Yesterday in London, England, 18-year-old, Seydou Diarrassouba, was stabbed to death as rival gangs argued over which pair of trainers (sneakers) to steal from an Oxford Street store (for more on this story visit: http://sonustarnews.com/?p=659). This was uncharacteristic for Oxford Street, but during the current global financial crisis, people have been doing strange things. 11 people have been arrested regarding the Muslim teen's death.

In America, numerous fights broke out around the country with the release of the latest Air Jordan sneakers by basketball great Michael Jordan. The shoe which retails for $170, has become so wildly popular, people lined up outside stores for a pair upon its release. Police also had their hands full breaking up fights and responding to store vandalism calls.

The Judiciary Report is not knocking commercialism, as it keeps people employed and puts food on their tables. However, the site is appalled by the manner in which some, not all, have turned to violence over something that does not warrant it. These products were made for the public to enjoy, not to end people's lives over or cause others bodily injury. Please, before you decide to harm another person over clothing and shoes, keep things in perspective. It's not that serious. You can replace clothes and shoes. You cannot replace a human life or limb.

20-Year-Old Man Detained In The Beating Death And Rape Of 7-Year-Old Jorelys Rivera

"Police Say Ga. Girl Killing Very Calculated"

20-year-old Ryan McCabe Brunn, has been arrested in connection with the murder of missing 7-year-old Georgia girl, Jorelys Rivera. The young girl was in the care of a babysitter, while her mother worked the nightshift at her place of employment. Rivera went missing, as she was allegedly abducted by maintenance man, Brunn. Her body was discovered days later in the garbage. The medical examiner stated she died of blunt force trauma to the head, stab wounds and was also raped.

Precious little Jorelys Rivera

The state of Georgia maintains the death penalty, as a means of punishing crime and many will be calling for Brunn to face such a fate, due to the heinous nature of the Rivera's murder. If such a claim is not successful in court, Brunn will likely face life in prison if convicted, where inmates will not react well to his presence. When one goes into prison as a pedophile and or child murderer, it will make one a target.

In the State of Georgia, there exists an exemption in avoiding the death penalty and that is mental disability. However, according to the New York Times, the burden of proof to meet said requirement is very high, making the death penalty a strong probability for very violent offenders, who commit crimes such as the ones Brunn is accused of in court. Jorelys died a violent death - justice must be served.
