This is the main reason I do not think the Bloody Code played a part in stamping this out. There are various factors, however, that I believe were a part in stomping out highway robbery. Some clever people did just not want to become a highwayman. This is because of a few factors: houses were built on open land, which made it harder for highwaymen to rob people; people were starting to use banks instead of money, which meant sometimes highwaymen would rob people but they had no money to hand so it was pointless; rewards were being offered to encourage people to catch highwaymen, even if nobody was brave enough there was still a risk that they could be caught and hung and also justices of the peace(JPs) had stop licensing taverns which meant that highwaymen had to find other places to sell their loot. Open land around London was being built on as the population expanded.
9. The Wall Street Journal did not publish the evidence by Markopolos because then people would take it out on them because they did not do the investigation and its because of them they lost there money. 10. I feel that the SEC did not do their job because they should have at least see these transactions and they should have caught him before everyone lost their money. Just because Madoff had good connections with the SEC they still have done some sort of an investigation and at least say they did not see anything than just ignore it because now people are mad at the
The water bottle contained alcohol. Ms. Baker, being under twenty-one, was charged with minor possession of alcohol. Holding: In this case, the officers should not have had their weapons draw while approaching and they had not reason to open the water bottle and exceeded the scope of the frisk. The officers did not use the frisk for safety reasons and their initial reason for the stop was not substantiated after a search of the grocery bag. Rationale: While the officers may have had a reasonable suspicion for the initial stop, their actions in the circumstances surrounding the stop were incorrect and unlawful.
Stumbling upon the dead mule changes the boys' ideas about life and death, giving them a new appreciation for life, and how they have this feeling of time stopping throughout this journey of before, during and right after this revelation strikes them. The dead mule the boys stumbled upon wasn't any other mule. It completely transformed their views on life and death. Immediately as one starts to read the part about them having discovered the mule, one can tell by the language used [“...bones picked almost clean, ants streaming through the eyes.”] [29] that the incident had a significant impact on their lives on another level – not in the sense of an adrenaline rush, but more in the sense of a revelation about life. We know this as the boys, instead of feeling the adventure and thrill of something, stood their static, trying to comprehend this revelation of death that has come onto them.
The death of someone close is always difficult, but to happen so unexpectedly and at such a young age, the effect would most likely be much worse. This seems to lend credence to the theory that Rat was driven insane, which would explain his actions, but this does not seem to fit. Someone who was crazy or only out to cause pain would not have attempted to feed the buffalo at first, or shown any signs of remorse, whereas at the end, “Rat Kiley was crying. He tried to say something, but then cradled his rifle and went off by himself” (O’Brien 79). But, the loss of Curt Lemon does begin to support the claim that Rat was in a very emotional
There is not much I can do, except stand there and watch. If I were to stand up to Sonny and his men and tell them to stop it and go easy, they would most likely gang up on me and beat me up. I would definitely get some form of a hard time. I would never join in on deliberately physically hurting someone. In this situation, I would have to think fast and you would not really have much of a choice what to do.
Giunta says “I try to forget a lot of this, it benefits me in the long run, but coming back and doing these things: talking about it retches the gut.” Giunta talks about where he saves Sergeant Brendon from the enemies. As he says over the radio to the other men during chaos of the ambush, “there fucking taking him,” his voice is shaking and you see that his eyes start watering. The enemies rushed the men shot at Sergeant Brendon and then grab him as soon as he was down and started caring him away. Giunta is so freaked out that he poises and has to get him self together to finish the interview. Can you imagine seeing one of your best friends being carried away by people that are most likely going to touchier them and take them as a trophy in a place where you’re not familiar with and far, far away from home: didn’t think
Cursing under my breath and shaking my head I get ready to meet my fate. I bowed my head and prayed to God me and my brother would be alive and that we wouldn’t have to kill each other. But I fear, there is no God here just death. We draw our weapons and begin firing at once, the bullets hitting the body sounded like thunder and shattered their bones in a blink of an eye. Blood started flying everywhere, and the once green grass now became a pool of dark red blood at our feet.
On that day I overheard them, they as I quote said “is that arrogant, hypocritical, loser coming again today, I wish he could just give us money instead of taking us to all these different places”. My innocent mind couldn’t comprehend anything at that moment, I was confused, is it some sort of a game there playing? Is it just mind playing tricks on me? It has to be because those guys wouldn’t say something like that; it has to be a misunderstanding, yeah that’s what it was a misunderstanding. The second comment they made is what punched me back to reality; it made realize that this wasn’t a misunderstanding, rather it was certainty, and that it was actually happening right before my eyes.
At least the leapfrog advance was over with once we started to encircle; I could quit counting and concentrate on speed. It was getting to be less healthy to be anywhere, even moving fast. We had started with the enormous advantage of surprise, reached the ground without being hit (at least I hoped nobody had been hit coming in), and had been rampaging in among them in a fashion that let us fire at will without fear of hitting each other while they stood a big chance of hitting their own people in shooting at us -- if they could find us to shoot at, at all. (I'm no games-theory expert but I doubt if any computer could have analyzed what we were doing in time to predict where we would be next.) Nevertheless the home defenses were beginning to fight back, co-ordinated or not.
