In September 2008, Li Shiming was stabbed through the heart by a 19 year-old Chinese boy, Zhang Xuping. Generally, this case would be classified as morally and legally wrong; but many people have come forward to say that Li was a terrible communist official. On many accounts he was said to have taken land by force. Some 20,000 people came forward to defend the assassination of the greedy official.
My question is simple. Should this boy be pardoned for excecuting an overenforcer? One man came forward and even said "I wanted to kill Li myself, but I was too weak." In fact Zhang was hired by another farmer whos land was stolen from by Li. It is clear that this official was hated and deserved some time of punishment for his actions. But my moral compass just can't let go that Li had to die. Perhaps another method of punishment could have been taken. Yet, I also don't think that Zhang should suffer the death penalty. We will have two murders on our hands instead of just the one.

5:1 Child is Doused in Alcohol then Lit on Fire
Young Mister Michael Brewer was surrounded by five of his peers; they then taunted him and finally proceeded with their torture. They poured alcohol on the young boy and then lit him on fire. Brewer did end up surviving the torture but is in the ICU and his life is on the line. His bandages have to be changed daily and the length process takes 4 hours total. Not only is his body in terrible shape, the doctors have him on so much medication for the pain, he's unconscious.
It was shocking to hear that a little boy was lit on fire; what kind of role models did the purpentrators grow up with? Who was there to watch them grow into sick humans beings who set people on fire and just watch?
Something needs to be done about the new generations.

Anti Abortionists get Deadly: Irony at Its Best
In an abortion clinic in Nebraska doctors have to hide from the crowds, they have to be completely aware of their surrounding; the abortion doctors in Nebraska are in danger because of their job. The front of the clinic is damaged, the whole outside is filthy and is falling apart; however, when you walk in the entire clinic is neat and sanitary. While entering, apparently, the protesters will note what you look like and what your license plate number. They then relay that information, through walkie talkies no less, to their other non supporters. Carhart is one of the only doctors in the clinic, his mentor, Tiller, was shot in the head by one of the abortion protesters. This is appalling, especially as a female, teen, Californian to see that in another state is is vital to your health that you do not get an abortion. This seems so ironic to me, the protesters are claiming to save lives; but in their attempt to protest they kill someone. Hopefully one day underage teens, unfit mothers, or willing patients will be able to walk into a proud standing abortion clinic in Nebraska and be able to get the treatment they desire.
