Monday: I feel like I'm completely desensitized to anything about the war. I'm still drawn to it but I feel like it goes in one ear and out the other.
Tuesday: The big picture on the front page of the priests caught all of my attention. At first glance I thought about all the Catholic scandal but second glance I saw how they were laughing.. which isn't what I expect. More bailout press... how exciting. The human chain in a Congo mine caught my attention. The Russian article about the costume workshop caught my eye as well.
Wednesday:The swinging footrests on desks in Minnesota sounds like a really great experiment. Kids need to fidget and this is a great way to release built up energy and promote concentration. I liked it a lot. Obama promises more thing to better our economy.. what else is new.. the goats and boats pictures caught my attention. The mining disaster in China, the dead person in the picture... you can do that? Jeeze..
Thursday:More Obama. More aid and bailout. Toilet paper article... haha. That's funny. I'm sick of these huge one page colored adds. They always distract me! Which its probably the point...

Drug Trafficing in NYC
Suspect drug traffic lord Pierre Jeanton was shot and killed by a NYC Policeman after a high speed chase, four innocent fatalities were reported as a result of this chase.
Sunday evening, New Your City Police Detective Jimmy Doyle was shot at by Jeanton from the rooftop of an apartment building at 1767 W. 57th Avenue. A stray bullet shot and killed 63 year old Betty B. Badluck, of the Bronx, who was walking her granddaughter close to Doyle. Doyle scaled to the rooftop to catch Jeanton but he had already fled the scene.
Doyle commenced the chase of Jeanton on foot to the local elevated train station where Jeanton got onto the train and killed the cop on board, 34 year old Roland Evans, of Brooklyn, a 15-year veteran of the New York City Police Department and train conductor Horatio C. Hornblower, 30, of White Plains. Peter Howe, 27, of Queens, was another trainman on board. Police reports conclude that Howe died of a heart attack at the controls of the train.
Eyewitness accounts recall hearing shots fired and passengers running throughout the cabins.
“I heard the shot and wanted to find out what was going on,” said Betty Lou of NYC. “I followed the conductor and a few other passengers to the last cabin where this guy took out his gun and shot the conductor. Then I ran.”
All the while, Doyle had commandeered a vehicle and was chasing the runaway train directly below.
Margaret Johnson of Manhattan was taking her baby for a stroll when she heard a loud commotion that seemed far away. “Then a burgundy car came around the corner and almost hit my baby and me. It swerved away at the last moment,” said Johnson. “I was terrified.”
When the hijacked train came to an abrupt stop Doyle abandoned the vehicle and approached the train. Doyle approached the bottom of the staircase leading up to the elevated train station when suspect Jeanton came around the corner at the top of the stairs. Only when Jeanton refused to stop at the commands of Officer Doyle’s direction did Doyle fire the fatal shot to stop Jeanton.
NYC Police Chief, Morgan Freeman comments on the chase explaining that, “We do not condone officers commandeering vehicles and endangering innocent civilian’s lives, but we stand behind Officer Doyle’s actions and commend him of his bravery.”
“He put a lot of innocent lives in danger,” said Johnson. “I think he could have handled it in a different way.”
“Considering the time factor, Officer Doyle had no time to alert surrounding officers or he would have lost pursuit of the suspect. His last resort was to shoot said suspect. We would have loved to bring Jeanton in for questioning but it’s better than not bringing him in at all.” said Freeman.
Police reports suspect that Jeanton was assigned to assassinate Officer Doyle.
“We stand behind Officer Doyle’s actions,” adds Freeman. “He was very brave.”
