Penalties Upheld For Jason Feger After Appeal

     Jason Feger was caught doping tires after his $20,000 victory at the Illini 100. Tire dope is a chemical substance inserted into the tire that makes it preform better. Jason appealed this case and lost giving the win to Billy Moyer from our home town.

      Jason tried to get this case overturned but after the following test the tire failed he lost. In an article on one dirt.com it states, "Not to long ago we brought you word of Jason Feger’s disqualification from his emotional victory at the 2013 Illini 100. Feger’s tire sample was deemed to have a banned substance in the tire. Feger planned on appealing the ruling based on the harsh penalties." This is a good thing that they are disqualifying  people who cheat their tires and receive the unfair advantage. I kinda don't feel bad for Feger because he knew when he cheated they would catch him so it is his fault. also it states,"We just received the official statement from the World of Outlaws Late Model Series and it appears that Feger’s penalties will be upheld." I think its a real good thing WOO realized this to the public so everyone can see Jason is a cheater. He deserves every thing that is going to happen to him.

       Jason will be getting heavy penalties and fines for his actions taken. Onedirt.com states his penalties,"Disqualification from the event, including loss of all purse money and championship points earned in the event(s). (Purse money total $20,050 in addition to $400 tire analysis fee plus event trophy. All prize money and winnings must be returned within 5-business days from May 1, 2013.)
A loss of 1,000 championship points for the 2013 season.A fine of $3,000, A suspension from all World of Outlaws Late Model Series and DIRTcar UMP Late Model events for three (3) consecutive months (May 1, 2013, until August 1, 2013), Additionally, be placed on probation following the conclusion of the suspension for the remainder of the 2013 racing season (technical in nature), Any subsequent violations may result in a higher fine schedule and/or additional loss of points and/or suspension (including indefinite) and/or parking of the team." These are very harsh but it is the only way to stop the tire doping epidemic. I dope my tires now but haven't raced in a series where they check for it and i see the advantage you receive from doing it. Also the article states what jason said about the decision,"The test isn’t lying,there’s definitely stuff in that tire, but I didn’t knowingly put that stuff in there to soften the tire. You just take for granted when (a cleaning product) says biogradeable, non-toxic or whatever – you don’t think it can soften rubber or even soak into the rubber. We’ve since learned that the chemical that we use to wash our tires contains bad stuff. I got online and there’s a material safety sheet for the product, and it definitely has the chemicals that people use to soften tires. And from what I can tell, the (plastic) wrapping we used on the tires to keep the dust and stuff off them over the winter time must have held the stuff in and not let it gas out or whatever it does compared to normal.” This is one of the stupidest explanations I have heard he should have admitted to his guilt and taken his penalties like a man. I think throwing him out is the best thing showing other drivers that they will be caught!

      Jason won't be able to race in some huge races this summer and it might show people not to cheat tires so this doesn't happen to them. Billy gets the $20,000 paycheck so I think he will be glad Jason got caught!

Boston Bombing

          The time to get answers is now because bomber suspect #2 is in custody and is responding by nodding his head to questions the FBI has. On Friday they caught him in a boat badly injured from the shoot out the night before where his brother was killed.

          Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is in serious condition from the gun fight on Thursday night but is starting to respond. In an article by CNN it states, " Despite being seriously wounded and heavily sedated, the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings is answering brief questions from authorities by nodding his head, a source with first-hand knowledge of the investigation told CNN Monday." This is a break through for America because everyone wants answers and they want them now. Everyone deserves to know why he and his brother did it and justice should be served. Also it states,"Investigators are going into Tsarnaev's room at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston every few hours to ask questions in the presence of doctors."This is good because the doctors are still trying to bring him to health but the investigators keep asking questions in case he dies. Hopefully we will get the answers we want before he dies.

