Fifth oldest person in the world dies

The oldest person living in the state of Massachusetts has died at the age of 115.  Bernice Emerson Madigan was the fifth oldest person in the world, she was born in Springfield in 1899 and moved to Cheshire Massachusetts in 1906.  Madigan got a job at the U.S. treasury and moved to silver spring, Maryland where she lived most of her life until 2007 when she moved back to Cheshire.  Her husband died in 1976, they had no children.  many people would ask her what she does to keep healthy and stay alive that long.  She says she always has a positive attitude.  She would eat a good healthy breakfast every morning and the most surprising one to me is a glass of wine every day.  One hundred and fifteen years is a long time to live and it seems pretty much impossible.  Bernice lived through three different centuries which only a very few people have ever been able to physically do.

NFL teams trying out new helmet cams

Certain teams in the NFL and in college level football have been trying out a new device called the helmet cam.  This helmet cam gives the viewers watching a POV view of the action.  When the camera is attached to for example a quarterback the viewers are now able to see the what the QB is looking at and how he sees the field.  It brings watching a football game to a whole new level, normally people don't know what goes on in a quarterbacks head or what he sees on a field.  Now viewers will be able to see him call out certain plays, pick out the mike and other key defensive players that could blitz, and just in general see what he's seeing on the field.  It also helps the coaching staff get a new perspective of how there players play and act on the field.  The coaching staff will get the experience of the game in there players perspective.  Currently there is no word on when this cool and very high tech technology will come out.  This could bring watching football to a totally new level.

Retired cop and veteran has guns taken away from him

Donald Montgomery is a very decorated retired police officer in the state of New York for 30 years.  Montgomery is also a U.S. Navy veteran, after he took a trip to the hospital where he sought treatment for a sleeping problem, Montgomery was stripped of his 2nd Amendment rights and has had his guns taken away from him.  Thanks to governor Cuomo the SAFE act was introduced to New York after the Sandy Hook shooting in Connecticut.  The law had very little public debate and was passed by lawmakers in New York State.  Montgomery's lawsuit says that he was no physical harm to the public nor to himself.  I think that it is ridiculous that this man had his guns taken away from him.  Not only is it his right to own these weapons it is unconstitutional to take them away from him.  Montgomery has done no harm to anybody his whole life. Not only did he serve his community well, he also served his Country in order to keep the right to bear arms.  For the government to knock on his door and confiscate his weapons is absurd.

Citizens get justice themselves

A peaceful Alabama family's house was robbed the other day, where Christmas gifts were stolen from right under their Christmas tree.  The same burglars then went to a neighbors house and broke into their house as well a few days later, which is where they got video of the criminals.  Most people would call the police and have the law enforcement deal with the problem.  Not this Alabama family... when the husband and wife found out the whereabouts of the thief's.  They quickly got in their car and gave the burglars a little visit.  The family held the guilty thief's at gun point for a half an hour until police arrived at the scene.  It is great to see that people are taking the law into their own hands and at the same time aren't doing anything drastically.  These thief's deserve whatever punishment that will come to them, stealing little children's Christmas gifts from under their own tree is an all time low.  I think that it is great that this family took the responsibility and took matters into their own hands in order to deal with the problem without any mishaps.  This saves police time to deal with other crimes that are much worse.  This is what I would call personal justice.

Terrorist are in our own backyards

Since 2013 there has been about 20 "American" citizens that have been trying to support or join Islamic terrorist states.  Federal law enforcement is dealing with one of these American terrorist at least once every week.  Lots of these members live in the United States or have legal residency.  This makes them stay under the radar and very hard for law enforcement to catch.  These "American" terrorist are very dangerous and are a very big threat to our Nation.  Its very difficult to track down these men considering they don't have credit cards and use pre paid cell phones which the police and other law enforcement cannot track.  They are trying their best to make sure that these men are put away, in order to keep our great country safe and secure.

Newtown families have had enough of guns

Nine families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, that happened back in 2012 are now suing the manufacturer of the weapon that was used during the shooting.  In the morning of Dec. 14, 2012 a man named Adam Lanza shot and killed his mother, then drove to the Sandy Hook school where he shot 20 children and six educators/teachers.  When police arrive Lanza then shot and killed himself.  The nine suing are saying that the weapon the Lanza used should not be in the peoples hands because it was designed for military use.  They say that it is not suitable for hunting or home defense so therefore it is pointless to be able to own in the civilian world. 

The kettle thief

In Gulfport, Mississippi police are looking for a thief that pushed a salvation army bell ringer that was working her post at a grocery store, and ran off with the kettle.  Micelle Pope was the bell ringer that was volunteering to make money for the Salvation Army.  The money that people generously drop in the little kettles goes to help out families for the Holidays and also to buy Christmas gifts for children.  Salvation Army Maj. Gary Sturdivant says that each kettle station makes about $150-$300 each shift.  In his thirty years he has never had this problem before.  Police are looking for the thief now, they have video of the person that is responsible.  I'm sure the police will find this man and will be thrown in jail for what he has done.
