In "2 Inmates Fled Chicago high-rise Jail Rising Rope" the author brings to the light how 2 men has escaped an facility and now they're out in the city wandering about.
One example that supports my answer from the article is when it states, "Joseph "Jose" Banks, 37, and Kenneth Conley, 38, were unaccounted for during a 5 a.m. headcount, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. An FBI affidavit says the men were in their assigned areas for a head count around 10 p.m. Monday and that jail employees noticed the makeshift rope around 7 a.m.. Nearby business owners said helicopters and canine units did not swarm the area until almost 8:30 a.m."
Another example that supports my answer is when the article states, "The FBI reissued a plea to the public to be on the lookout for the men, whom they believe are traveling together, and warned that they should be considered armed and dangerous. On Wednesday, Thomas Trautmann, the acting special agent-in-charge of the FBI's Chicago office, announced a $50,000 reward leading to their arrests."
I found this article interesting because the FBI and all the other cops need to step their game up and have a better security for situations like this because now that these inmates are out and exploring around the world freely, they can really hurt someone.
No one really knows what these people can do to dusguise themselves or even do to others that are around them.
I feel as though that it was the security's fault inside the facility that these men escaped. Now that they've seen that people can escape they need to keep the inmates in sight and active at all times so that nothig like this can even happen again.
As it states in the article there hasn't been an escape from the facility in over 2 decades, and if the security has improved, then how was it possible for this to happen?

Marijuanna Law Just Creates Criminals
In "Marijuana Law Just Creates Criminals" Hakeem Jeffries points out how cope and armed security spends tons of money arresting people for marijuanna posession.
One example from the article is when it states, "New York spends about $75 million on arresting people for recreational marijuanna posession."
Another example that supports my answer is when it states, "But what many people dont know is that the state decriminalized this offense more than 30 years ago, making private posession of less than 25 grams of marijuanna a violation punishable by a $100 fine."
I found this article almost interesting because many people argue back and forth about how marijuanna is illegal and that the law should state it as legal. Although in some countries it has already been made legal and there isn't a problem.
Another reason that i found this article interesting is because of how much money the government uses to lock someone up with marijuanna posession when it's far more serious situations occuring in the world.
I feel as though that if the cops and government put in as much effort into other situations other than drug posession then the world would be a better place and there wouldn't be as much violence going on.
One example that supports my statement is gun posession, I feel as though it is very easy to buy a gun illegally off of someone when it shouldn't be even thought of being easy.
Another example that supports my statement is gang violence. Gang violence has the highest rate of occuring right now, many families and people get hurt either because they're not apart of the "gang family" or because they rep another gang and steps into another gang's "territory".

Should 16-year-olds drive ?
In "Should 16-year-olds drive?" Ted Gregory tells us how the age for recewiving your driver's license should be raised.
One example from the article is when a sophomore from Hinsdale Central High School says, "I don't think it matters what age you are, as long as you have practice and experience."
Another example from the article is when Lund states, "We're losing a lot of teens on the road this year, more than 5,000 teenagers get into carc crashes every year."
I found this article very interesting because I am currently in the process of taking my permit at the age of 16 and many people argue their point of view because they don't want teenagers of my age driving and getting into car crashes.
Although I am 16 and very young, adults fail to realize that once you turn 16 you can take your permit and you have to take 4 weeks of driving lessons before you can drive. Also, teenagers that passes their permits have to drive with someone that already has their license, so there is no way that teens like me can drive around crazy and go crashing everywhere.
This article is also very intersting to me because it gives different perspectives on what some teenagers think is right and what they think isn't right.
One very interesting comment that stood out to me the most is when Brent Jonhson ( a driving teacher at Hinsdale Central ) states, "I think Illinois has gone the proper way- reward the kids who do a nice job and penalize the kids who don't. The teen driving issues are not about age and maturity as much as they are about making good decisions and demonstrating exceptional behavior , whether they start that driving experience at 16, 17, or 18."
This comment stood out to me the most because it states that a driving teacher doesn't choose which side he's on, the adults nor the students. It shows that he is very wise about which students can make the right decisions and which ones that don't know how to act inside of a vehicle. He's basically stating that, the people that are very mature, a good decision maker, and has self confidence are the ones that should be able to drive. But the ones that are risk takers, that hesitates, and is easy to fall into peer pressure shouldn't be able to drive.
