Ray Nagin-New Orleans mayor Former New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin has been convicted of bribery, money laundering, and other corruption charges (Associated Press 2014). He allegedly took thousands of dollars, went on free vacations and trips, and was given truckloads of granite for his family business (Associated Press 2014). Ray was mayor after the hectic Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana in 2005 and destroyed most of New Orleans (Associated Press 2014). He had fought so hard for the federal government to help New Orleans in their time of need, yet he was making unethical choices governing the city. I find this very interesting and disturbing since, who is to know if his fight was for the people of New Orleans or for himself and his family.

Blomkvist himself is waiting to serve a three month jail sentence for a journalism case he was wrongly accused in.

The Vanger family is characterized as greed driven, secretive, and dysfunctional with major Neo Nazi ties making everyone a suspect.

A 27-year-old boy named Connor wanted to get the medias attention for his knockout. He wanted to know if he hit a black person if it would be nationally televised. He was charged with a hate crime and also a 250,000-dollar fine if convicted and 10 years in prison. He punched a 79-year-old black man in the jaw so hard that he is faced with 2 jaw fractures and spent several days in the hospital. I think this game is very disturbing.
