Are Gangs Good For The Community?
Gangs are constantly getting bad press. The noun "gangs" is commonly overused to portray the evils of youth culture. However, gangs are a vital part of growing up and help youngsters to become law-abiding citizens. You'll never hear this in the media, as the media portrays gangs as violent groups that promote drugs, guns, and sexual misconduct.

What Happened to Daniel Robinson?
Remains found on September 19, 2021, were confirmed to belong to missing 22-year-old Gabby Petito who disappeared while hiking with her boyfriend in Wyoming earlier this month. This case is the “case of the hour” if you will, leaving other cases like that of Daniel Robinson on the backburner.

The Unsolved Murder of Evelyn Hernandez
Seven months before Laci Peterson’s disappearance and murder, another pregnant woman went missing. Later, her torso washed up near the Embarcadero in San Francisco, California, under the Bay Bridge. The fetus was never found. While Laci Peterson’s case received worldwide coverage, Evelyn Hernandez, a legal immigrant from El Salvador, became lost in the press. The most horrible part of Evelyn Hernandez’s case is that she didn’t go missing alone. Her five-year-old son Alexis Geraldo Hernandez went missing alongside her. Who murdered Evelyn Hernandez, and what happened to Alexis?

How we are being failed (part 1)
This morning I woke up and put on the news, and was saddened by what I saw. I saw a Senate committee with 4 women talking about how they were abused by their doctor. These women were pro gymnasts (Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman, and Maggie Nichols) their abuser (Larry Nassar) was their doctor. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, that they were brave enough to speak up but the FBI did nothing for a year, letting this doctor hurt more women. How could have this happened? This is a travesty that in this day that anyone could go through something so awful, step up and nothing happens for a year. These women are in the spotlight which is why we’re hearing about this now, but so many people who don’t have the popularity to take this to the Senate are still out there, feeling their voices aren’t heard. This should never happen.

Ohio has an extraordinary number of unsolved homicide and missing persons cases. One of the most intriguing ones I have followed for years is the story of Patti Adkins. Patti, a 29-year-old single mother worked at the Honda plant in Marysville, Ohio. After leaving work on June 29, 2001, she vanished. It’s been over twenty years since anyone has seen or heard from her.

Political Corruption in Chatham County, Ga Part One
All parties in this article are public figures, and this is what happened to me, the author. None of this article is based on their personal lives, it is about their actions in their official capacities and this is not a protected area of their life. Given the mainstream media will not investigate or report on their criminal behavior that has harmed and set criminals free. nor is it libel to report facts. These are facts that happened and something the public needs to be aware of. Per the O.C.G. A. truth is a justification and prevents recovery for a party under the libel/slander statute. Despite Jennifer Davenport's threats on Facebook to sue me for slander given the events occurred, even if they are in her view injurious to her reputation, she can not sue me.

#MeToo
MeToo is a social movement originating among women, advocating for survivors of sexual harassment or violence to speak out about their experiences in order to expose and combat various forms of sexual misconduct. Despite having spoken up about what happened to me law enforcement has covered up that it happened. Two agencies are and have been keeping evidence from a third, not that the third agency will even interview me. I was a judicial officer. My colleagues in law enforcement have covered up my sexual assault that happened when I was involved in litigation to protect their jobs. At every turn law enforcement has granted me no rights. In fact, I have been attacked by the Mayor of Brookhaven for merely trying to get him to follow up what he said he would do. I have not even been allowed to make a statement to law enforcement because their Deputy Chief Brandon Gurley, told me to have the press call him. A white college educated former juvenile probation officers has less rights then a tow truck driver. Even the press has covered up the fact the Pooler PD and Chatham County Sheriff's department have been in possession of illegally obtained evidence (by their theft of my electronics and car) for over two years. The fact, Brookhaven PD will not interview a victim in a sexual assault is cause enough for the press to look into the matter. The fact, my ex boyfriend used his patrol buddies to take the evidence knowingly that has prevented the investigation of the sexual assault and the documents in a wrongful termination that was done to protect the employment rights of police officers and prevented the Ga Supreme Court from being made aware is itself enough. Yet I am still being threatened by the department covering up the sexual assault and they have tampered with the evidence to the point that it is unlikely it could be used in Court. There exists hard copies and electronic copies of this evidence with I can not access because they were put in a safe deposit box. A Court order could be issued for the contents of the safe deposit box, but even the a AUSUA has been aware of the situation for almost two years now and refuses to do anything. He didn't think I was crazy he just didn't and doesn't care. That would be AUSA Karl Knoche in Savannah, Ga.
