Wrong Place at the Wrong time..Not Once, Not Twice, but THREE Times

In recent news, Mexico has dealt with large problems of drug trafficking. Just when they thought it could not get any worse, Mexican Navy reveals nearly a ton of cocaine hidden inside a shipment of frozen sharks. On the southeastern port of Progreso and Yucatan State, the navy inspectors detected something “fishy” in a routine x-ray. After the questioning ceased, the navy cut a shark open to only reveal black bags loaded with cocaine. A total of 870 packages weighing 894 kilograms were discovered.

The “drug-dealing” job is becoming more difficult for dealers as the US and Mexico have stepped up drug enforcement efforts. I feel that on the dealers part, it was a clever idea; however, for this Mexican Navy, the dealers are going to have to rethink their plans as our military forces strengthen their effort to cease drug trafficking.

Pregnant mom stabbed on her newspaper route

Jenna Nielson was 22 years old when her and her 8 ½ month pregnant child had their lives ended on June 14, 2007 in Raliegh, North Carolina . She was on her newspaper route to help make her families ends meet at 3:30 am she was stabbed to death. Police authorities believe she was at the wrong place at the wrong time and that it might have been a sexual assault attempt. It has been marked a two year anniversary and still now suspects have been announced.

I believe this to be debilitating to the friends and family of this young woman. It is unfortunate that there has not been a suspect named. However, in the world today as violent as these crimes may seem, it occurs daily.

Toddler in critical condition after falling into pool

On Saturday, May 2^nd, 2009, a Wylie toddler fell into critical condition after drowning in a pool. According to the police this took place at 11:45 a.m. by Lake Travis. Care flight was immediately called and arrived in minutes. Family was performing CPR on toddler when help arrived. Medics quickly took over CPR but it wasn’t enough. The child still remains in critical condition at the Children’s Medical Center in Dallas.

I feel that there should be more accountability placed on parents with young children. Every time we read the news it never fails to see another infant drowned in either a bathtub or a pool. Where is the accountability parents? You do not ever see animals leaving their young unattended, why do we, we are supposed to be the smarter ones at the top of the food chain! I feel their needs to be action taken, and the first question I asked was where was the life vest and where was everyone else while the toddler was wandering around the pool?
