Police: UA student stabbed roommate, left forged note
FROM: http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0906ua-killing0906-ON.html

SUMMARY:
A girl, Mia Henderson was found dead in her dorm room, at the University of Arizona, on Wednesday September 5, 2007. She had been complaining about a previous encounter with her roommate, Galareka Harrison, which dealt with personal property and theft, but no serious charges were made. It is believed that Harrison forged a note, and then proceeded to stab Henderson with a knife, while she was sleeping. The note was left to lead people into believing it was a suicide.

OPINION:
First of all… who chooses death by knife? Umm if I was going to kill myself (I’m not) it would defiantly be an easier way. Also, Harrison as the room mate is obviously the first suspect in this situation. Another fact that makes Harrison highly likely to be the murder is that she was accused of stealing from Henderson. I think this is a very open and shut case.

SUMMARY:
Paul Woods is driving across North America, on a lawn mower. He sates that it is his only means of transportation, because of the outstanding tickets he has. He also claims that people aren’t showing the “good side” of Americans. He has gotten many strange looks and rude comments, along with being shot at with a paintball gun. His final destination is Mystic, Connecticut; where his wife waits for him at a house his late mother left him.

OPINION:
WOW… this man is interesting. It seems to me that you would be expecting certain looks and gestures; Paul Woods seems like he is surprised at the un-kind things that have happened. If I saw him, or something similar, I am sure that there would be some form of laughter and rude comment said. I think that he is ridiculous to not expect such things. It appears that he is asking for this type of treatment.
