SCP-049
In this article, I will be talking about SCP-049. This entity is also known as the Plague Doctor, he was caught in southern France where an investigation of several missing people occurred. During a raid, officers discovered that upon entering the home, they were attacked by these things SCP-049 had created. They saw him standing writing in a journal observing what was happening. After the officers destroyed the things created by SCP-049, he went with them willingly. Shortly after his containment, Dr. Raymond Hamm conducted an interview with SCP-049. In this interview, SCP-049 started talking in French when Dr. Hamm asked for a translator, to which SCP-049 replied in English stating that a translator is not needed. Dr. Hamm then introduces himself and SCP-049 interest rises and he asks what his specialty was. Dr. Hamm then replied with Cryptobiology. SCP-049 then starts talking of The Pestilence, which is just defined as a disease. SCP-049 says that he cured the people in France. Dr. Hamm starts telling SCP-049 that those people are no longer human. SCP-049 agrees but then asks for a lab of his own so he can continue his research. Dr. Hamm was very hesitant and started to tell SCP-049 that the foundation wouldn’t allow that, but SCP-049 brushed it off and insisted. The foundation allowed SCP-049 to continue its research as they kept a close eye on SCP-049 doing research of their own. They provided mammal corpses for it to do its research on. SCP-049 was given his first patient, D-85123 who was pulling out stuff from his bag and asking typical doctors questions. After it had gotten everything it needed it then killed D-85123 by touching their throat. After killing D-85123 SCP-049 started making some unusual changes to the structure of D-85123 and would often add fluids with a hand-pumped tube. After this D-85123 came back to life and started screaming and grabbing at the walls. SCP-049 watches and takes notes. After finishing its notes SCP-049 was escorted back to containment. D-85123 attacked the personnel escorting SCP-049 as they removed SCP-049, after SCP-049 was back in containment they disposed of what they call instance SCP-049-2. The foundation then provided SCP-049 with the corpse of a goat which it showed gratitude. SCP-049 operated on the goat for several days. This eventually resulted in the instance of SPC-049-2, SCP-049 expressed that he was pleased with the outcome though he was not too good with working on animals and that the disease had just appeared and was still fresh. Its next patient was the corpse of a deceased orangutan. SCP-049 was very grateful to receive this corpse because of its similarity to humans. SCP-049 operated on the corpse for several days bringing it back to life several times. SCP-049 was very disappointed and frustrated with the results SCP-049 would keep returning to the corpse to make additional changes. When SCP-049 could not bring it back to life a fifth time it turned it over to the foundation. SCP-049 stated that it had not yet come across such a block to the cure. Its next patient was the corpse of a bovine, which SCP-049 showed that it was a bit annoyed by this patient but excepted it non the less. SCP-049 spent several days working on the bovine, it would only take a break to dine on thin crackers, salted pork, and hard cheese. It has stated that it does not need to eat but enjoys eating, it says that it puts them in the right mood to operate. SCP-049 pulled out several syringes filled with a dark liquid which it described as the essence of humor. It then stated that the Pestilence may bring about a systemic imbalance. In such a case, before true healing can begin, one must find the humors in balance or the body will reject the cure. SCP-049 rearranged the organs of the bovine and produced a lightning rod which Dr. Hamm replaced with an electric cattle prod attached to an extension cord. SCP-049 then stuck the corpse in several places this brought the bovine back to life. After this patient, Dr. Hamm conducted another interview. Dr. Hamm starts by stating that they have watched SCP-049 work for several weeks but still did not understand and asked if SCP-049 could describe its process. SCP-049 told him no and that it has all its records in its journal. Dr. Hamm then goes on to say that he does not understand what SCP-049 is trying to cure or how it manifests or how turning the corpses into mindless drones helps its efforts. SCP-049 says that after all this time you still do not understand the Pestilence, it is a horror that I have found myself blessed with the knowledge to root it out and destroy it. At this Dr. Hamm states that SCP-049 did not answer his question and to add asks how is this cure any kind of cure at all. This upsets SCP-049 and he starts to raise his voice and get a bit agitated saying it is a cure. That his cure made the creature's life better than any life it could have lived with the Pestilence. Dr. Hamm replied with these are not creatures at all, SCP-049 cuts him off saying, don’t jape at me doctor! Dr. Hamm then apologizes and says that he did not mean to agitate SCP-049. SCP-049 says that Dr. Hamm should mind his words but it will forgive this as a show of good faith between colleagues. Dr. Hamm asks if there is anything he can do to help, SCP-049 states that the only thing it want’s is another subject on the regular schedule. On April 16, 2017, Dr. Hamm went in to do another interview with SCP-049. On this day SCP-049 seemed a bit anxious when Dr. Hamm entered. It had asked if he was feeling well and Dr. Hamm just replied stating that the interview was required. At this point, SCP-049 grew hostile and attacked Dr. Hamm killing him. Dr. Hamm was not found for three hours because of a lapse in protocol and the fact that he did not activate the in-chamber emergency caller, by the time he was found SCP-049 had operated and turned him into an instance of SCP-049-2. Shortly after this incident, Dr. Sherman did an interview with SCP-049, he asked it to explain itself. SCP-049 did not respond, which irritated Dr. Sherman and he raised his voice asking it to explain itself again. Finally, SCP-049 says that its actions do not need to be explained. Dr. Sherman then shouts