Im never in the right place at the right time!

   Last Wednesday i was sick and didn't get to com to class. As soon as i saw Lena i knew i had to find out exactly what was going on because i feel as if it is really easy to get behind in this class. She told me that i missed out on a awesome class so then i was even more bummed because i had been miserable on Wednesday and missed out on a total party :( I was informed that two way cool people named....

Invincible

Waajeed

    So needless to say after i found out their names i got on the computer and had to check them out. I found out that Waajeed is a very good producer and has made his way up in the jobs of producing and that Invincible was named best female hip hop artist in 2008 in Detroit. They look like a big party and i seriously hate that i missed out on getting to chat with them. I am also so excited to see the video that they made with the older film students. I'm sure it will be amazing! Lena also informed me that everyone in the class got filmed and had to tell there name and all that jazz so I'm not really that upset that i missed that!

Life on the Web!

Online Info

Thesis: When someone commits a crime or does something wrong is it fair to put what they have done online for many people to see or should all of that information just be between their families and the police or sheriffs?

      The article i found on LexisNexis is about a lady who was seen on a video picking up a cat by his fur and throwing it. To many different people this video can be looked at in several different ways. Some say that this video could be considered animal abuse but many other people made valid points about the video in my article. They went on to talk about how a man on YouTube got thousands of views when he posted a video of a man dressed as a cat putting a video in a can. This video was directly related to the lady who had thrown the cat. When the owners found the cat in the garbage they quickly went out to find who the lady was that had thrown the cat in the garbage. Soon after they started the pursuit to find the lady her name,address and other information was all over the web.  She not only had her information all over the web but she was having death threats sent to her at home and at work. Posting things on the web can be very dangerous but might also help people out in many different situations that we are put in.A year ago district attorney Brett Ligon in Texas announced "he will put all the people that were arrested for being drunk or drunk driving on twitter." I feel as if this would be a good idea for many states to start going to and no its is not the person that actually committed the crime but this could possibly make it where people will be too embarrassed and will cut back some. Some people feel that this is a way of calling them out but they can find it in the newspaper anyways so its not actually most different besides people use online more than they get a newspaper or even check the newspaper online.Warren Dieprram stated "if a person is found not guilty on then i will remove their name form the tweet or online from the site i put them on." Some counties that have tried to go to tweet and put the information on facebook have found that the replies that they get back are racist and could even become dangerous. I feel like these are a good idea but most be monitored in order to make sure that they work out like they should.
