From hundredths of animated films produced by Walt Disney Productions with today’s internet era one might not know what is truth or fake about Disney movies. From hearing multiples rumors about the dirty, hidden messages in Disney movies I decided to do what Jane Gallop calls “Close Reading” (looking at what is…
Living in a distorted society where many people don’t know how to think for themselves, it’s easy to get misguided into believing that there is more violence in society than there actually is.

Each field has its own perks and duties, but the common ground with each and every field is being one with the community. Law enforcement is present in all capacities in the community. Whether it is road patrol, homicide, or even volunteering, all are a part of helping the community. For me, a career in Law Enforcement is a great opportunity to be a respected member in the community, as well as enforcing the laws of…

The first murder committed by Herbert was a homeless man and…

By the way, it’s not the lady’s fault that she took the brown acid.” Brown acid refers to bad trip on LSD, originated from the 1969 Woodstock Festival.