     It is still difficult for investigators to get the information they need but any little thing right now will help. The article states, "Tsarnaev, who is on a ventilator and restrained, has been hospitalized since authorities took him into custody Friday night after finding him hiding in a boat in the back yard of a Watertown, Massachusetts, home." This is the main reason it is hard for him to communicate. The investigators are doing the right thing and I think they will have answers soon enough. It also states, "While authorities say Bostonians can rest easier now that the two suspects are accounted for, nagging questions hinder any total sense of security: Why would the assailants want to kill or maim throngs of innocent civilians, and could this happen again?" The people need to let the investigators do their jobs and not bother them with questions right now. They will have the answers soon enough if they will just stay patient.

         This is just one more track to America and we need to wake up before they start killing more and more people. Our nation is falling and we must stop it but everyone will have to work together.

Chicago woman has her grandson kill his grandfather

     Family killing family, this makes me sick and all I can think about is what is wrong with America. I can make a text to world connection to this because this kind of stuff is starting to happen a lot in the world and it is showing how fast we a going down hill.
     
       In Chicago a woman named Janet Strickland had her teenage grandson kill his grandfather. In the article it says, "A 64-year-old Chicago woman has been accused of commissioning her teen grandson to kill her husband as he awaited a ride to a dialysis appointment last month." This is not right why would anyone even think about having her grandson go out and kill his grandpa. This woman should be given life in prison for doing this. It also says,"Janet Strickland was charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery, but was not in court because she is being treated at a hospital for a lung disease." Why would she have her husband killed when she is about to die from lung disease? also I don't see why she is being charged with robbery. 
 

    This boy must not have been thinking or been really tight on cash to do something like this. In the article it says, "Authorities say Janet Strickland gave her 19-year-old grandson, also named William Strickland, her husband's gun, and let the teen use her car the morning of the murder." This is bad the man was shot with his own gun and used his car as a get away car. I really don't see why the lady had her grandson do it because there was no way to get away with it. It also says, "Janet Strickland allegedly watched the teen kill his grandfather, and then took him shopping for a new car. The teen also allegedly used money from his grandfather's wallet to buy shoes and tattoos, among other things. " This just shows how sick she is because she watched it happen and went car shopping after. She ruined her grandsons life and she doesn't even care that he had his whole life ahead of him.

       This is just one messed up story that doesn't make any sense at all and I really hope they release more information in the future.

Forgiveness

I dont think a worlord that kidnaps children, forcing them to be soldiers or sex slaves for over 20 years should be forgiven. Anyone who is sick enough to mess with children doesn't deserve forgiveness but they do deserve death. Children should never be touched or harmed because they have their whole life ahead. Being kidnapped will ruin every bit of their life ahead and they will never be able to live out their dreams because they will be so messed up after being sold for sex or killing people. The person responsible for this shouldn't be forgiven in my book because kidnapping is one of the worst crimes in my book. This is the kind of thing when Kony kidnapped kids, killed their parents and sold them for sex or made them fight in his army. This man should never be forgiven for the act of violence he commited. Why do people do these things? This is something I will never understand, I think it is the way kids are raised these days. This is why some people should not be forgiven.

Jeremy Clements suspended indefinitely by NASCAR

    What is Racism? Is it something our world takes to seriously? Well Nascar takes it really serious when a racist remake is made. I can make a text to self connection to this because I race and I have accidently made racist remakes myself.

      Jeremy Clements the Nationwide driver was Indefintely suspended by NASCAR for a racist remark made while talking to a reporter. In a report on wesh.com it says, "Nationwide Series driver Jeremy Clements has been suspended indefinitely by NASCAR for the apparent use of a racial slur during an interview last weekend with a reporter at Daytona International Speedway." This is the same day as he was involved in a big crash so he was very mad and in a bad mood. I understand how mad he was because after someone wrecks you it makes your tempers flare. In another part they say, "NASCAR officials refused to discuss the incident, saying only that Clements uttered an "intolerable and insensitive remark" that violated the sport's Code of Conduct for actions detrimental to stock car racing. NASCAR's rule book prohibits "public statement" if it criticizes, disparages or ridicules individual(s) for color, creed, race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, age, handicapped condition or marital status." This is in the rule book that he has read and he should accept the conquences that come with his remark. They should give him a warning for his first offence but NASCAR has the right to do whatever they want with their series.

