Business, Market, Government, Economy, Federal, News No Comments

When you have bad credit it can seem like a hole that you may never get out of. It is a big enough problem that there is a site just for people with bad credit to talk about it, get help, and even find bad credit credit cards! Just when you thought it was impossible to fix your credit, or get a credit card a site comes along to help you and others just like you in this time of stressfulness. Being able to fix your credit would be so freeing, to get rid of the nasty bill collectors that call, and getting your life on track. Having bad credit can ruin so much, it is great to be able to find resources to help you get out of this dark hole!

A man who spent 12 years in prison for a rape that he not even commit was released on Tuesday. He was the third inmate to be released because of problems with the Houston Police Department’s crime lab.  This is really messed up that Houston was putting people away for crimes that they did not even commit.  The prosecutor apologized, but is that really enough to make up for 12 years?

Michael Devlin has now also plead guilty to making child porn, after he has already had enough sentences brought down on him that he will die in prison.  This is the same pizza manager that kidnapped those boys and held them captive in his house.  I do not even know if life behind bars is enough punishment for this man, what he did is so beyond wrong.

In Orlando, Florida there is actually an ordinance not to feed the homeless people.  Eric Montanez was caught breaking this ordinance and is being put on trial for it.  It is sad times when we have laws against helping the less fortunate.  I am the kind of person who will stop and give homeless people a couple dollars or hand them some food, because I have so much to be thankful for myself.  This should not be an enforceable law.

An ex-manager of a pizza place was sentenced to life in prison Monday for kidnapping one of two boys and sexually assaulting them.  The boy was walking home alone from a bus stop when Michael Devlin kidnapped him and trapped the boy in his apartment.  This is proof that kids should not even walk home from a bus stop alone anymore, because there are some really sick people out there.

Video Cameras

A couple of cities around the country are looking into making security cameras a must have in certain areas.  In order to obtain any kind of building permit, if you are in a camera zone, you must be willing to put in a camera at your location.  I agree with having cameras in certain situations, but if these cameras are catching every offender of a traffic light that just turned from yellow to red light run, it is overkill!
