  •  
    "In 2010, a team of researchers at the University of California, Davis set out to test the reliability of drug- and bomb-sniffing dogs."
  •  
    If 85% of the tests are failures, I wonder how many peoples rights have been violated.

    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.

    Exploiting a close and trusting relationship to the victim. #9 Carrying out attack unnecessarily close to the victim. #11
  •  
    1 because he caused pain and suffering to the ex girlfriend's family. 6 because he was doing a crime to terrorize others. 9 because he was exploiting a close relationship to the victim. 11 he had to be close to slash the throat of one of the victims.

    Shayona Dhanak broke up with her Muslim boyfriend because her parents didn't feel she should date a Muslim as she was raised in a Hindu family so he killed her parents and sister so I believe this is an example exploiting close and trusting relationship to the victim because even if they weren't friends they were till the victims family.

Nebraska Says Never Mind: Stripper Can Get Her Million Dollars Back - 1 views

    "The government had appealed after a federal judge in July ordered it to return $1.07 million to 35-year-old Tara Mishra, of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. Mishra said the cash was her life savings earned over years as an exotic dancer. Government lawyers had claimed the money was connected to illegal drugs, but offered no proof."

    Well..... You can't really take money from someone accumulated illegally without proof. The amount is concerning though. I think they should probably go through her employment records just to confirm she is being honest.
  •  
    That's not fair they can just take someone's money away like that. Although it was a large amount, they should have looked into the case other than taking her money, especially if she wasn't under the influence of drugs and nothing was suspicious except the amount.
  •  
    She's either an amazing exotic dancer or there's some side business but you never know, they shouldn't have taken her money without further evidence and proof.
