Girl Scout Murders

The light from the TV screen illuminated the bedroom in a flickering glow, as the screen constantly changed between a scene of a mass murder, and a female reporter in a black suit and tie. The reporter's voice droned on about how and when the murders had been committed, and how the culprit was expected to be the same Stihr as last time. The screen flicked back to the heaps of bodies, now closed off to the public by yellow warning tape. A vast and seemingly quixotic amount of blood covered the disemboweled and occasionally dismembered corpses of the night-shift workers at the Empire State Building. Alastor gagged at the sight of the bodies, closing his eyes and grasping blindly for the remote. Seconds later, his fingers closed around the

No one can escape death, death comes at a certain time in a lifetime, but this death came particular too early. Elizabeth Short, an upcoming Hollywood star would soon be on the front page of magazines worldwide. Victim, Elizabeth Short, who later became known as The Black Dahlia, is a famous unsolved murder case.

No one had been murdered in Falls City for nearly half a decade until New Year’s Eve, 1993. Falls City stood about one hundred miles south of Lincoln and outside of Nebraskan commoners, the area was seldom mentioned or heard of. Moreover, the town’s lifelessness was a precise emulation of its residents, whom never deviated from their habitual routine: sleep, work, drink, smoke. There was not much for anyone in Falls City besides a local bar on the corner of Seward Place and the twenty-four hour liquor store adjacent to Dewey Avenue, but there was enough to make Brandon stay.

I have been an active member of Girl Scouts of America for 11 years. Within my troop we participate in coordinating events for local Girl Scouts and their families, sell cookies, nuts, and magazines annually, as well as participate in community service. Some of the community service events we participate in include, making Easter baskets for the local Women's Haven, making and sending Christmas gifts to our troops overseas and veterans, making and serving food at the Salvation Army, as well as providing hygiene and snack bags for each person we serve, and we recently provided care packs to be sent to the families in the Butte County area that were affected by the recent wildfires that California experienced last year. Also, my Girl Scout troop actively camps and advocates the preservation of the wilderness.

“It’s been an entire year since The Flower Girls’s last murder in Adelaide, South Australia. And the group of eight haven’t been spotted since. We are forced to ask the question – are they simply out of exes to get revenge on or are they just biding their time for their biggest kill yet?”

Like most countries, there are multiple phases of growth. It just so happened that London was experiencing a phase of growth during the time of the Ripper Murders. The East End especially was effected, more so then in past years. Other cities like Whitechapel and Spitalfields Bethnal Green, St George and the East and Poplar, become extremely poor during the era of the ripper. This was partly because of the increase of immigration in London. The increase of immigration, caused a huge set of unemployment, therefore making the city of London and the cities surrounding it extremely poor, with very bad living options. The East End, was considered overpopulated and dirty with immigrates, which lead to crime.

    The aspiration of “Man Takes First Steps on the Moon”, by an unknown author, published in The Times of London is to convey the events of the Apollo 11 mission and to communicate the excitement it spread through the world. “The two astronauts opened the hatch of their lunar module at 3:39 A.M. in preparation for Neil Armstrong’s walk.” The author presents the reader with exact information on what took place on the moon and what the astronauts accomplished. Even though the article describes the events that took place on the moon, back on earth the nations were celebrating. This was a tremendous breakthrough, not only for America, but for the world. All over the world, different political leaders sent laudatory words to the Americans for their achievement in sending men to the moon. The Prime Minister of Britain said, “The first feeling of all in Britain is that this very dangerous part of the mission has been safely accomplished.” President Saragat of Italy said, “May this victory be a good omen for an even greater victory: the definite

I believe that serving others is increasingly important in an age where people seem to value putting themselves before others. Through my early involvement in the Girl Scouts of America, service and volunteering has always been a very prominent and important part of my life. Being a girl scout requires you to take on and participate in many different community service projects. These activities included providing support at the Ronald McDonald House, raising money for children with cancer and collecting donations for food banks and animal shelters. As a member of the Girl Scouts, I earned the Bronze, Silver, Silver Trefoil, and Gold Awards. These awards were all earned by participating in service projects and volunteering.

With reference to four articles related to murder committed by young women, I will explain why Cohen’s theory of moral panic is not applicable to crimes committed by young women now. Moral Panic is defined as “a condition, person, group of people or episode that has been labelled as a threat to societal values and interests.” Cohen (1973).

In 1993, in West Memphis, Arkansas, three eight year old boys, Chris Byers, Michael Moore, and Stevie Branch, were killed. The local police handled it and three teenagers were accused, Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley Jr., and Jason Baldwin. In Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills, the documentary filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky purpose was to show what happened not only in the courtroom, but also what the victims’ families, the whole community, and the accused were going through. They accomplish this through the several scenes of the trial and doing interviews with the families of the neighborhood and with Damien. They never did a real interview with Jason or Jessie they just showed them talking to either the police

The 21st century is a very controversial era bringing up a lot of new ideas and topics. Ben Shapiro, an American conservative political commentator, has talked about many of these ideas. One of those topics are if females, or women who identify as a man, should be allowed in boy scouts. Whether you agree or disagree with his stance, Shapiro brings up a lot of valid points.

The Girls Scouts of the USA and Boy Scouts of America are both not-for-profit associations that can be the most brilliant encounters in a one's life. Being a Girl Scout or Boy Scout can enable youth to create development and character, as they develop in age and enter adulthood. Through the way toward volunteering and indicating administration abilities, Girls Scouts of the USA and Boy Scouts of America are both extraordinary associations. One required in any of the two associations will make solidarity all through their group and maintain a heritage. While the young required in one of the two associations gain accomplishments and incalculable honors, exploring can be used to make a remarkable school affirmation continue. In spite of the fact

We are preparing for another exciting year of Girl Scouts! I know everyone wants to have an idea of what our calendar will look like for the year. I have begun this year's calendar. Because we have so much to do, we plan on meeting approximately 3 times per month. I will post our draft calendar (I haven't added council-wide events yet). I think it would be great to post the calendar here, so it can be a living, breathing document that can be updated at anytime. It will allow us to be on the same page.

There is something about children running around in flower embroidered smocks that enamors parents. When I was five, almost every girl in my class was a Girl Scouts Daisy. But by the first grade, most of the kids and their parents had moved on from scouting, to pursue dance or play an instrument. While my parents also encouraged me to sign up for a myriad of other after-school activities--piano, gymnastics, swimming, drumming, figure skating--, I never left Girl Scouts. And as cliche as it is, that decision surely impacted the person I am today, and the person I will become tomorrow.