that SCP-049 killed Dr. Hamm and butchered him. To this SCP-049 shouts back not dead no not dead, he is cured. Dr. Sherman asked cured of what? They argue about the Pestilence a bit. Dr. Sherman says that SCP-049’s cure turned Dr. Hamm into a vegetable and cost him his life. The interview ends with SCP-049 babbling about having saved Dr. Hamm. The next interview was conducted by Dr. Itkin, he starts the interview by stating that the interview is to close the investigation of what happened to Dr. Hamm. He then asks if SCP-049 has anything to say. SCP-049 states that it is looking forward to the day when the foundation will allow it to continue its work. Dr. Itkin then asks if SCP-049 has felt any remorse for what it did to Dr. Hamm. SCP-049 responds not by saying yes it feels remorse but by saying it is regrettable to lose a colleague. Dr. Itkin states that Dr. Sherman noted that in his interview with SCP-049 that it seemed mournful. SCP-049 says perhaps it did not think of that, it continues by saying that it has decided that the cure is little help to the dead and only wants to work on the living. Dr. Itkin tells SCP-049 that it will be disappointed but SCP-049 just laughs and responds with I wouldn’t be so sure. SCP-049 spent a decade in its containment, not allowed to work on his cure, Doctor Frederic Omage then called upon him for some help. SCP-049 was excited to hear a voice and to be given a patient again the reason not only being that the foundation needed its help but also because it was SCP-049's containment day. The doctor sent in three men the one in the mind held a box, SCP-049 started to approach the man. The doctor told it to back up and SCP-049 looked confused. Dr. Omage ordered the man to lay the box down, he did and the three men exited the containment. Dr. Omage told SCP-049 to pick up the box and open it. SCP-049 picks up and opens the box looking in at a little mosquito it thinks for a long moment before starting to work on it. After a while, the little mosquito slowly starts moving. Startled the mosquito starts saying where am I what is going on. SCP-049 explains and the Doctor comes back over the speaker asking if it is done with the patient. Dr. Omage orders the guards to remove the mosquito. This is the last log for SCP-049 and his work on finding a cure for The Pestilence.

My top 10 dangerous snakes
This article is about my list of the top 20 most dangerous snakes in the world. Snake number one on my list is the Black Mamba of Africa. The Black Mamba is actually more of a grey or brown not really black it gets its name from its black mouth, which is black. The Black Mamba is feared because it is large and fast, it also has a very potent venom that kills most of its human victims. Snake number two is the Fer-De-Lance viper from Central America. Their venom is necrotizing and very painful more times than not it ends in death. The Fer-De-Lance injects about 105mg of venom in one bite although they have been recorded of a venom yield of 310mg when being milked for venom. These snakes can range from a dark brown to like a coppery brown. They have like a triangular pattern going down their backs. Snake number three is the saw-scaled viper. The saw-scaled viper is said to be one of the deadliest snakes scientists believe them to be responsible for most of human deaths. The saw-scaled viper typically is are colored to match their surroundings so they are grey, reddish, olive, and pale brown. They have a saw-like scale pattern on their backs which is where they get the name saw-scaled viper. Moving right on along to snake number four the Banded Krait. The Banded Krait is one of the most venomous snakes related to Cobra. Their venom is a neurotoxin and induces paralysis. The Banded Krait is typically either black and yellow striped or black and white striped. Snake number five is the Gaboon viper. The Gaboon viper is from the rainforests and savannas of sub-Saharan Africa. They have the longest fangs of all venomous snakes, their fangs are 2 inches or 5 centimeters. They also have the highest venom yield of all the venomous snakes. Their coloration is a combination of light and dark brown, pink and purple arranged in diamonds and stripes along its back. Light and dark lines radiate from around its small eyes. It has a short tail, and its broad head mimics a fallen leaf, right down to the central vein. Snake number six is the King Cobra the are from the jungles in Southern and Southeast Asia. they are distinguishable from other cobras, their neck pattern and size are the biggest difference. They are the world's longest venomous snakes. Their coloration varies from black with white stripes to unbroken brownish grey. The king cobra is one of the only snakes that feed on other snakes including smaller king cobras, it is very rare for them to hunt other animals such as rodents and lizards. Snake number seven is the Inland Taipan. Their venom is a complex mix of neurotoxins, procoagulants, and mycotoxins. The Inland Taipan’s coloring is normally a dark tan ranging from a rich dark hue to a brown greenish color. Snake number eight is the eastern tiger snake. The eastern tiger snake inhabits the southern ridge of Australia. When striking they flatten their heads similar to that of the cobras. Their venom is a blood clotting and nerve paralyzer which is possibly fatal to humans. Their coloring is typically brown, or green, and can even be olive sometimes. Snake number nine is the boomslang. This is one of few snakes that have rear fangs so it has to chew on its prey to inject its venom. The boomslangs male coloring ranges from a solid bright green to rust-red or a combination of black and yellow. Where for females typically have a dull olive-brown or grey color. And juveniles are quite spectacular with bright emerald eyes, white throat, and cryptic, twig-colored bodies. Snake number ten and the final snake on my list is the cat snake. This is another rear-fanged snake which means it too has to chew its food to inject its venom. They mostly eat frogs but also sometimes eat lizards. The coloring is typically light brown in color with dark brown spots or blotches on the back but the most famous color is black with a yellow belly.

