Larry White

Today in the superior court of San Francisco a man was convicted on two counts of rape. All of this rape and robbery took place in the south market area in SF and it happened in 1998.I was kind of confused on why they took so long to convict him of his crimes.I mean yeah better late than never but still i think he should have been caught a long time ago, not today already a decade later.The judge sentenced him to 50 years to life in prison which will make the victims pretty happy but still not satisfied, i think they want him to take the death sentence.It's good that we have all this high tech technology today or they would have probably never caught him. But they did and it was all a big thanks to technology and the DNA they retrieved from the victims, but I'm not saying it's all good and everybody is ok because it's not, but at least the guy is paying for it with the rest of his life.

The 1st Amendment

The first amendment to me means a lot. It's also one of the reasons a lot of people from other countries come to our country, to escape from their own countries amendments. That is why our country is so popular, because we don't judge anybody on what they believe in or what they say. They have freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition. I'm really glad to have been born in this country, because in other 3rd world places you don't get the same treatment as you do in the states. You can't say anything bad about the government or you could be sent to execution, unlike america you can make fun of the government with having to worry about anything. And you also are told what to believe in, but here you can believe in what ever you want. I think the 1st amendment is one of the things that makes this country one of the greatest in the world. I'll admit there are somethings you can't do that violates the 1st amendment, but that's only obscene things or that is false information or if it may endanger life or cause harm. It's not perfect but it's better than nothing or other countries policies.
