These are some interesting articles that you have here. One article that I found particular interesting was the article about parking fines in Tallahassee going to elementary schools. Its real awesome that the parking fines were donated instead of kept by the state. These unselfish deeds remind me of the time I was doing community service at the local church in my hometown. We were feeding the homeless lunches every Sunday and while were handing out sandwiches I could see the joy us regular civilians were giving to these homeless people.
ReplyDeleteHey Franco,
ReplyDeleteI think that you have some really good articles, but the one that caught my attention was the second article about the baby. I think that it is happening too many cases like that, and no one is doing anything to prevent it. This is becoming a problem in other countries as well like Brazil, every week a see a case about a child missing.
Hey Franco,
ReplyDeleteAll these articles are very interesting, being from Orlando the UCF frat one really interests me. I have heard things about certain frats at UCF and this suspension doesn't surprise me. That story about the baby is so sad and highlights a real problem in Miami. It takes a sick person to murder the three women taking care of the baby and to then kidnap the baby.
