Rick Ross Out of jail, wants his name back

Now that the real “Freeway” Rick Ross, is out of jail he’s ready to reclaim the rights to his name. The infamous L.A.-based drug trafficker is planning a lawsuit against Miami rapper Rick Ross (real name William L. Roberts II),
From the sound of it, things could get pretty serious. When asked if they were planning on pushing for injunctions on Ross’ music or anything of that sort, his lawyer responded “If it has to go to court, all of that is not only in the plan but already prepared.”
For people that don’t know about the former drug king-pin Rick Ross spent 15 years in prison for trying to purchase over 100 KILOS of cocaine from a federal agent.

Opinion: I think that Rick Ross has the right to his name, I mean the rapper Rick Ross has spent the past few years making money from street cred that doesn’t belong to his name, I think that should be illegal and I think the REAL Rick Ross should get his name back along with a lot of money in compensation due to the fact that Rick Ross wouldn’t be anywhere near as successful as he is without the famous name backing him.

UN pushes ban on child soldiers

An Astonishing one third of the worlds countries still have not banned child soldiers and the sale of children.

"In too many places, children are seen as commodities, in too many instances they are treated as criminals instead of being protected as victims, and there are too many conflicts where children are used as soldiers, spies or human shields," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said yesterday.

Throughout the world include countries like Mammmar and Iraq have not signed the treaty banning child atrocities, the UN has been pushing for the past decade to outlaw the use of a child as a commodity, but after a decade clearly not enough has been done.


Opinion: I think it is atrocious that countries are still willing to use the future of the country as a commodity, I think this has a large part of what is wrong with the world, because people growing up as a child soldier obviously are very traumatic and they arent raised the right way and when that’s all they know obviously they arent going to pass on the right messages to their kids.

73 Killed in India Train Wreck, Terriosts?

The crash occurred at about 1:30 a.m railway spokesman Anil Kumar Saxena said.

At least 73 bodies have been pulled out of the mangled wreckage where two trains crashed in eastern India early Friday in an incident authorities linked to Maoist rebels.

By Friday night, hours after the massive collision, prospects were getting dim for anybody else left in the wreckage of crushed train cars, rescuers said.

Also about 115 passengers were injured when 13 cars of the Lokmanya Tilak Gyaneshwari Express derailed, capsized on a parallel track and were slammed by a cargo train, authorities said.

Indian officials gave different theories about the derailment.
Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee said a bomb explosion caused the passenger train to jump rails.

"It appears to be a case of sabotage where a portion of the railway track was removed. Whether explosives were used is not yet clear," Home Minister P. Chidambaram said

Opinion: This is a very tragic incident and I think its sad that the India Government has not decided what has happened yet, I don’t know if it’s a cover up or if it really has been bombed by rebels. Indian officials say that 900 people have been killed in the past year from rebel attacks.

Gary Coleman’s condition has worsened according to his family the Different Strokes actor suffered an intracranial hemorrhage at his home in utah.

He was in critical condition on Thursday but a hospital statement said he has slipped into unconsciousness
Coleman was initally rushed to a local hospital after his fall at home, but later transferred to Utah Valley Regional. There is not a lot of news to report on this because of it being a developing story.

Opinion: My opinion on this story is my heart weeps for the one time very famous child actor, Different Strokes was one of my favourite shows growing up and it pains me deeply to see that one of my favourite actors is in a struggle for his life, witch catch-phrases like “WHATCHU TALKIN’ BOUT WILLIS?” ringing in my ears it deeply saddens me to read this story.

44 dead in Jamaica street gang wars

Jamaican security forces claimed a tenuous hold over the strong hold of a gang leader sought by the U.S., but only after battles that killed at least 44 civilians, the country's official ombudsman said Wednesday.
Officers and soldiers were still fighting holdout defenders of Christopher Coke, known as "Dudus," in pockets of the Tivoli Gardens area. He was still at large after nearly three days of street battles.
Bishop Herro Blair, Jamaica's most prominent evangelical pastor, told The Associated Press that independent evaluations have put the number of civilian dead at 44 in West Kingston alone. Police have said that at least four soldiers and police officers also have died in fighting in West Kingston and elsewhere around the capital.
Police earlier reported at least 26 civilian deaths and the country's embattled Prime Minister Bruce Golding promised an independent investigation into all civilian deaths during the operation.
Blair and Jamaica's public defender were escorted by security forces into Tivoli Gardens, where supporters of Coke began massing last week after Golding dropped his nine-month refusal to extradite him to the U.S.
Coke has ties to Golding's Labor Party, which gets a large number of votes from the Tivoli Gardens area Golding represents in parliament.
Opinion: I can see both sides of this struggle, Coke has really helped out the slums of West Kingston by helping with grocery bills, putting roofs over peoples heads and providing schooling for the people. He has been doing this through selling coke in New York, which is wrong and causes many people pain. The people of West Kingston really love Coke for there own reasons, and obviously are willing to die for him.

At age 95, she finally gets her high school diploma

There was a historic even at the Monday evening grad events of the Falkville seniors of Alabama. Marching alongside the young teens of the grad class was 95 year old Earlene Harvey-Morris, whose dreams of her own diploma we’re snatched away 77 years ago during the great depression.
“This is just something I never thought would happen,” Harvey-Morris told the Falkville class of 2010, who adopted her and made her an honorary class member.

She had a typical high school girl’s life, partaking in sports and school plays with friends. But the Depression hit the largely agrarian northern Alabama community especially hard, and the local school board was forced to close the school just a semester before Earlene’s graduation.
Opinion: I think this old lady is very determined and I think it’s a great thing that the school system could offer her especially because it sounds like she had a normal high school life until the great depression hit. This is a very upbeat story in a time where there aren’t to many upbeats stories so it really warms someone’s heart when they read about an old lady finally doing something she always wanted too.

Mother accused of suffocating children: I dont how i'll cope

Lianne Smith, 43, contacted a publicist in a plea for help, according to a report, days before allegedly killed her five-year-old daughter Rebecca and 11-month-old son Daniel.
Police found the children’s bodies lying on the beds of the triple room, carefully covered with a blanket. Reports in Spain said officers found a note in the room in which Mrs Smith confessed to killing them and explained her motive.
She is expected to undergo psychiatric tests today as she waits to learn whether a case will be brought against her.
Opinion: These cases are hard to have an opinion on prior to the psychiatric examination, you never really know if she truly has it all there mentally or if she doesn’t, sometimes the human mind bends and breaks in extreme ways, and perhaps that is the case here but it could also be that she just lost her husband and she diddnt want the burden of two children, maybe there was money issues or something.
