There were also reported that on occasions Gardiner's lover Catherine Browne had been participating in robberies alongside 'The Darkie' disguised in men's apparel. Consequently, all reports, however, continued to state that the bushrangers 'can be identified'. Although many of the correspondents in the country areas where the offences had occurred either knew of or were well informed as to who the perpetrators were they appeared reluctant to name them, either as a way of assisting the police by not alerting the criminals or their friends as well as protecting themselves against possible reprisals. Therefore, in most instances, as with the NSW police gazettes, descriptions of the assailants were only printed in newspapers by correspondents as

This is the location where the robbers first entered and started to fire. Both robbers made an illegal withdrawal at the bank and held people hostage inside the bank’s volt. One of the bank’s personnel was held at gunpoint and forced to fill up a duffle bag with money from the volt. They caused thousands and thousands of dollars of damage to the bank. The parking of Bank of America would be a crime scene as well, this is the area in which multiple police officers and civilians were shot and injured. In this location there were approximately 50 police officers involved in the shootout. The residential area in which both robbers lead officials would be another crime scene. Here both individuals were gun downed and killed. Phillips one of the armed robbers was killed by a semi-truck after his AK 47 failed on him and he used a small pistol to fire back at officers.

And these are the consequences of just one of three thefts in West Yorkshire on the East Coast Main Line in a single night last month.

There were two men inside the modest one-story building; the bank cashier and a lawyer named William McDowell. One of the robbers, possibly Jesse, walked up to the cashier and asked to have a $100 banknote changed. As the cashier wrote out a receipt, the robber drew his revolver and fired two shots, one into the man's chest and another into his forehead. As McDowell ran for the door, he was shot in the arm. Jesse grabbed a portfolio of bank paper and raced outside.”

However, through 1862, and into the early weeks of 1863, authorities had been gazetting robberies and hold-ups where it is most probable that Ben Hall through his current associations had undoubtedly participated. Furthermore, the NSW Police Gazette provided descriptions of perpetrators closely resembling the known physical descriptions of Gardiner, Gilbert, O'Meally and Hall along with other known acquaintances such as the three Jack's. Furthermore, it was also reported that on occasions Catherine Browne had been participating in robberies alongside 'The Darkie' disguised in men's apparel. Consequently, all reports, however, continued to state that the bushrangers 'can be identified'. Although many of the correspondents in the country areas

The robbers pushed their weapons against Jose’s stomach and Wence’s head. They took their wallets and ran north on Warren Drive. The men said their wallets had about $250 in them. The men described the robbers as two black men between 25 and 30 years old. The police still haven't found the suspects.

The themes of luck and fate in Erdrich's The Bingo Palace are apparent by the individual chapter titles such as Lipsha's Luck, June's Luck, Lyman's Luck, Shawnee's Luck, Fleur's Luck, etc. Each chapter appears to touch on what brand of luck each of the characters in the story has. Lipsha seemed to believe that his life was controlled more by luck or fate rather than by his own will. Lipsha has his luck changed from bad to good to bad again by his meetings with his dead mother. On the first encounter, Lipsha's mother, Lucy appears to him in the casino where he works. She gives him a booklet of bingo tickets and this is when Lipsha feels that his "luck is finally shifting".(56) With these bingo tickets, Lipsha wins again and again. Money and then a van, which he sees as his chance to get Shawnee, the woman that he loves.

Around midnight some trouble started when drunken bikers left a bar and started to throw beer bottles at cars. They broke windows in the downtown area, one a bank window that set off an alarm. The news spread and several bars closed early to avoid trouble. Soon more people joined the vandalism and looting, while others stood by and watched. A crowd of about 100 had gathered by the time the police got there. They appeared to be a mix of bikers, students and out-of-town kids who often came to Kent's bars. Some of them began throwing bottles at the police and the crowd shouted obscenities, it took about an hour for the police to restore order.

Ideas of slavery, identity, and what is acceptable behavior differ greatly in the past-Civil War North and South. Ralph Ellison’s “King of the Bingo Game” depicts how traditional southern slave mentalities are in conflict even after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation of the slaves, leading many, like the nameless main character to try and find a new identity and giving him a taste of power to control his life and the lives of others.

In the short story, “King of the Bingo Game”, published in 1944, Ralph Ellison explains a man’s brief journey to attain freedom from his oppressing and segregating society, while economically assisting his ailing wife. He is granted the opportunity to control his destiny and alter his life forever. He portrays the hope of endless possibilities, as well as anticipated control over one’s future. In the other short story, “The Lesson”, published in 1960, Toni Cade Bambara explores the concept of social and economic injustice during the Civil Rights Movement period. Both of these literary works encompass the theme of predominating one’s destiny to be liberated from a socially and economic society during an era of segregation in American history.

As the MC announces the letters and numbers, the participants are concentrating heavily over their many cards making sure not to miss the chance for a win. Then you hear “BINGO!” Bingo is only one of three legal forms of gambling allowed in the state of Georgia. The other two are, the Georgia state lottery and raffles, which are all state controlled. Out of the three, the lottery has been the most beneficial to the state. A portion of earnings from the state-run lottery go towards the HOPE scholarship to insure low-income students are eligible to attend some form of continued education after completing high school. These funds from the state lottery are slowly diminishing, which affects the amount of scholarship monies disbursed to needy students. The state of Georgia should highly consider legalizing other forms of gambling. States that have granted casinos the permission to operate noticed a significant increase in the employment rate, benefits from state and local tax revenue, boost in retail sales and a revitalized housing market.

Ralph Ellison’s “King of the Bingo Game” was first published in the literary journal Tomorrow in November, 1944 ("King of the Bingo Game”). “The story is customarily examined as a prototype for Ellison’s novel Invisible Man,” but the work was based on his own experience ("King of the Bingo Game”). Ralph Waldo Ellison is a famous American novelist and his novel Invisible Man won the National Book Award in 1953 ("King of the Bingo Game”). The story takes place in a Bingo Hall up North during the great Migration, in the 1940s (Ellison 242). The story belongs to the satire genre using the third person point of view. The tone of the whole story is sad. Ellison uses characters and symbolism to explore the theme of the hopelessness of people in front of their destiny and the discrimination of the African Americans in the unequal society of America in the 1940s.
