Four police officers shot dead in a Coffee Shop

Occording to CNN, sunday morning around 8 a.m. before they were going to start there shift, they were working on a case or paper work. On there laptops, a man walks into the Coffee Shop and fires and kills all four police officer. Nobody else was hurt, but was in shock. the man escaped on foot and as of now has not been found but they are investagting possible places. Seeing if he went to any hospital or other places. They have set a perimitor around the coffee shop searching everywhere possible.



It is shocking that someone would kill 4 cops, there was no threat to the cops before this crime. For some one to do this big of a crime must be mentally screwed up and once found, cause it isn't a question with todays technoligy. He will get one of the biggest punishment there is. Once caught he will not be on the street anymore for his life. This is a big shocker and to see how fast the people around them are acting on this shows us how prepared we are.

black friday

Black friday is the day after Thanks giving in the United States. It is basically the start of the Christmas shopping sales. Big door busters that atracting many costumers to their store. Huge sales that alot of stores open early as 12 o'clock at night, the vary start of friday. It started in 1966 mainly in the east coast but sense about 2000 it became a very common sale through out the United States.

The National Retailer Federlation, estimated that 195 million people visited, malls, retail stores, and online story's, through Thursday- Sunday. Up 23 million people from last year. But the average amount spent for a customer fell about 8 % from last year. People argue thou, the less amount spent is becaus of 200 dollar laptops and things like that. Retailer main focus was to get people into there stores and they seemed to do a good job at that. but the friday sales went up and everything seemed to go well. So this year was a hit and next year, will most likely top this year!!

Job Lose Comes to a End (With Connor Sundberg)

Reported from the Washington Post, at the state of the union Barack Obama said "revising job losses will come at the end of the period, not the start." He hopes that by 2010 jobs will start turning around. Right now it takes 150,000 new jobs a month to deal with the growing population. If we could get 50,000 more a month we could slowly bring that 700,000 job losses at the beginning of the year down.

Yes we need some one making jobs, with this war right now, we shouldn't be going under, the war gives us alot of jobs, this should be are high point. But it is sad that 700,000 people lost their jobs this year. If Barack could start to bring the jobs up with his reform on health care and just keep trying to boost the economy.
Connor Sundberg http://connorsundberg.blogspot.com/ says, "Obama is considering making health care for illegal immigrants. This isn't right, that's taking money away that could be going toward hard working Americans. I don't see why they are worried about the immigrants when us citizens could be using that help from the government.''
Once people start to get jobs i think allot of things are going to be better. People wont have to be losing their houses, cars, everything they have worked for their whole life. Hopefully Barack is right about 2010 bringing more jobs because that's just what we need. Yes it is great that we are trying to make a change but some of this we just need to let go. Like with the car company's, let them go under, ya jobs go under but we cant just keep puting moneying into failing things, make more jobs some where else like constuction or roads.

Guantanamo Bay Closing

In the New York Times it says that, President Obama is signnig a contract to close downt the Guantanamo Bay. This is a very dangoureous prison, that holds about 245 terrorist suspects. The problem is were to put the detainees. They want to send them to a maximum security prison in the us. But people don't think this is a good idea to bring terrorist in to the us when the whole point was to keep them out.

Connor Sundberg from http://connorsundberg.blogspot.com/ said, "I think they should keep Guantanamo open and keep the terrorist there. We don't need them in the us. Something crazy might happen like in the movies and some terrorist will get out. Guantanamo might give America a bad name but it keeps the people we are in war over out of our country." I agree with him why bring people know for hating us and also know for terrorist actions back in the US. This will cause a little more panic. Why bring them here when they are perfectly safe there and we are perfectly safe here. Think of our saftey before you think of our reputation.
