In this article called Wheat Ridge Man Charged in Attack on Cat by Ann Schrader, the things that matter in this article is the charges that the cruel man gets for abusing a cat. It is never okay to abuse and assault an animal, especially because you are in a fight with your girlfriend, but a guess that this man from Wheat Ridge did not get that memo. It started out with a man who was in a fight with his girlfriend and decided to take it out on her cat. The man said that he was going to put blood of the cat all over her bathroom and when the police came and there was a lot of blood on the walls the man was not kidding. When the man went to jail he was charged with four felonies and criminal mischief and drunken driving. The man will be in jail for a really long time. The cat who is named Sid is recovering.

In this article called Our Kids as Criminals by the shifts is about what matters to the kids and the effect on the war. In this article some questions that go around are what is the war doing to them? Whom is it making them? How it is making them think and act about normal type of behavior. These questions come up with many people, who are worrying about what is going to happen to kids after hearing war related topics. Another interesting question that was brought up was in a world, in which technology begs all of us to create and spread creative work differently from how it was created and spread before, what kind of moral platform will sustain our kids, when their ordinary behavior is deemed criminal? Who will they become? What other crimes will to them seem natural? These few questions are very important to our society today, because kids today are getting in more trouble for things that they wouldn’t have been in trouble for back in the old days. These questions might worry a lot of adults because then kids will keep getting in a lot of trouble and they will keep getting younger all the time.