My Business and College Journey
Today I am taking big steps toward my future career, I am wanting to take you on a positive trip showing you how I am working toward my goal and that having positivity in your life can make wonderful things happen. I am now in college and have started my own business. I have been working toward the goal of starting my own business for many years now I just never knew what that business would be, now I know exactly what business I want to go into. That business is the Wedding Officiating business. I have started this business all on my own with no outside help. This business has been a passion that I never knew I had, it only came up when my best friend got married. I then started thinking about getting Ordained which I finally did a few months ago, but I never thought I would start a business surrounding that. About a month after I got my Ordained Certificate my job I was working at was bought and I was told that stuff was going to be changing. The person who bought the store was wanting everyone to reapply and call for an interview. After much thought, I decided to say goodbye to that job and move forward in my life I wanted to go back to school and get into Wedding Officiating. It took me quite a few weeks to decide to go on with starting my business, I had no idea where to start. I finally decided that the best place to start was by getting my name out there, so I made a Facebook page for it. But I felt that was not enough, so I decided to build a website. I still didn’t feel like that was enough either so I went and order some business cards. Now I have everything for my business. I am now enrolled in a business school as well. I was very negative for most of my life, but this past year I have realized that negativity gets you nothing but bad luck and everything falling apart and going wrong. Things have turned around for me finally things are going my way and I feel it is because I have learned to always have a positive attitude and a positive outlook on things. If you enter any situations with negativity or negative attitude things will not go the way you want. I have been so happy with the way my life has turned around. Even though I have yet to actually have any customers I still look at this new beginning with a positive attitude and am positive that I will be involved in many weddings. It is not always what people want but you have to look at all situations with positive outcomes otherwise you set yourself up to fail. I honestly can’t wait for my business to pick up and people to start talking about my business. I have also stated that I am in business school too, I am looking to expand things and I feel that a business degree could help me with that. I will be writing again to keep you all updated about my business and schooling. I am so excited to start this path and am so excited to share this with all of you. I want to thank all of you for reading my stuff because all of the money I make from my posts goes toward my schooling and business. This is going to be an amazing journey and I can’t wait to see where it leads and again thank you.

