Black Lives Matter (Current Event)

   This is a article about 'Black Lives Matter' protesters still protesting in the middle of Interstate 93 northbound. And they blocked the interstate 93 southbound. Also this happended this morning. And the Massachusetts State Police is trying their best to end the protest. I got this from an online source, from the Worcester News website. This article has really caught my attention and made me want to read more about it.
   I agree on what the protesters are doing, but then again I see what the Massachusetts State Police are also trying to do. I like how the protesters are protesting about our Black race and how we are being killed by the white police and how white people are getting away with worst things. I completely understand that and this is something that is a start for people to finally say something about this and that we want a serious change to the would. However I do see what the police is trying to do and that is to stop the traffic. In my opinion they respect that they are protesting for to something important, but they are just doing their job and trying to have no traffic here. And they want them to protest at least on a side walk, where it is not causing traffic.
   I feel in between by reading this article for two reasons. One reason is because I would protest if I was older and for the right reasons. But I also would not want to go to jail for blocking and causing traffic. I did learn something new b by reading this article. I learned that there are people out here, other than black people who care about our race. And that's a good feeling because I used to feel like no one cares about my race.
   I feel more informed about what is going on in my area. And that to me is good because I didn't know that this was happening in my state. And it is always nice to know that my state is doing something right and try to have people see and hear the truth and reality when it comes to justice and race. This article didn't really inspired me, but in a way it kind of did inspired me. It didn't because I probably wouldn't join that protest and won't say nothing about it. But it kind of did inspired me because it proves that you should always fight for what is right and never give up on that until you are heard.

Current Event

   In this article that I read in the Worcester News website, it was something that caught my attention. The article was about two New York men who got arrested for getting caught with drugs. They got caught by the state police in Sturbridge. And I will like to say that it caught my attention because it is kind of funny. But this is also something serious, and everyone needs to learn from their mistakes.
   In my opinion, I think this is a good article for everyone to read. I believe so because it shows how serious it is to have drugs with you. You don't want to be the one to be having drugs with you because you will always have to watch your every move, just cause you know cops are everywhere. Also I think it is funny because if you don't want to go to jail, why even think about having drugs in the car with you while you travel ? Matter of fact, why would you sell drugs if you are not sneaky enough and you don't want to go to jail ? People are not using their knowledge anymore and when they do, they only use it for knowing about stuff like drugs. They use it for the bad, not the good and then they wonder why they are in jail and wonder why they are guilty. But as you know this is only my opinion.
   I agree of the fact that these men should be charged with drug possession. And I only agree because they shouldn't be having no type of drugs with them. And mind you it's Oxycodone pills. They shouldn't have even token the risk of traveling with it. Its their mistake and everyone, in my opinion, always have to deal with their consequences. And I believe this is a good way to deal with it. Or they could of done community service.
   I did learn something new by reading this funny article. I learned that people could be not that bright and do some dumb things. And I learned to never travel with drugs because you could go to jail. Because you will end up needing your family or friends to help bail you out and it might cost more than where the jails are in your regular state.
