1985 Royals The Royals have just won the 2015 World Series, but that's not the only time in history we have won the World Series. 30 years ago the 1985 Royals Roster Conquered the MLB.

Back then it was just the two teams with the best record in each league faced each other for a spot in the world series.…
According to Drugs, Society, and Criminal Justice, outlaw motorcycle gangs and street gangs have been credited as the two types of organized crime in America since the 1980's (Levinthal, 2012). However, both criminal organizations have various gangs that are identifiable by crimes they commit, how they are committed, and where they are committed, just as each gang has their friends and foes. " Gang members who sell drugs are significantly more violent than gang members who do not sell drugs and are more violent than drug sellers who do not belong to gangs", (Levinthal, 2012, p. 107).…

It is necessary that people must be informed on the history of how it came about and how it has become something of a normalcy, so that when they visit they are not oblivious to how prevalent it is in that area.…

The roads are a lot safer in the daylight, it reduces less accidents because we can see where we are driving better than in the dark.…
