5 percent of people are struggling to put food on the table...

...Bridget Holmes 2659890 SWK 201Kirven DOMESTIC VIOLENCE According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, in 2003-2012 domestic violence accounted for 21% of all violent crimes in the U.S. and of those crimes 76% of the victims were female and 75% of the victimizers were current or former spouses, boyfriends or girlfriend. This is an interesting topic to me because it is an issue that crosses racial, socioeconomic, religious, and cultural lines. It is an often unreported crime that occurs in every community with sometimes long term and devastating effects. This topic is important to me because I myself was a 2 time victim of domestic violence. The first occurred with my children’s father whose physical, mental and emotional abuse towards me began early and increased over time, until I ended it by severing our relationship ties. The second was a former boyfriend who stalked and harassed me for almost 2 years, until he was finally arrested and served a year in jail. No one would have ever suspected that I would have experienced such things, especially because a lot, perhaps too many of the incidences went unreported and were covered up by me, the victim. Historically, women...

...T HIS HOW NRA E A BIGGER, RICHER, MEANER GUN-CONTROL S IS T HE ENDS MOVEMENT HAS ARRIVED. BY ALEC MACGILLIS 18 JUNE 10, 2013 THE NEW REPUBLIC buyers failed in the Senate, and the fatalistic shrugs in Washington were so numerous they were nearly audible. The legislation had been a modest bipartisan compromise, supported by 90 percent of the public and lobbied for hard by the president. A group backed by Michael Bloomberg had spent $12 million on ads pressuring senators to vote “yes.” When the bill fell short—by just ve votes—it seemed to con rm a Beltway article of faith: There’s no point messing with the National Ri e Association (NRA). And that, many assumed, was the last we’d be hearing about gun reform. But then something unexpected happened. Some of the senators who’d voted “no” faced furious voters back home. Even before Erica La erty, the daughter of murdered Sandy Hook Elementary principal Dawn Hochsprung, confronted New Hampshire Republican Kelly Ayotte at a particularly tense town hall, Ayotte’s disapproval rating in the state had jumped from 35 to 46 percent—half the respondents said her “no” vote made them less likely to support her. In Pennsylvania, which has the second-highest concentration of NRA members in the country, the bill’s Republican co-sponsor, Pat Toomey, saw his approval reach a record high. One of the country’s best-known gun-rights advocates, Robert Levy, said the NRA’s “stonewalling of the background-check proposal was a mistake, both...
