  • Three suspects held Monday in the death of a disabled woman are accused of beating her, putting a pepper seed in one of her eyes, and wrapping her arms and hands with bandages so she couldn't remove it, authorities said.

      I wonder what made these three people hurt and kill this disabled woman like that.
  • Investigators found Harms' body covered in bruises with marks on her wrists and ankles, Unified police spokesman Justin Hoyal said Monday.

      If the investigators found bruises on the woman, why haven't the three people been charged with battery yet?
  • Investigators believe the small, oval-shaped pepper seed found under one of Harms' eyelids would have caused a burning sensation, Hoyal said.

      Who would have even thought of putting a pepper seed in someone's eye? This is just horrible.

      This is very sad. I hope the daughter can recover well mentally. I can't even imagine a two year old losing their mom that young.

  • An 11-foot cross was stolen from a church and set on fire next to the home of a black family, igniting anger and disbelief in a prosperous, mostly white Central California community that hasn't seen a hate crime in nearly a decade.
    • Robyn Allen
      Robyn Allen on 24 Mar 11
       
      First of all how do you steal an 11 foot cross and not arise suspicion? And obviously people were hiding their feelings. I can't believe that this actually happened.
  • Police assigned extra patrols to the neighborhood in Arroyo Grande and rewards were offered for information leading to an arrest. Church leaders were urged to mention the family in their prayers.
    • Robyn Allen
      Robyn Allen on 24 Mar 11
       
      No offense to the church but I wouldn't want their prayers. It is pretty obvious that it was someone who goes to the church. It doesn't matter if they put noew patrols out. What will happen will happen.
  • “I was horrified,” said the Rev. Stephanie Raphael, president of the San Luis Obispo Ministerial Association. “We live in a paradise, and I think the first thought was, this can't really be real.”

  • A telephone call to the house was not answered Tuesday.
    • Robyn Allen
      Robyn Allen on 24 Mar 11
       
      What house? This sentence confuses me...
  • Police declined to release the names of the family members because the incident was considered a hate crime — the first since 2002 in the city of 17,000 people in mostly rural San Luis Obispo County, a region of vast farms, picturesque small towns and a state university campus.
    • Robyn Allen
      Robyn Allen on 24 Mar 11
       
      Once again an unnecessary statement. It happened. Let's do something to prevent more from happening instead of just sitting around looking at how long it's been since the last one!
  • “Any kind of hate crime is not a joke, it's not a prank,” Raphael told The Associated Press. “It's designed to intimidate and frighten. We live in a beautiful area but it's only beautiful if every single person feels safe conducting their lives and living here.”
    • Robyn Allen
      Robyn Allen on 24 Mar 11
       
      I honestly thought America had grown up. People are just so single minded and uneducated. I wish that people saw how we ar all the same. If we fall down we feel embarrassment and hurt when we scrape our knees. We learn, we cry, and we die the same way as everybody. Why are black people targeted as different? Couldn't they turn around and do the same thing?
  • No suspects had been identified and few tips were being received, even though $3,500 in rewards were offered.
    • Robyn Allen
      Robyn Allen on 24 Mar 11
       
      Why would anyone rat out a friend for $3,500? Especially somewhere that they had hate crimes... They sound like uneducated people.
  • There was no evidence that an organized racist group was involved, Hough said.

      Obviously they didn't get the message that it was redeemed.

      There really wasn't anything big I remember happening during Bush's reign. Maybe there were some iffy mergers that were overshadowed by the war. But I don't see a reason Obama feels the need to rule with an iron fist and try and make them not do a merger that would only benefit either company and most likely have a higher odd chance to benefit the public.

      Now what reason would you do this? I think this crime is pointless in doing. Just because you may not like MLK day or even MLK himself, you dont have to indanger people for a parade.

An as a result, you can see he tried to blow a entire parade up. This is why people die a lot. We take to much caution with people and then they end up killing people or hurting people around them. You cant watch everyone but at least try to do something to prevent deaths.

      I seriously doubt that customers will be confused by this, because they most likely won't have both the Apple and Amazon version.
  • One may suspect that Apple is actually mostly peeved that Amazon is trying to leverage off Apple's own successful brand to push sales of a rival smartphone and tablet PC platform
    • Steph Starr
      Steph Starr on 23 Mar 11
       
      I would agree with this statement. Apple is much more successful than Amazon, and even though they're more popular, they still seem threatened by Amazon. However, I still predict that Apple will win this case.

