Racial, Ethnic, & Religious Profiling

Wow...  The Justice Department is preparing to unveil new guidelines that ban racial, ethnic, and religious profiling in federal investigations.  Maybe it is me, or I do not understand the article.  I was under the impression that “racial, ethnic, and religious profiling” was not allowed in law enforcement agencies; however, we all know to a certain extent it has been going on for many years…  Supposedly “profiling” was banned for some time now.

So, something that has been banned for quite some time; now all of a sudden, they are going to unveil new guidelines that ban racial, ethnic, and religious profiling from our law enforcement agencies.  I guess now they are going make new guidelines for something that has been banned or supposedly not happening.

In summary, there is racial, ethnic, and religious profiling happening on a daily basis by people in society and/or in our law enforcement agencies.  Regardless of the new guidelines, I believe that our law enforcement agencies will continue profiling.

19 Years old & wasted his life…

Hi everyone, the weekend has come and left.  Tomorrow is the start of a new work week and school.

Wow, I was just reading the news and cannot believe the bad choices individuals make.  Has anyone seen and/or read the article regarding the “N.J. man arrested in Orlando in deadly Christmas strip-club shooting.”  This 19 year old allegedly killed three people and injured two just because the bouncer refused to let him in the premises; plus the bouncer noticed he was armed and told him he could not enter with a weapon.

This gentleman has just thrown his life of freedom away…  Poof, gone, locked-up for life, or even the possibility of the death penalty.  He is going to pay a hefty price for poor judgment on his behalf.  Yes, I understand there could have been a possibility of him being under the influence of drugs or alcohol that impaired his judgment.

Really!!!  Let’s throw a tantrum because the bouncer did not let him enter the premises.  Then he has the audacity to come and hide in his mother house here in the Sunshine State.  At the end of all this, he will pay a hefty price because of his lack of judgment.  

The Red Market

I am currently reading the following book...  "The Red Market: On the Trail of the World's Organ Brokers, Bone Thieves, Blood Farmers, and Child Traffickers"  I am appalled at how the human body has become a commodity.  We usually refer to commodity as raw material, but I guess that is not the case.  The book goes into some detail of what one human will do to other human beings just to gain profit.  You will read about the child whom disappeared from the streets of Chennai (overseas) and come to find out he was adopted by a Christian family in the American Mid-west.  The story is very heartbreaking and  I cannot imagine what the family has gone through with the disappearance of their child.  There are also these blood farmers in India, which they pay humans to donate their blood (illegal to do).  The legal way is to donate blood, point blank.  In India (per pint) $25.00 and in the US (per pint) $337.00...  Wow!  We donate blood and the US (medical field) makes a huge profit from us, in general.  Let's think for a minute...  A person needs a blood transfusion and the amount they charge per pint, for the procedure, and etc.  The book is really interesting!!!
