    I think that law is acceptable. It says it is your moral and legal obligation to inform and that is correct if you ask me.
  •  
    I also believe that you should let these people know instead of not telling them. You should feel responsible if you have it, to tell them you have it.
  •  
    Let me know your opinion.
  •  
    The law states that there has to be intentional transmission of this virus in order to criminalize people yet in the article it states that Plendl"s hospital test came up negative. There was no transmission of the virus and the man was in prison and is now a registered sex offender.
  •  
    If the viral load at the time of intercourse was undetectable and he took precautions to be safe on top of that he should have not been found guilty of the charges especially since there was no way of either of them knowing if Rhoades was infected and if Plendl did not contract the HIV virus according to hospital tests
  •  
    I agree with the law and that you need to let people know but they used protection and and they didn't know at the time so Nick shouldn't be in prison. The law says it needs to be intentional but it wasn't intentional.
  •  
    Nick Rhoades stated that he was protected and that he shouldn't be getting any sort of punishment but I can see that he did a class B felony crime because he did pass it on but for him being protected he wasn't trying to do any harm he doesn't deserve the punishment.

    Today everyone needs to COMMENT a response to this article. Please answer both: ~In your personal opinion, did the police act appropriately? ~Based on your team's taser policy (from yesterday) was this an acceptable taser deployment? Why or why not?
  •  
    Well she could have posed a threat to herself or the police so yes this was an acceptable taser deployment my group policy is that no minors will be tased unless under some circumstances like concealing a weapon or posing a threat to self or others.
  •  
    i think it was the right thing to do because they saved her life but according to my group policy it shouldn't be ok because we put that minors shouldn't have the taser used on them
  •  
    I think that the police were correct by using a Taser. This girl had the intent to harm others but mainly herself. I do think there could have been better ways to prevent her from harming herself but the Taser worked just as well. My group had the policy of No one under 10 unless has possession of a weapon. This girl had a weapon (knife) in her possession AND intent to harm. Therefore, the police acted appropriately according to my group's policy.
  •  
    I do think the police officer acted properly because there aren't many choices in a situation like that. His main goal was to save the girl from further harming herself or anyone else. Based on my group's rules yesterday, it probably wouldn't have been acceptable because the girl was under 15.
  •  
    I think they did the right thing, if she was really threatening to commit suicide, I'm not sure where an 8 tear old gets that idea, but according to my group policy, it shouldn't have happened because she wasn't threatening the police.
  •  
    I think what they did was wrong when i just heard about it but after finding out she had a knife and was being suicidal i think what they did was right what else should they have done so she wouldn't hurt herself? With are policy it was not but in this case it was okay.
  •  
    Yes because she was going to kill her self and the police saved her life. So i think that they did what they should have.
  •  
    I think the police did the right thing. They're were trying to stop her from hurting herself. She was a threat to them and her self.
  •  
    I think the police did act appropriately in this situation. The little girl was pointing the knife at herself and the officer. The police weren't quite sure if she would harm herself so they tased her to get the girl's behavior under control. According to our policy from yesterday this was acceptable taser deployment.
  •  
    I think the police acted appropriate because the girl tried to kill her self and based on my team this would be acceptable because we said the girl had a knife and they should have used the taser against the girl for their safety and the girls.
  •  
    If he had to taze her to safe her he should do it and she did point a knife at the police office Yes she threatend the police officer and herself
  •  
    From what my group said, the cop was right when he tazered the girl
  •  
    Police acted appropriately. According to my group the use of a taser should not of been allowed because the girl was under the age of ten.
  •  
    I believe that the police acted appropriately because there was no other way to get her to put the knife down. They talked to her about putting the knife down to give her an opportunity for this to not happen but she did not listen and suffered the consequences. My group thought that if the person is refusing to obey police order that the taser is okay to use, and in this case exactly that happened.
  •  
    i fell that the officer did the right thing because the 8 year old was going to kill herself if anything the police officer saved her life and based on my teams decision it wouldn't have been ok but she is trying to kill herself
  •  
    She could have harmed herself or the police, so the taser use was appropriate in this case. Based on my team's taser policy I think it would be okay to use in this situation.
  •  
    they saved her life so therefore i think it was the right thing to do.
  •  
    I think the police did good with taser the girl. Also it would meet all of my groups expectations
  •  
    I think in this situation the police did the right thing, yes it was acceptable because she could have harmed herself and others.
  •  
    The officer could of handled this problem better, but he the right thing.
  •  
    First why would an 8 year old girl be suicidal but regardless the officer did the right thing so they can figure out what the problem is

Lewis Central High School has a shooting scare - 3 views

  •  
    A mother posted on her facebook about how her son is an expert marksmen, and hints at the though of him going to shoot anyone who has bullied him in high school. The case is still under investigation.

    This would be victimology number 8 (targeting people who are not merely weak, but helpless.) Any parent has the right to do what ever it takes to protect their child, especially if they are getting bullied, but threatening/ targeting the school and some of the students, is no way to behave. Why put the kids' lives at risk, let alone your own life...
  •  
    I think that the intent with this story was #6: carrying out a crime to terrorize others by sending a message to potential victims. She claimed that only the people who had ever bullied her son would be shot. I also think that her attitude toward the situation is #24: indifference to the actions and their impact on the victims, she doesn't seem to say that she would have remorse for anyone that her son could possibly harm, because it wouldn't be his fault. And #8 targeting people who are weak and helpless.
  •  
    This story would contain items 1, 6, 12, 24. 1- because it seems like she's trying to scare them, 6- because again, it seems like she's terrorizing others with the fact that her son is a perfect marksmen, 12- you just don't put that out on facebook, and 24- she doesn't seem to care about other people and how it could possible effect them.