      What exactly was she doing in Nigeria and how was she arrested? Can U.S officials across international boarders to catch killers like Tata. I thought the Nigerian government would have to arrest her and give her to American officials. I don't know the process.

      Wait. There was a fatal fire? And this daycare was in her home? I am so lucky that I have never been in a daycare. I think I would be nervous to send kids to a daycare after this.

      How does the U.S have the right to over step another countries border's to arrest people who have only done a crime in America? I wish they could explain this a little bit. What would happen if she was also wanted in Nigeria for some other crime?
  • four counts of manslaughter, six counts of reckless injury to a child, three counts of abandoning a child under 15 and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

      Would this be good enough for capital punishment in Texas? And I am curious to know what do the parents think about Tata and her future punishment? Have the parents filed any charges privately?
  • while she was gone, the fire broke out on a stove-top burner that had been left on.

      Purnima Malik on 23 Mar 11
       
      And how exactly were bullet wounds found on the children. What would be her reason for leaving the children alone in her house, because shopping doesn't sound quite legit. I would never do that because I wouldn't want them messing up my stuff.

      I can't believe the man could be that stupid! I wonder if he was trying to be funny and make a joke.

  • but much of it is being directed at the victim.
    • destiny basnight
      destiny basnight on 21 Mar 11
       
      How could someone be upset with the victim of a rape case? Especially when there were about 12 suspects.
  • "But rape can be just bad as murder, and if they had killed an 11-year-old people would be outraged."
    • destiny basnight
      destiny basnight on 21 Mar 11
       
      I dont understand how if she was murdered people would be upset but because she was "just" raped its okay to be mad at her.
  • In Texas, the girl's mother says she has been receiving harassing phone calls from people asking for her daughter.
    • destiny basnight
      destiny basnight on 21 Mar 11
       
      Why are they calling looking for her and harrassing her instead of the boys that did this to her. Do they say why they are upset with her instead because this doesnt add up.

      Trying to find her for what?
  • Maria's daughter has told police that at least 20 teenagers and men attacked her on Thanksgiving.
    • destiny basnight
      destiny basnight on 21 Mar 11
       
      Why would a big group of 20 boys grab just one girl to rape when theres so many of them and why one so young?
  • Some are pointing a finger at the victim's parents.
    • destiny basnight
      destiny basnight on 21 Mar 11
       
      How would her parents have anything to do with her being raped?
  • "Where were they when this girl was seen wandering at all hours with no supervision and pretending to be much older?"
    • destiny basnight
      destiny basnight on 21 Mar 11
       
      It doesnt matter where they were the fact is their daughter was raped and she could have lied about where she was but a lot of teenagers do and people cant act like no one ever lies about where they are or their age or anything like that she was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
  • Maria told the Chronicle she believes her daughter may have been seeking attention in the past and says she and her husband had once questioned their daughter about a lurid photo of a boy that was found on a cell phone she used, but she says the boys should have known better.
    • destiny basnight
      destiny basnight on 21 Mar 11
       
      Its a fact that majority of teen girls seek attention at one time or another and she could have came off a certain type of way but that doesnt give anyone the right to rape her.
  • "These guys knew she was in middle school,"
    • destiny basnight
      destiny basnight on 21 Mar 11
       
      Thats disgusting especially because they were between 17 and 27
  • The suspects claim they did not know her age,
    • destiny basnight
      destiny basnight on 21 Mar 11
       
      It does not matter how old she is the point is that they raped her whether shes 10 or 35 its wrong
  • "When you see five young men take advantage of an 11-year-old girl," Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith told The Detroit News, "it is our job to make sure they pay for it."
    • destiny basnight
      destiny basnight on 21 Mar 11
       
      This is how everyone in the others girls story should feel.
  • Maria says she has received so many angry phone calls that the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services has placed her daughter in foster care for her own safety.
    • destiny basnight
      destiny basnight on 21 Mar 11
       
      This is rediculous because why should a girl who was already violated and taken advantage of be scared to walk out of her own door to go to school. They're just making things worst for her.
  • I don't have any knowledge of that at all," he said. "[But] there has been some upset parents of those who were taken into custody, but of course I mean something like this in a small community tends to cause unrest for a lot of people."
    • destiny basnight
      destiny basnight on 21 Mar 11
       
      They're community is taking it the wrong way and need to see that when something is wrong its wrong and for the most part thats it. If someone is murdered is it the victims fault?
