Cannibal fantasy child killer sent to death row

Summary:
In Oklahoma Kevin Ray Underwood was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death by injection after nearly two years ago he murdered, tortured, sexually asualted, and trid to cut off her head. The 10 year old girl lived just above Underwood and after she went missing the police conducted a statewide search. Underwood seemed suspicious when checked by police and he let them search his apartment. Police then found the little girls body naked in a tb in his closet. Underwood admitted to having canabalistic fantasies about the girl but the evidence showed there was none. Underwoods attorneys plan to appeal the decision on the fact that he was mentaly ill and that medication can fix him.

Opinion:
Just reading the story makes me sick. Who could do that especially to a little girl, she’s only ten years old? I think a man like this deserves to suffer whatever way possible. To have the nerve to take her little body and torture and rape her like that and then want to eat her is just beyond my mind. People like Underwood deserve to rot ans suffer as long as they can and maybe they’ll realize what they’ve done, but I find it hard to believe that people like that could really change.


Tornado leaves Little Rock like 'war zone'

Summary:
A severe tornado ripped through Arkansas Thursday evening leaving a lot of damage, like a war zone. It hit the North Little Rock Airport and those there had a real scare. One man was recorded saying that he saw plains stacked up and even saw one DC-3 spinning around and after the tornado it was nowhere to be found. A mobile home parlk about 12 miles away is Saline county saw nearly 15 mobile homes catch on fire and one man his fiance and two children just barely escaped. “It was a war zone,” the man said after seeing 5 or 6 trailers on top of each other.

Opinion:
It sounds real serious. The whole thing with the planes flying around and the mobile homes catching on fire, I would be scared our of my mind. I remember when I was younger when they said a tornado may hit Phoenix I freaked out. I thought I was going to die. I know I was only like ten, but to actually see it and see all this stuff happening must be real frightening. I can’t even imagine how much money it would take to fix it.

Thousands hit by Brazil outbreak of dengue

Summary:
More than 55,000 cases of dengue, a sometimes deadly mosquito virus, have been reported in Brazil in the past four months. The disease has killed 67 people this year in Rio de Janeiro. In Brazil the bed are filling up and now there are not enough beds to take care of this epidemic, as they are calling it. The wait for the hospital has gone from eight to almost twenty-eaight hours. One father went from hospital to hospital knowcking on doors to get someone to look at his son. He said, “I’m just watching my son die slowly.” The CDC says that there are over 10 million cases around the world each year, it is actually quite common, but in Brazil they seem to have a serious epidemic.

Opinion:
I don’t know exactly what dengue is but it sounds pretty bad. I remember when everyone here was scared a while back over the whole west nile thing, but this sounds a lot worse. Here in Brazil where conditions are not always what you can find here many people are getting real sick and dying. And obviously because they only have so many beds and people aren’t getting the right treatment or any at all and they are dying.

Owen Hargreaves axed because of disciplinary problems

Summary:
Owen Hargreaves strangely sporadic appearance for Manchester United this season has not bee due to the manager’s (Sir Alex Fergusson) disapproval of his form of late, but rather his poor timekeeping. The player has turned up late for several team meetings and occasions. The ex Bayern Munich midfielder who is known for his dogged performance in midfield and harwork has found himself fourth or even fifth choice in midfield this year, sometimes even played at left-back. Hargreaves was signed from Munich at an estimated £20.2 million. This revelation has astounded many given the player’s reputation as a model professional. But sources at Old Trafford have indicated that Ferguson has been unhappy with Hargreaves’s lack of punctuality. He was late to arrive at Manchester airport on Monday morning before the squad flew to Italy for their Champions League quarter-final, first leg away to AS Roma midweek.

Opinion:
I’ll admit I am socked by this revelation too. I wondered, so too my brother, why he wasn’t getting as much playing time as people like Giggs or Carrick or Scholes. Sir Alex paid £20.2 million for him and he sits the bench a lot. But now that I know why I am proud of him for it. It teaches those watching that you cannot get away with whatever you want and still play all the time. You have to obey the team rules and apparently he could not. I just hope he finally learns his lesson cause this is just lame. He is a professional and should have no problems being there on time; this is his only job, plus I enjoy watching him play. I was excited when he first moved to United.
