Three teenagers were charged for first degree murder for killing a 16 year old boy. The three teenagers Silvanus Shannon, 19; Eric Carson, 16 and Eugene Riley, 18 were all caught on tape beating this young honors student to death. These three men were all charged for 1st degree murder of Derrion Albert. The video shows the attackers punching, kicking and even using wooden planks to hit the young man. At one point in the video there were about 5 people attacking Derrion until he fell to the ground. The attackers ran away and the man with the camera picked up the victim and brought him to the closest hospital. Derrion’s grandfather explains how his son was a ongoing member of his church he was a honors student and how his grandson did not deserve what happened to him and it is a shame that someone would have such anger that they would kill someone because of it. The video was found in a local television station where the footage was turned into the police.
I think that these three teenagers deserved there punishment for 1st degree murder. It’s devastating that someone would do this. Derrion Albert seemed like a great guy and it is very unfortunate that he has been killed. I hope the murderers realize the mistake they made as their life is forever changed. There new life will include a long time behind bars.

police release missing girl footage
On Wednesdays, September 23 the Toronto police released a video from a security camera located somewhere in Toronto. The video showed the where abouts of the missing teen the day before she was reported missing. Mariam Makhniashvili was last seen outside her school on September 14th. The security cameras showed this girl and her brother in a subway station on their way to volunteer at a school event. Mariam and her brother George were apart of a leadership development program with their school. Mariam did not show up to this event because that was the day she vanished, Mariam’s dad had to take her shift. Mariam just arrived in Canada last June from their native republic of Georgia. Their family can’t believe what happened. The police hoped that by releasing this video someone would recognize Mariam and they could find some hints or clues to where she might be. They have been using sites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube in hopes that the public might be able to assist them with their search. Mariam was last seen September 14, 2009 at 8:30 am. Till this day Mariam remains missing and the search continues.
Mariam seems like a great person and I can’t imagine what their parents are going through right now. They have been in Canada for around 3 months and her daughter is kidnapped. I think it’s a great idea using You Tube, Facebook and twitter, the most popular sites in the world right now because millions and millions of people are on these sights and they might just recognize her face. Being kidnapped is a very scary thing and I hope Mariam is found.

Atempt of Murder on Airlines.
September 14th 2009 three British Muslims were imprisoned for at least 30 years for attempt of murder on airlines. These Three Muslims planned to blow up transatlantic airliners with liquid explosives hidden inside pop bottles. This was said to be the most serious case ever handled by the British court. Abdulla Ahmed Ali was the mastermind behind this plan and was sentenced to over 40 years in prison which is the longest sentence ever given out by the British court. This man put dye and oasis soda inside to make the appearance of a regular soda pop. If the plan was successful than approximately 2000 people would have died and if the plane flew over a Canadian or American city around 100 more would have died. However; the plan didn’t work out and they were caught going through security. The intention was that this would be another September 11 incident. This incident led to major chaos as 100s of people were grounded across Europe. This was describing as a case of suicide bombing.
I think that these men deserved their punishments. If he was successful many people would have been killed and that wouldn’t have been good. These men are being charged for attempt of murder and they will have to think about what they did for at least 30 years locked behind bars. Personally I don’t think there was any chance of these men being able to get across security because of how tight it is there. I always thought not being able to bring a certain beverage on an airplane was stupid but, now I understand why this rule is in place.

Man murdered 5 children and wife
On September 21st 2009 the Florida authorities are on search for a man by the name of Mescas Damas. Mescas Damas murdered his wife and his 5 children. The bodies of Guerline Damas, 32; Michzach, 9; Marven, 6; Maven, 5; Megan, 3; and Morgan, 11 months, were discovered on Saturday afternoon at around 6:30 pm. Unfortunately the Authorities’ can't find Mr. Damas it was that Mr. Damas left the country early Friday morning to Haiti. While the authorities were doing a check on the Damases history they discovered that there have been several calls to 911 related to this Damas couple. The most recent call to 911 was concerning domestic violence. Mescas was arrested but did not receive any jail time. The police are starting to search the neighborhood asking friends, neighbors and relatives for any clues on where Mescas could be. It is truly horrible what happened to this family and for now the search for Mescas Damas continues.
Mescas Damas is a murderer and I hope they find this man so he can spend the rest of his life behind bars. He will be charged of first degree murder if caught. It is a devastating story and may the Guerline and her 5 children rest in peace.
