I can honestly say that my favorite TV show right now is The Wendy Williams Show. I have been watching the Wendy Williams show since she first aired.

On July 13, 2015, Sandra Bland committed suicide in Waller County Jail in Hempstead, Texas. Bland was an African-American, and was subject to police brutality.

As many Stockholm victims, Hearst begins to depend on her captors and trust them. The victims may feel the kidnappers are their only source of food, water and shelter. The kidnappers may use these privileges as a reward and punishment system. Depending on the abductor and how long he may keep the person, they also begin to develop feel for the victim.
