Drug use in the public

  City manager Edward M. Augustus Jr. is working on improving the issue of drugs being used outside also in public places. In the article, it stats that not only people overdosed outside but in libraries, the union station, and city hall. Take a second and take that in. In the library you see people of all ages, from children to adults. The people taking these drugs are homeless people, even thou some have a place to stay in the homeless shelter. There is not enough room for all of the homeless people in this community. They cant just move this problem else where because it will only cause more problems. Even thou some district council members have done some work to prevent this from happening, but its still popping up. What more can we do as a community to provide help for the city?

Emotional testimony from bombing victim's father

As the Boston Bombing trial starts up, there has been a lot of things that was looked over. On the second day of the trial, a survivor that lost his eight year old son on that day, took his turn on the stand. William Richard, the father, came to give his testimony even thou he lost his son. The sad thing is there was protesters for Tsarnaev, the bomber, before the trials even started. My question to those people is what if that was your son you lost? Would you still fight for Tsarnaev's rights? On top of that Richards family was also there, His wife, daughter, and his other son Henry. They all have suffered some dramatic injuries that might be permanent. As the day was coming to an end for the trials, Richard says, "I can still hear music. And  I can still hear the beautiful voices of my family." What a way to end the trials. In a personal note, prayers to Williams Richard's family.
