The article I read this morning was about shooting that left to teenagers dead early Saturday Morning. Two teenagers ages 17 and 15 were shot to death after leaving a party. The 17 year old was identified as Monique Palmer. The 15 year old was Michael Taylor. Monique was a senior at Lincoln High School and Michael was a freshmen at Point Loma High School. Monique died at the scene and Michael died shortly after being taken to a near by hospital. The people that killed the appeared to be gang members. The street where they were shot was at San Jacinto and Groveland Drives.
I hope that the police find the killers soon. I hope that a lot of teenagers quit this partying thing because there has been many accidents. The scariest part of this is that I use to live right on the corner of these two streets.
An interesting fact that I read was that two men just walked up to the group of friends that Michael and Monique were with and fired shots and then took off.

When methadone was first proposed for the treatment of heroin addiction, it sounded like a pointless gambit — sort of like substituting vodka for gin. That's enabling addicts, critics said, not helping them.
More Relate
But over the years, maintenance treatment with methadone and other synthetic opiates like buprenorphine has proved successful — more than any other heroin-addiction therapy — in getting people off illicit drugs and lowering HIV transmission rates, crime and death among users. That success, in part, has got researchers wondering whether addiction to other drugs — namely to the stimulants cocaine and methamphetamine — could be curbed in the same way, by substituting a chemically similar alternative.
"It's an idea that really does need to be rigorously evaluated," says Frank Vocci, director of the pharmacotherapy division at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). "But right now there is more discussion than data."

In today's news I had read there had been a drug bust over in Oklahoma City. The police had found $500,000 worth of heroin and $100,000 in cash. They had got the names of 2 out of 5 people. Those people were Carlos Barrientos 36 Jose Guadalupe Arrellanos Meza 32. they have recovered 12-15 pounds of heroin. The undercover police were able to get several buys from them but were hard to trace where it was coming from. Neighbors said that there had been strange nights where there would be people going in and out of the house. The neighborhood feels that they are safer now that they are out of the hood. And they can move on with their lives.

Today I read in the union tribune that the boy who was kidnapped actually had to sleep in a fireplace while imprisoned. Turns out the boy was only 16. as the police searched the couples house, they found knives and bricks used to torture the boy. The kid says he was hit with a bat in the head regularly and he was cut with a knife. He also said he was strangled with a belt once until he lost consciousness. The boy said the couple turned on the fireplace while he was asleep and he got burned on his arm. The boy told police that he was forced to take pills, drink, and smoke weed to keep him in a lethargic state. The couple, Kelly Layne Lau and husband Michael Schumacher were charged with 13 accounts of abuse and former guardian Caren Ramirez was charged with 10 counts. Ramirez is his supposed guardian, she had told police that she was his mother and they took DNA and it showed that they weren’t even related. A CPS worker reported that the boy ran away from the Sacramento Children's Receiving Home and was missing since May 9, 2007.
I think this kid had the best week ever. He was in the news, he escaped from his captures and he gets a new home.

this morning in the san Diego union tribune I read about the thief who took from two jewelry stores in one night. The jewelry stores he took from where both in downtown, in fact they were in the same building. The name of the stores were; exclusive diamonds and a&j wholesale in the building on sixth avenue near f street. the man is described as 5’ 11” to 6 ft bald wearing black on black with a black leather jacket on top. The man was shown wearing a brown hat in most video recordings. both jewelry stores together are offering $2,000 for any information leading to the arrest of the thief. Crimestoppers is offering $1,000.

Today I read about how Casey Anthony was lying about the death of her little child. Saying that she dropped her off at the babysitter, and didn’t see her after that from the time of her death. When she really killed her child. They didn’t tell how. But she didn’t tell anybody till like a month after the death. She had put her child's picture on the board for missing kids. When the whole entire time she knew were she was, cuss she killed her. She lied to the police the whole time. And everybody thinks that it5s sooo wrong. Cuss this child was just supposed to be missing for a month. But the whole time she was dead and she was the only person that knew that, cuss she killed her. That’s when she called her mother and family a month after her death and told them the truth about the missing and death innocent of the child of hers. And after that they called the police. That’s when the started the case. She made them believe the wh0ole time that she can still be alive that she was only missing. She lied about a lot of things. She gave the police a false name of a babysitter and a address, the address was a place that had been shut down for a long time. They has dogs sniff her car, and they had smell the smell of a dead body that has been there already. I don’t know if they have found the body.
** I think its very sad that a mother would do something like that to their child, I hoe she gets what she has deserved.
