Any more details? Do you know any of these folks? What makes this a viable news story? We can always make things more interesting when we find something that is relevant to us, our real world, or relative to the society in which we live.

People have no care about anybody else which is why they keep hopping the border. Little do they know that every person that enters our country illegally, could be the person who takes your job in a year or two. Its hard to stop all of this but our country needs to devote even more attention to the border and all of the problems with it.
Lucas ~ reread your post and think about better ways you could have said some of the things above to be less offensive. Sometimes, we can better convey our views and get our point across when we speak more appropriately. Think about it. If you want to convince someone or persuade someone to think as you do, you'll never get the chance if you turn them off by offending them. Does that make sense?

Jeremy Morlock was sentenced to 24 years in jail Wednesday. He pleaded guilty for killing three Afghan civilians. Morlock was thought to be the leader of the five soldiers who killed the unarmed men.
A soldier gets 24 years behind bars for killing Afghan civilians in a "sport" or "game". Also 5 other soldiers are getting 22 or more years for participating.
This guy should be representing our country the right way. He is making the us look bad. It sounds like he has some problems. Normal people don't go around killing others.
The soldiers are there to help, not to kill the innocent civilians of Afghanistan. It disgusts me that any human being can kill somebody as a "sport". That is just messed up.
I understand that killing innocent civilians isn't right. There must be something else behind all this. I dont believe that our soldiers should be put in prison for 24 years or even 22 years just for praticipating. We dont know how innocent these civilians really are.
You would think soldiers would know better than to do that. They are fighting for us and then we have to talk about them because they do something stupid like this. Ya know what i mean?
I understand that there are certain people who need to be killed, the people who are doing harm to the civilians are in the wrong. The soldiers are there to kill the bad people, not to make a sick game out of killing innocent people.
James has a really good point, here. What if there is a bit more to the story? Was it truly a completely innocent a civilian? (Mmm... maybe I should go in and actually read the story. The conversation surrounding the article definitely makes it more interesting and makes me want to take a further look into it. Nice job, students!