      This isn't any reason to kick him out forever. In the article it says, "Clements released a statement that said, 'I apologize and regret what I said to the NASCAR writer and to NASCAR, my sponsors, my fans, and my team.'" This shows how sorry he is for what he said and NASCAR should take that in and give him another chance. Luckily I'm not in NASCAR or the same thing may of happened to me because they don't care but he was really sorry so they should rethink his suspension. also he says, "I will not get into specifics of what I said, but my comment to the writer was in no way meant to be disrespectful or insensitive to anyone or to be detrimental to NASCAR or the NASCAR Nationwide Series. I will do what I need to do in order to atone for my error in judgment.'' This shows it was a spur of the moment deal and he didn't mean it. I have done the same thing he did hear but NASCAR took this in a bad way and this is why they should let him back in.

     Jeremy Clements is a great driver and should be reinstated to NASCAR because his remark was accidental. I know a lot of people disagree but he should get another chance and I will cheer him on all the way.

Hunt for a Las Vegas shooting suspect

        What is our world coming to? People are killing each other left and right in the world we live in. I can make a text to world connection to this article because it show how are country is failing.
   
         In Las Vegas last week a man pulled a gun out and shot a up and com in rapper that then crashed into another car killing 2 more people. In the article it says, "Harris is accused of firing shots into a Maserati last Thursday, killing aspiring rapper Kenny Cherry, and causing a crash and explosion that killed two other people in a taxi at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. The incidents happened on the boulevard near the Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Bally's and Flamingo resorts, police told the Associated Press." This is crazy because this man had a bright future and didn't do anything to deserve his life to be ended that we they know of. This also is crazy because the guy shot him in the middle of town where people could see him and not caring about the bystanders. It also says, "Cherry, 27, was driving his Maserati when police say a shooter from the black Range Rover SUV peppered his car before it sped through a red light and smashed into a taxi, killing driver Michael Boldon, of Las Vegas, and his passenger, Sandra Sutton-Wasmund of Maple Valley, Wash.." This shows he didn't care for anyone else because he killed two people that had no involvement in the reason he killed Cherry. The two people could have had children but Harris doesn't care he just killed their parents for no reason, that is really messed up.

    In the article it also says, "On Saturday afternoon, police found a black Range Rover SUV – believed to be connected to the shooting -- at an apartment complex east of the Las Vegas Strip. A SWAT team didn't find Harris at his home in the complex, but the vehicle has been impounded as evidence." The guy drove that car back to his house after the shooting which is stupid but thats the problem to many stupid people in America. This is what got him caught  and gives the police more evidence to find him. the article states, "Police said the shooting stemmed from an altercation between Cherry and Harris in a valet area of the upscale Aria resort a block south of the crash scene at Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road." This is a big part of our world problems because everyday people get killed over stupid stuff like this. Our world is so messed up that a man gets killed alone with two innocent people and its not that big of a deal to america because stuff like this happens everyday.

    America needs to wake up because we are headed down hill because this stuff happens way to often and needs to be stopped.

Missouri teen allegedly handcuffed to pole in parents' basement for months

       How could you inprison a teenager? I recently went on foxnews.com and found an article where a Missouri father doesn't think it is wrong to handcuff his 17 year old son to a pole in his basement. I can make a text to world connection to this because there are some really crazy people in this world we live in.

