I am trying to raise funds for Robert Johnson's funeral costs. I have had the privilege of working with Rob for the past several years at the American Steakhouse in Dexter, Mo. And I consider myself lucky to have been able to call Robert my friend, one of the best friends I will ever have. Although at first, I thought he was so different and odd, I soon found him to be so kind and one of the most caring people I have ever met. He would literally do anything for you if he considered you his friend. His smile and laugh was contagious and he lightened the mood in any room he entered. Two weeks ago, Robs brother Chris came into work indicating Rob was ill and was not coming to work. This was very unusual for Rob, as he never missed work. After

Another case is that of 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson whose death was initially ruled the result of accidental suffocation. A second autopsy produced a different conclusion, but when the second autopsy was performed, his body had been stuffed with newspaper, and his organs were missing ("Organ Trafficking, Melanin Theory & the Fountain of Youth -," n.d.). The brain, heart, lungs and liver were missing. He also discovered Johnson's death was due to blunt force trauma to the right side of his neck (Archer,
On November 7th, 1943, Joni Mitchell was born as Roberta Joan Anderson in Fort Macleod, Canada. Her family eventually moved to North Battleford and then Saskatoon; both of which are cities in the Saskatchewan providence of Canada. She considers Saskatoon, Canada to be her hometown. At the young age of nine years old, Mitchell contracted polio, but she managed to recover and regain her ability to walk after a stay in the hospital. Joni Mitchell’s interest in folk music began in her adolescent years. She was self-taught on how to play the ukulele and ultimately, the guitar. Mitchell started performing at parties and among the folk songs sang were some original ones she wrote herself. Thus, Joni Mitchell’s songwriter and singer career began. She, however, was more interested in pursuing art at the time.
Bobby (Robert) Joe Long is a sexual offender/ predator flyer registered in the state of Florida, and he committed crimes in the early 1980’s (Tumblr, n.d.). Long was also a serial killer, and his violent sexual acts occurred for a long period of time around the Tampa Bay Area. The convicted killer and rapist grew up in an unstable home, where his parent’ relationship was on and off over time. Since the offender committed robbery, rape and murder, it is likely that there was a strong desire to control others. Long was called “Classified Ad Rapist”, and he responded to the ads targeting women who were alone at home (Tumblr, n.d.). Even though, he had been tried for rape, he was not convicted, and his violent murderous tendencies escalated. Over time he started visiting backstreet locations, seedy bars and prostitution, looking for vulnerable victims who were alone.
My personal opinion on the Cary Gallant case is that the people on the top of the waiting list should be those who are youngest and most in need for a liver transplant. It should not matter if the person is an alcoholic or not, if they desperately need one they deserve to be at the top of the list. The reason why I say youngest is that the younger people have their whole life ahead of them, and if they need a liver transplant at a young age, they deserve to get one. We should not be judging the person with their relationship with alcohol, if there is a risk that they would not survive the six months of being sober, there is no reasonable reason they cannot be on the list. Besides, if I was in the position of Cary Gallant or another person with
Wayne Bertram Williams, a native to Atlanta Georgia, was born May 27, 1958 (Case Study, n.d.). He became the focus of a police investigation that became known as the “Atlanta Child Murders” involving twenty-nine murders (Case Study, n.d.). Eventually, Williams was convicted of two counts of murder and is still the prime suspect in many others (Wayne Biography, 2015).

Sunday, October 15,2017 was an exciting day for me because I got to participate in a very important annual event that can help to save lives. This amazing event is the breast-cancer walk in Coney Island. This was my first experience in this kind of event. Before the event, my class started to raise money for this amazing cause, as I got help from friends and family and I completed my fund-raising goal. Overall, we surpassed the goal of five thousand dollars for this well-deserved caused that afflicts many women worldwide. The entire experience was filled with moments I can never forget. My classmates during the walk made it all worthwhile as they were engaged and excited about the cause as well. The people cheering on the sidelines, women

And twelve years ago, when his mother died of breast cancer, at the age of 77, he put three million dollars out of his own pocket into cancer research and treatment. Despite his success, he kept his kind and charitable heart, and because of this he lived the best possible life he could and improved other’s lives while doing
The Case of Robert Pickton is a long one, that may have started in 1978 when he was in his early 20’s. His involvement in the case of the disappearing women was only noticed after 1997 when Geographic forensics Dr. Kim Rossemo and the RCMP said there must be a serial killer in the Vancouver area. Pickton owned and lived on a pig farm in Vancouver British Columbia, with his brother David Pickton. They were known for their parties at the Piggie palace; which were large, dirty and filled with prostitutes and drugs. R. Pickton was a frequent around skid row and was known as a “good date”; he provided good money and drugs to prostitutes. When police showed prostitutes his picture in early 1999, they wouldn’t admit to knowing because of this. However, many prostitutes were scared of him. It was known that a fellow ‘prostitute’ and friend of Pickton’s Lynn Ellingsen was helping him get prostitutes who didn’t trust him out to the farm after the 1997 attack on Sandra Ringwald. The police received a tip in 1998 after over 15 women disappeared, but ignored it. The VPD then created Project Amelia to help find the women who disappeared, but it was a joke. When in jail before the trials, Pickton confessed to have killed 49 women to an undercover police officer and over 26 plus different women's DNA was found on what authorities had deemed his death farm. To hide the bodies, Pickton used a grinder to destroy the bodies and fed the women to his pigs and guests. Due to systematic and fundamental errors of the police, Robert Pickton managed to murder of over 26 female sex trade workers in seven years. The VPD was not involved enough in the disappearances of the women and many of the mistakes that happened within the investigation and departm...
