Opportunity 1:
1.
Florida OKs $4.5
million payout for brutal prison shower death of Darren Rainey
3.
Darren Rainey
was barbarically murdered in a prison shower by guards who used torture methods
to punish disobedient inmates. The guards locked him in a scalding hot shower
in which he eventually died, with his skin peeling off his body. The settlement
for his death came years after the incident occurred, leaving the family of the
victim distraught for many years until a resolution occurred.
4.
The problem that
occurred was due to cruel guards in the Dade Correctional Institution. The
inmates were subject to cruel punishments that aren’t approved by the
government. These methods have killed and drawn light to the punishments that
inmates occasionally deal with.
5.
Those dealing
with this problem are inmates who suffer the punishments from unruly guards as
well as the families that have to deal with the mental repercussions that are
caused by these cruel acts.
Opportunity 2:
1.
In the hunt for
undocumented immigrants, Border Patrol agents hassle citizens, too
3.
Joshua
Dobarganes, Miami-born was stopped by border patrol as he was getting off a
Greyhound bus. They were checking him to see if he was an illegal immigrant. He
had never had any problems before and has grown up in Miami and attended FIU.
He wasn’t the only person to be hassled with these problems, however, his point
was that in the search for illegal immigrants, lawful citizens are also getting
hassled with these checks.
4.
Citizens who
appear to be illegal immigrants get hassled with border patrol even when they
have full documentation and are abiding by all laws. These situations are often
uncomfortable and in some cases can even be traumatic for citizens and they are
occasionally avoidable.
5.
Citizens that
appear to possibly be illegal immigrants. While minding their own business can
be subject to uncomfortable checks for documentation at their own expense and
inconvenience.
Opportunity 3:
1.
Before son's
gruesome crime, she turned to state's mental health system. It didn't help
3.
Jerome Wright
suffers from severe schizophrenia and during his battle, ended up mutilating
his girlfriend and was sentenced to Jail. The main problem that was faced wasn’t
with him, but with his family. His mother, Della, tried throughout Jerome’s
life to find a fix for Jerome’s outbursts and medical issues. However, with a
low income and poor institutions to solve Jerome’s problems weren’t easily
dealt with. She tried legal institutions to solve his problems and Jerome was
able to escape treatment and hide in his bedroom to the ultimate product being
Jerome’s jailing for killing his girlfriend.
4.
The main problem
here is that there was no way for Della to deal with her son’s mental issues.
With a lower ended income it was tough for Jerome’s mother to find adequate
treatment leaving her feeling helpless. Even if she had more money at her
disposal the institutions available to families are inadequate and resulted
very poorly for the Wright family.
5.
Families that
are dealing with mental issues have a tough time dealing with those problems
because of poor institutions as well as high prices, making it difficult for
lower income families.
Opportunity 4:
1.
What to do if an
Immigration or Border Patrol officer confronts you
3.
This news
article is essentially a crash course for citizens who are potentially subject
to being interrogated by border patrol or immigration. It’s giving advice to
those who could be questioned because even with proper documentation the border
patrol and immigration can finagle their way into getting citizens to mess up
and say or do the wrong things. Especially with the risk that immigration and
border patrol officers take daily to perform their job, they’re already on edge
and any sketchy behavior can set them off. This was stemmed by the raiding of
several 7-11 stores nationwide in the suspicion of undocumented employment from
illegal immigrants.
4.
The problem here
stems from the fact that Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration has caused
tensions between citizens that are suspected of being undocumented immigrants
and those that enforce these rules.
5.
Immigrants,
lawful citizens, illegal immigrants, and the troops that enforce these rules
are all victim to these rising tensions.
Opportunity 5:
1.
Wild turkeys are
terrorizing a Florida neighborhood, and the law is on their side
3.
A Seminole county
community neighborhood is having problems with wild turkeys hanging around the
neighborhood harassing the people who live there. They peck and stop children
playing around the neighborhood and cars driving by. There is nothing that the
residents can do to the turkeys because they are protected game animals so they
cannot be displaced.
4.
The problem is
that because this is such an obscure problem that the residents are dealing
with, and there is legal protection for the turkeys because they are protected
animals, there is a stalemate between the residents, the law, and the turkeys.
There is no solution in sight for any of the parties involved.
5.
The residents
that are having to deal with the turkeys and the law enforcement who are being
put into a hard place are those who are having to deal with the problem.