 

       In the article the father withdraws his 17 year old from school in September only to lock him in their basement and feed him very little food. In the article they state, " 'I then observed a thin frail looking male getting out of the fetal position on the concrete floor around a steel support pole,' Officer Jonathan Stone wrote in the report. 'The teen was handcuffed to the pole and looked very thin for his height, with a sunken face and eyes that "had a look of desperation.' ". This is something I can relate to our world because it just shows how bad it is getting in America, this kind of stuff should never happen. The way our country is these days people do this kind of thing all the time and dont think it is wrong for them to torture their child! Later in the article it states, "He told police that his father would wake him each day at 4 a.m. to use the bathroom and give him a packet of dried oatmeal. In the afternoon, he would again be allowed to use the bathroom and would get a packet of noodles to eat. Later, he would get two bologna sandwiches and a glass of water before being locked up for the night.". That is not the way anyone should treat a child, he is a parent not a kidnapper he should be raising this kid instead of starving him. This is whats wrong with America because that boy will now think it is all right to do this and his dads parents didn't teach him it was wrong so that's why he did it.

 

        There was another adult in the home and they didn't do anything about this problem. The article states, "Another adult in the home told police that the teen was "locked downstairs because in December they let him upstairs and he ate almost an entire bowl of fruit at one time."' That is no reason to lock this boy downstairs to a pole. The other adult should have done something soon as this happened! Also in the article they say, "The case comes several months after Kansas City police found a 32-pound girl barricaded inside a closet that reeked of urine. That child's mother is scheduled for trial in June on assault, child abuse and child endangerment charges. The mother's 35-year-old boyfriend pleaded guilty in October to endangering the child and was sentenced to five years' probation."  This is crazy because it shows people do this kind of thing all the time. The police should give the parents 25 years in prision instead of 5 years probation and let them know what it feels like to be locked up.

     

       Once again this article shows how messed up our country is getting. When parents can lock their children up with no food or water and feel right about it they should have the same thing done to them. The government needs to crack down on this and not let the people get off with just a slap on the wrist. I really hope our country gets better but it doesn't look like it is going to happen.

Alleged murderer captured in Ash Flat

     Murder. This is something that does not always happen in Ash Flat Arkansas and in cold blood like it did on Saturday January 5th right in front of our GMC dealership. I heard about the murder of Severin Simpson a local drug dealer from the Batesville Guard's facebook profile, this mad me pick up Monday's Guard Paper and read this. I am really aginst murder but in this case it sounds like a thug just shot another thug to me.

      This was a cold blooded murder where Chris Bryant shot his so called best friend in the head.
In the paper Angelia Roberts (a reporter) states that around 4:32 A.M. the Ash Flat police got a call about a one car crash where they found 25 year old Severin Simpson shot in the head. This is crash happened right in front of our dealership in Ash Flat in a ditch that I have been in several times so i can really make a text to self connection here because i have been where they found the man dead.This is important because I have been there alot and I didnt think there was a bad drug ring there and I thought it would be safe to be out there but i now know it is not safe and nowhere is safe. Mrs. Roberts also states that 34 year old Heather King, a passenger, was still at the scene. This is crazy because if I would have been in the car I would have done something because I would have been so scared. This makes me think she was not scared or drugged out of her mind.
 
    There are many things that point to Heather not being involved but I personally think she was.
My dad told me that it took Heather 5 minutes after the the shooting and crash for her to call the cops because we have the security footage. This is crazy because if a shooting happened I would call the cops as soon as I could. This makes me think she had some involvement in the shooting of her boyfriend. In the article Heather says she had fallen asleep and the gun woke her up just in time to see her boyfriends head fall and she tried to stop the car crash. I watched the tape from that night and there is no possible way she tried to stop the crash because the car went right into the ditch. This makes me question why she is lying and I really think she was involved and hope to see this looked into a little better.

    This murder doesn't make a lot of sense to me because how can you kill you best friend let alone while he is driving the car and that could have killed them all. Also why did it take Heather so long to call the cops if she tried to stop the crash? I really can make a text to self connection with this story because I watched the tape of it happening and it makes me really question the newspaper article in some sense but the shooter is behind bars and that is all that matters!
