After this, the federal marshals allowed her to only eat food from home. On another day, she was "greeted" by a woman displaying a black doll in a wooden coffin. Ruby's mother kept encouraging her to be strong and pray while…

Permanently Closed is a documentary that investigates the mysteries surrounding the institution Letchworth Village. This now abandoned lot, has had a lot of attention in the past years. Most recently, it was featured on the Travel Channel’s Ghost Hunters, and episode of the TV series Elementary, and was one of the main inspirations for the concept of season 2 of American Horror Story titled Asylum. Most famously, Letchworth was featured in Geraldo Rivera’s expose “The Last Disgrace” which aired…

What do James “Whitey” Bulger, Al “Scarface” Capone, and George Celino “Machine Gun Kelly” Barnes all have in common? The first thing that comes to mind is they are all leaders of Crime families and gangs, but they were all prisoners of Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. Alcatraz is one of the most famous prisons in the country if not the world for what happened there and for its notorious prisoners. “The Escape of Alcatraz”, the LSD trails, and the life on “Uncle Sam’s Devil Island” are all…

to utilize at least 25 armed Federal Marshals to admit Meredith and to appeal to Barnett’s pro-segregation supporters that he had no other option but to step aside (Sansing, 1999). Before Meredith could arrive, however, nearly 2,000 angry students and other agitators barricaded Meredith’s entrance (U.S. Marshall News, 2016). President John F. Kennedy now felt obligated to secure the safety of Meredith’s enrollment and sent a military occupation of nearly 31,000 federal troops (U.S. Marshall…

On August 31, 1997, Princess Diana of Wales died when her driver, Henri Paul, crashed the car in the Pont de l’Alma road tunnel in Paris, France. Many people think that the death of Princess Diana was purely an accident, and it wasn’t planned. People failed to notice, however, that Henri Paul was keeping connections with the SAS, which is a special forces unit that branched away from the British army. By rethinking their approach to her death being an accident, people can fix others who think…

government’s official perspective in a favourable light. Examples of this are the way the show uses eyewitnesses contradicting the government’s previous statement about the SAS members’ use of force by claiming that the terrorists had their hands in the air and did not seem to be dangerous (Bolton, 1988). This Week guides the viewers with statements like “our inquiries into the shootings in Gibraltar have revealed a number of important and troubling issues” and by having consultants outside the…

Introduction Operation Anaconda took place in March 2002 in Afghanistan. The operation consisted of many elements from different branches of service including local national armed forces being leveraged by American Special Operations Forces (SOF) for support. Coordination with these elements and lack of clearly defined leadership lead to the operation not going as planned and elements of mission control which caused delays in reaction time and forced U.S. commanders to adapt. The old…

Deconfliction was challenging because Air Controllers/observers called in fire on the same position, which could have caused mid-air collisions. The battle was much bigger than thought but the U.S. forces fought bravely to keep friendly positions from being overrun. CENTCOM could take hours depending on the sensitivity of the target request outside of the target area, which caused confusion between actual troops in contact, and attacking emerging targets lead to the perception air power was…
