Each year in the United States an estimated 6 million children are abused, five or more children die each day due to abuse and 80% of the children that die from abuse are under the age of 4 years old. Help make an example out of the offenders that are found guilty of child crimes. If there is enough evidence to find someone guilty of a child crime they deserve to spend a (LIFE SENTENCE) in prison without possibility of parole.

There is a law in Georgia that gives a person to gun down another person whom they thinks is going to harm them and to me that should not be because killing another person is not right. We suppose to lose or life for one another not kill each other because that is not what God intended.

This is terrorism plain and simple. Its a Hate crime because its one race targeting another race. Also bring it down to basics its murder for hire, conspiracy to commit murder, etc. Anyone else in America would have been arrested immediately for this. This is a criminal act and they must be brought to justice. Ever since this has happened the Zimmerman family has had to go into hiding and they have been subject to threats and intimidation. Even zimmermans unrelated to George Zimmerman have had to change their residence in order to protect themselves.

While Ted Stevens’ best friend Bill Allen and other oil executives were bribing Alaska’s legislators, including Ted's son Ben Stevens, corruption in Alaska grew to that critical mass necessary to enable corruption to become self sustaining with or without oil backed bribery schemes.

The Sheriff's Department of most counties is lead by an elected official. This is meant to be the office of a man or woman charged with protecting the public and serving them with respect to their personal liberties. However, it is often used as a weapon to curtail adult media and minority cultures that do not agree with the individual in charge. Just take the Sheriff of Polk County, FL, for example. Sheriff Grady Judd, has used his authority to prohibit the production and purchase of adult media and stifle the efforts of those that wish to organize peacefully. He is also responsible for forwarding department funds to churches and create policies that serve religious institutions best. This includes but is not limited to the arrest of Philip R. Greaves II, a man from Colorado. This kind of behavior should not be tolerated, and term limits are a solution.

Tryvon Martin death was unjustified and when has it been ok to defend one's self with a gun when the other person has no weapon. The law is being bent in this situation and it is time for JUSTICE.

City and county governments need to be urged to limit strip searches to persons suspected of involvement in drugs or violence. The Supreme Court has approved strip searches of everyone arrested, for no matter how minor a violation, but because it's legal doesn't make it right. Indeed, in the current overheated atmosphere of the national security state, with indefinite detention, arrests for peaceful protests, and SWAT teams proliferating, we need to cool off--and rebuke the Supreme Court for scrapping the Fourth Amendment.

If juvenile murderers are sentenced to life or had a former sentence of the death penalty then they should not be eligible for parole. The US Supreme Court will make this decision as early as June, 2012.
