I read an article called, Flat tires, missing wheels don't deter Commerce City car thief and it made me think of why people steal so much? A car theif took the entire front wheel and the real wheel off a truck by going over the stop sticks in the road. I guess he really wanted the car! Somehow the guy got away and left the truck on abandoned on the side of the road.

I read an article called, Royal Gorge jet-pack stunt successful and it made me think about how far technology is going lately. Somehow scientists managed to make a hydrogen-peroxide powered jet pack that actually works. What's next a flying car? Or robots to do everything for us? The jet pack couldn't fly for longer than 20 seconds so the military saw it as pointless to use. I believe it is crazy that the man that flew across the Royal Gorge and not use a parachute, he must of been really reliable on the jet pack to fly him across. I would wear a parachute if I was flying a jet pack than can only fly for about 20 seconds over 1,100 feet deep gorge. Science has brought a fictional item, into the real world.

I read a disturbing article, Sheridan teacher charged in child-sex case and I found it disgusting how teachers would actually have sex with students. Sexual assualt is nor okay and there is too many people trying to get away with it and they need to be stopped. The student should of been having sex with his teacher in the first place. The lady was twenty five and the kid was underaged and she shouldn't of taken advantage of her students. This was a dumb idea on both parts and I believe they both need to be punished.

I read the article, Weld County raid nets $1 million in cocaine and it made me realize how clueless the law is with drug. They also found $42,000 in cash along with the cocaine. I can't believe we even have a drug task force and we still haven't show'd much sucess on stopping illegal drugs. They are still on an ongoing investigation and don't even know who actually did it. They need to do more work to keep our state or even country safer.

In the article, Denver drive-by shooter kills victim just makes me realize how fast your life can end just be being by a street. A man was walking down the street with two of his friends at 10:45 at night. There has been no suspects yet and the shot guy has not been identified yet. Streets are dangerous and I think people need to take more thought into what they're causing and what they're doing to others before they do it. It scares me to know people that dangerous are roaming the streets. This young man was only twenty-one and his life already ended right when he was a legal adult, this story makes me worry about our own safety in Denver.

I read the article, Cherry Creek schools locked down as precaution and it was kind of scary to me. Four Cherry Creek schools were shut down because of kids reporting seeing a group of men with guns. No weapons were found on seven high school suspects after they were searched. They have not found anything on the boys yet but they're waiting to find out more. It's scary to think guns could be brought into our school and people could get seriously injured or even killed. I remember when I was in middle school, In eigth grade at Powell and their was a robery at a bank and we went in lock down and locked all the doors to the school.

I read the article, 6 treated for carbon minoxide in Centennial. This article made me realize how hazardous car starting in garages can really be. Three adults and three kids were treated with carbon minoxide poisoning this morning. Someone forgot they left their car running in a garage and fell alseep all night and it gave off hazardous fumes. The people who got poisoned thought they had food poisoning but one person was completely out of it when they were talking on the phone to a friend. What matters here is to be careful and never leave your car running or you can harm yourself and others.

I read, Littleton soccer coach faces child sexual assault and I found it terrifying. I used to play on challenge two on U14 and to think that would happen with my own league is just disterbing. As you know, lots of girls my age have been coached by this man. Parents should not have to be scared by just dropping off their kids at practice. To believe a goalie coach can kidnap and sexuall assault one of his players on the team is unbelievable. I think this man should be put away for life, the parents trusted him around their kids and he just took advantage of it.
