Back to hitting players?

Former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice won his appeal of his indefinite suspension for domestic violence and can now sign with any NFL team. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell issued Ray Rice, number 27 on the Baltimore Ravnes, a two game suspension for punching his at the time fiancee Janay Palmer unconscious in an elevator knocking her unconscious at an Atlantic City, New Jersey, casino in February. But after the elevator security video came out in September of Rice's one-punch knockout, the Baltimore Ravens released the three-time Pro Bowler, and his $35 million contract, and the NFL suspended him indefinitely. The appeals officer argued that Roger Goodell "double punished" Rice. He gave Rice a second, harsher punishment based on the same facts and knowledge of the case. Former U.S. District Court Judge Barbara Jones said "I do not doubt that viewing the video in September evoked horror in commissioner Goodell as it did with the public. But this does not change the fact that Rice did not lie or mislead the NFL at the June 16 meeting." Rice said in a statement he made Friday that this is an "inexcusable mistake" and he accepts full responsibility for what happened and he will work to become a better husband and eventually father while still giving back to the community. The NFL said in a statement that it respects the judge's decision, and that Rice is a free agent and would be eligible to play upon signing a new contract. Although Rice is now allowed to return to the league, the likelihood of him getting signed right away is highly unlikely. I do believe he will become a member of a team eventually but that will only happen after lots of community service and proof that he did it and when the publicity of this case dies down. He is a great running back and has great skills at this position and is also a great football player. I do think he should get signed because of all the other players in the NFL that have had various offenses and are still playing in the league.

He's Free?!

A St. Louis County grand jury declined to indict officer Darren Wilson, 28, for firing six shots that killed 18-year-old Micheal Brown. Crowds of protesters filled streets near the Ferguson police station following the announcement. Riots flared up across the area setting stores and a police car on fire, other stores were robbed, shots were fired and bricks were thrown. Police said they had been fired at and responded with smoke bombs, pepper spray, and tear gas. Protests sprang up all over the country but remained mostly peaceful except for a couple. Officer Wilson should not have been let off. It is more dangerous for him to be free because of all the people unhappy with the decision. He could get attacked and even killed himself. To some protesters even that would not be enough revenge for what he did to Micheal Brown.

AGAIN?!

More danger at the white house but this time the threat was stopped outside the grounds. The Secret Service arrested April Lenhart, a 23-year-old Michigan resident, at about 8:30 p.m. on Thursday on Pennsylvania Avenue near the North Lawn of the White House after she was spotted with a gun holstered under her shirt. It happened just minutes after the President delivered his speech on sweeping immigration changes he'll make by executive order. Obviously people are not happy about the immigration ruling Obama made with executive decision. People were outside of the White House already protesting the decision. It seems like every decision Obama makes backfires in his face in some way with the U.S. citizens getting mad about what he has done. Why cant the secret service keep this violence under control. They are supposed to be the best bodyguards in the world but they cant stop citizens from getting guns by the white house and crazy people with knives getting inside the white house.

Shots fired

Gunshots rattled a peaceful, packed Florida State University library early Thursday, with three students getting hurt as hundreds more huddled between bookshelves before police encountered and killed the gunman outside. One of the injured students is in critical condition and another is stable at Tallahassee Memorial hospital, the hospital said. The third victim, who was grazed by a bullet, was treated and released at the scene. Officers shot and killed the gunman within 3-5 minutes of the first shot fired. The school canceled all classes and exams Thursday in the wake of the shooting, offering counseling services to those directly and indirectly affected. 300 to 400 students filled Strozier library cramming at around 12:30 Thursday morning.

Monsters in synagogue

In a Jerusalem synagogue two Palestinian cousins wielding knives, axes and guns attacked the synagogue on Tuesday during morning prayers. Police responded quickly and killed the attackers inside the synagogue in West Jerusalem's Har Nof area. Six people were wounded, and three dual U.S.-Israeli citizens and a British-Israeli citizen had been killed. This is completely absurd, the fact that two guys busted into a religious building to shoot up the place is completely idiotic. Religious buildings are suppose to be safe places for citizens that do not want to be involved in the violence occurring in many parts of the world. The two guys who attacked the synagogue do not deserve to be dead they deserve to be sitting in prison for the rest of their lives thinking about the type of monster they are.

TOUCHDOWN!!

The European Space Agency (ESA) has landed on a comet. Rosettas Philae probe landed on the comet and will stay there for a few months running tests and discovering multiple things. They landed on the Comet 67P/Churyumov on November 12th this year.

This article has a great heading for the details given. The writer gave multiple supporting details about the landing and has accurate facts. This article makes  me want to dig deeper into more news articles so i can become more knowledgeable on many subjects. I think its very cool that they landed on a comet. They landed on a rock floating in the middle of an abyss, if that is not cool then i don't know what is. I think the writer could have been more straight to the point but overall it was a great article.

A disappointing prediction

Though I would like for republican Thom Thillis to win, sadly, I think democrat Kay Hagan will win. She made a good run in getting more people to vote for her and after that Thillis could not compare to it. He had more boots on the ground and was doing more to try to get votes but Kay Hagan had more money to spend and obviously had more vote. Hagan spent almost 22 million dollars on this midterm election. She has spent on average more money than anyone else has before. Is this the reason that she keeps winning? Apparently so which is very stupid because it should not be about who spends more money, it should be about who gets more votes based on how much they are liked by the state.
