Another Day, Another Douchbag

Every once in while there is the exceptional douchbag that comes along that rejuvenates my motivation in why I have chosen to study criminal justice and work in the law enforcement field. Time and time again and day after day I cross paths with the same drunks and degenerates, but knowing that people like Casey Anthony are behind bars allows me to find some solice in that fact. No, she has not yet been convicted of murdering her two year old daughter Caylee, but nonetheless, law enforcement is not taking any chances of recreating the JonBenet Ramsey incident.

In case you are not familiar with the Caylee Anthony situation, the child is two years old, and her 'disappearance' wasn't reported to the authorities for approximately a month. She went "clubbing" shortly after her daughter's disappearance and had stated that she wished she had given the child up for adoption. Well, you should have!

Evidence has been collected that shows that a decomposing body was, in fact, in the vehicle belonging to Casey, the child's mother. The mother still claims that she is innocent and is pleading for the public to search for her daughter. HELLO! You killed her! Stop waisting everyone's time with your drama and admit what you've done and let your daughter's memory be salvaged with some kind of dignity!

This woman is in jail on other charges as well, including check fraud. This doesn't mean she's a killer in and of itself. But law enforcement is making sure that she stays in jail until they find Caylee's body. It's pathetic that this woman is sitting in jail and letting the poor grandparent's continue to drag lakes for their dead granddaughter's body when she could just say where she is and let them give her some kind of memorial. Instead she wants to let it drag on in the hopes that her daughter's body will not be found and that without the body they won't have a case against her. Wrong, Casey. Cases are prosecuted without the body everyday.

Casey Anthony is the exact depiction of human scum. Her valueless life, similarly to that of other worldly scum, has effected yet another innocent human life. Because of her desire to party, feel good, and rebel against her parents and the system, a sweet little child lost her life in God only knows what kind of horrific way. I hope that Casey Anthony receives the death penalty for her actions. It is unfortunate however, that they will ultimately have to take that penalty of the table to get the truth out of her about the crime she has committed.

No I Didn't

I feel like I have entered the "Twilite Zone." Headlines on CNN such as "Kenya Declares National Holiday" and "Obama Win Overwhelms Africa"... not to mention "Black Kennedy" or "Obama, Bigger Than Football", are sounding somewhat audacious at this point. Did the the United States elect their next President or did the human race come upon a savior who will inspire global change?

Every time I turn around there is another person making the statement, "Yes, I did!", proudly implicating that they voted for Obama and are ready for a change. I have seen t-shirts and stickers stating, "I Voted Obama-Biden". People are hugging and hopeful and then there is me, cynical and annoyed. I just want to yell, "NO I DIDN'T!", back at them.

Realistically, I knew that Obama was going to win. The younger generation and pretty much anyone who wasn't white was going to vote for him. This is a comprehensive amount of the population. Anyone fearful of another Bush ending up in office voted for Obama as well. Younger people want change. However, they lack the life experience to understand how change must be conveyed. Minorities were so concerned with making history and overcoming oppression that they let winning supercede logic and cast their votes based on race. To consider McCain to be anything similar to Bush is ludicrous. McCain might not be the ideal candidate for President but he certainly isn't the terrorist that Bush is.

Honestly, I really hope that Obama will be able to achieve all of the grand accomplishments that he has been giving speeches and debating about and has been able to get the world enraptured over. Obama has promised alot and has taken on the responsibilty of changing the lives of millions of American citezens. Personally, I don't think that I should be criticized for having extreme doubts about this stranger.

We will see what the future will bring. Maybe Obama "can" or maybe he will fuck all up even worse. The best thing about America is that either way, it's on our shoulders because we gave him the job and all of his new found power... our future and our children's future in the palm of Barak Hussein Obama's hands. Comforting.
