After the bombings at the Boston marathon last week, thousands of would-be sleuths flocked to the internet. They scoured pictures and video and posted images of suspicious characters with backpacks, who seemed to fit official descriptions of the most wanted. But they failed badly: members of the social media and entertainment website Reddit falsely accused a missing college student, Sunil Tripathi, of the crimes. Virtually everything those sleuths from Reddit had discovered was wrong. This slowed the investigation and interrogation procedures.

Summary of Do Video Games Kill by Karen Stemheimer In the commentary, “Do Video Games Kill”, Karen Sternheimer brings to light an interesting and incredibly controversial subject; are video games to blame for youth gun violence? She maintains that due to many biased opinions; political, religious and advocacy groups, the media have failed to provide ample information to the public resulting in the inability to form an educated opinion, in turn causing a mass hysteria resulting in tougher security guidelines in schools, stricter juvenile laws and far less personal and parental responsibility. An incredibly popular first person shooter video game, Doom, is ripe with gratuitous violence. So much so that it has been blamed for several mass shootings, perpetrated by middle-class, white, young-adult males. The media, politicians, advocacy groups as well as the FBI are steadfast in claiming that the only rational explanation is that of the individuals falling prey to the aggression inciting video game.

Evidence we found show that Bratton is the murderer.

Pendergast: Luckily, I have been able to be part of an organization that helps get thousands of young people involved in politics. That could mean responding to an ad for volunteers, and all of a sudden it's three years later, and they are still with the organization. It's being a part of that—helping other young people become empowered—that I am most proud of. How did you handle the hate crime against your Arab American
