Summary: A man by the name of Jesus Jara was found guilty by the Maricopa County Supreme Court for the murder of two teenagers in a sandwich shop. The two teenagers were Guillermo Rodriguez Sanchez and Rafael Encinas Rios both 17 years of age. The shooting took place last November, and Jara will be sentenced on October 18. The parents of both of the victims were at the trial and Sanchez’s father said, “justice was made for our son.” Jose Bustos, the triggerman, was found guilty last month.

Opinion: I believe both men got what they deserved. I believe that these men should be put on death row at the least. Any man that kills another man willfully should be killed also. In the bible it says that thou shall not kill. God forgives everyone but any action has a consequence. For murder the consequence should be death row.

Summary: Hurricane Dean, a category 5 hurricane, hit Tulum along Mexico’s Maya Riviera coast. Despite soldiers warning people to leave their villages, some people stayed put. It will be days and possibly weeks till they know the total of people missing and the damage caused by this hurricane.

Opinion: I believe that we as the United States should send support. Whether we send supplies or people, something needs to be done to help these people. When another country is in need of help, we as the United States should allow God to shine through us and give a lending hand.
