    This case is NOT about the S.L.A.P.S test to decide if something is obscene (Serious Literary, Artistic, Political, Scientific value). So anyway, different sort of slap... Do you think the school reacted with an appropriate punishment?

    No I don't believe that the school should have expelled him. Students get into fist fights, but sometimes only get suspended. He should be punished, but I think they went a little too far.
  • Sarah Allmon on 24 Apr 14
     
    I feel the school went a little overboard on the punishment, but then again it shows other teens that slapping someone in the face is not okay, and is not a joking matter.
  • Lauren Colpitts on 29 Apr 14
     
    Seems to me that this punishment was cruel and a little excessive. I do agree that he needs some sort of punishment to learn from it but the one he received took things to far.

    I think they went a little too far with the punishment. They could've suspended him instead.

    I think they went too far for the punishment. I understand that it's bad to randomly hurt people, but expelling him is too much.

    (CNN) -- A massive church was razed to the ground this week in Wenzhou, a coastal Chinese city nicknamed the "Jerusalem of the East" for its large Christian population. Local officials responsible for the demolition say the church was an illegal structure that was four times the permitted structure size.
  • Bethany Churchill on 07 May 14
     
    I think they should have stopped the construction a long time ago if they knew it was going to be too big. They had twelve years to figure it out, and not destroying enough, is no reason to destroy the whole church.

    I'm not too sure how credible the story is. But, if it is true how had they not have noticed any type of connection between victims? Say, area of killing, type of person they are, etc.

  • Nick Hopkins on 23 Apr 14
     
    She said she killed in Alaska and Florida, causing the police to investigate in both states. Which are probably the furthest states away. It would take a while for the police to investigate the cases. I think that she is trying to gain attention and possibly delay her trial.

    She said that the police wont find full bodies, only body parts.. from a wide range of ages starting at 13! The couple have had plans to kill together, but the victims never showed up. Barbour said she knew they were going to kill someone together since the day they met! How can someone even have the slightest thought of something like this!!

    I seriously don't think she was able to kill just over twenty men since she was thirteen without one getting away or fighting her back. She'd have to take the men by surprise and even then, I don't think a thirteen year old would have successfully committed a murder and got away with it. I think she is just trying to prolong her trial and send the police on a search for the bodies or parts of these individuals she killed. Regardless, one life is time is prison twenty is a couple lifetimes.

    I think you can never be too careful with people on craisglist.. It is full of many people who don't always tell the truth and they are on there for the wrong reasons. There has always been scary problems with Craigslist
  • bohnetsamantha on 30 Apr 14
     
    This was interesting to me, the way she admits to something but the process is taking longer to find her guilty. It's just weird to me that the girl admitted to something more but she's still being questioned. I also think it's a little sketchy that it took her two months and then she finally came out with the story and the locations where she killed them. She did state 2 people got away so finding them would help.

    Some Republicans are distancing themselves from controversial statements made by Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, whose stand-off with the government over grazing fees has become a lightning rod for states' rights supporters. Bundy suggested some blacks are "basically on the government subsidy" and might be "better off as slaves" in an interview with The New York Times that was published Wednesday.

    (CNN) -- Spanish art dealer Jose Carlos Bergantiños Diaz helped persuade wealthy buyers to shell out millions of dollars for works he claimed famous masters of modern art had painted. But in reality, U.S. authorities allege, the works he sold as Rothkos and Pollocks were fakes painted by an artist he met on a Manhattan street corner.

    It makes you wonder how many other things out there, claiming to be name brand, or from a famous artist, are truly just regular items that have much less worth.

    It's surprising how we've been pulled back with involvements with cases like these. And also the fact that it was an organization/group/etc. we went after before adds on to the surprise of our current involvement. Back in early 2000's we were fighting wars, now we're just planning defense without using our troops.