Mythical Creatures
USA mythical creatures that might be real… part three. Number one is Massachusetts Dover Demon. The Dover Demon is said to have rosy orange skin with a big head on a stick-like body, it walks on all four and has glowing eyes. It can fuse with rocks, it is clear that it is either an alien or an escaped science experiment. This is one of the only creatures to have a shade of eye shadow named after it. Number two is the Michigan Dogman. In 1887 two lumberjacks chased a dog into a corner and pocked it with a stick which then stood up on its hind legs showing that it had to be some kind of dog-man. The dogman was peaceful but the woodsmen ran in terror just the same. They describe it as a seven-foot-tall blue-eyed canine-like animal with a human torso and a fearsome howl that sounds like a human scream. Number three is the Minnesota Wendigo. The Wendigo is a human-eater that may have been cursed for an act of cannibalism while still looking somewhat normal. It is described as being gaunt to the point of emaciation, its skin pulled tightly around its protruding bones. It’s ash-gray and gives off a disturbing odor of decay and decomposition. Number four is the Mississippi Pascagoula River Alien. The carrot-headed aliens who visited a pair of night-fishermen on the Pascagoula River in a glowing egg-shaped spaceship may just have been symptoms of the witness’s hunger. Or they might have been robots; either way, they’ve not returned, having been satisfied by the experiments they conducted on the two perfectly sober men. They are five-foot robots. Number five is the Missouri Momo. Other than leaving a three-toed footprint it would be easy to mistake this hairy foul-smelling creature for somebody’s dad. Other than disturbing picnics this creature seems harmless. Local reports describe Momo as a foul-smelling hairy monster that leaves 3 toed footprints. According to witnesses, the creature seemed to have no neck and was 6-7 feet tall. Its face was hidden in a mass of hair. Number six is the Montana Shunka Warak’in. Disclaimer: this monster is real. Whether it’s a monster or not is up for debate, but a 19th-century rancher killed and mounted the wolf-like thing which had pestered local natives for generations. Today, the owner of the stuffed creature refuses to have Shunka Warak’in ( meaning “carries off dogs”) DNA tested, so what the monster truly remains a mystery. Witnesses who got a good look at Shunka Warak’in described it as being nearly black, with high shoulders and a back that sloped downward much like a hyena. Number seven is the Nebraska Alkali Lake Monster. Though some claim this monster to be a hoax designed to sell newspapers, you can’t help but feel the hoaxers got the tone just right – no magic here, just a combination of an alligator (terrifying), a rhino (dangerous), and a stench (unsavory) rolled up into one and expanded to a 100-foot length. Whatever it is it caused a big stink. The Alkali Lake Monster is described as a giant brown alligator with a rhinoceros horn on its nose and is said to be 40-100 feet long. Number eight is the Nevada Tahoe Tessie. Tessie could be a plesiosaur. Or a gigantic eel. Legend has it that the serpent-like monster lived in a cave beneath the lake. Sightings of this 80-foot-long serpent known as Tahoe Tessie continue to this day. Number nine is the New Hamshire Wood Devils/ Wood Devils of Coos county. Although wood devils more likely to scarper at an incredible pace than to attack passing humans, locals are unnerved enough by this oversized cross between an evil spirit, a meerkat, and an alien, to have come up with a reassuring alternative: maybe it is just a sasquatch. According to eyewitness reports, these sleek wood devils are so good at blending in with their surroundings that you might walk into one before you saw it. Those who claim to have seen them describe them as more than 7 feet tall and covered in grayish hair. Number ten is the New Jersey Jersey Devil. An eighteenth-century mother, frustrated that she’d fallen pregnant yet again, cursed out loud that her unborn thirteen kid would be “the devil.” Big mistake. Although born humanlike, the little guy soon mutated into the midwife-slaughtering, cattle-bothering demon we know and love today. Upon the newly born child’s sudden transformation, it grew a goat head, hooves, bat-like wings, and a barbed tail.

My Story
This is my story. I will start by telling you that my story is not that pretty and it is harsh. It starts with me deciding that I wanted to be friends with my ex, with the hopes of winning him back. He called me one day over the summer just before freshman year, he asked if I was down to hang out and maybe do more. I said yes, which I later regretted. So we met at an abandoned house and talked for a while, then we started to kiss and remove clothing. He had me pinned to the floor and asked if I was ready I wanted to say no, I wanted to shake my head push him off me but I froze and he took that as a yes. Even when I put my hands on his chest trying to stop him he kept going, he finished and left me there. I got dressed and was too ashamed and scared to tell anyone so I kept my mouth shut. For years I kept that secret, I started having nightmares and was constantly afraid. I hated being touched and felt scared every time someone was interested in dating me. I felt like it was going to happen again. I finally let someone else in my life and I wanted to please him so I gave him whatever he wanted even if I didn’t want it. This includes sexual stuff, I started letting stuff happen to me without saying a word. Still having nightmares of my ex I just pushed it down and allowed this guy to continue using me. I finally had enough after 3 years of his bull, we broke up but I still allowed all of my ex’s use me. The guy after him was a single father. We dated for a little bit before he got me drunk down by the river and took advantage of me. I finally called it off when he tried to put me in the middle of his baby momma drama. After him I again let guys use me for whatever they wanted, I allowed myself to be used for sex again. I allowed myself to be taken advantage of yet again. I have spent so much time and energy allowing this to consume me. I am now living my life no longer allowing guys to take what they want. I lost so much just cause I let myself think I had no self-worth, I let myself think I was worthless, I let myself think that no one would ever love me. I know now that you have to love yourself before you can allow anyone to love you. I do not take anyone bull anymore, I do not allow anyone to take advantage of me anymore. I have spent many years letting that happen and I no longer will deal with that bull. I am a woman, we are powerful. I have learned to love myself, I know my worth. I know what I want in life and I know I am done playing games with these boys and allowing them to take what they want. This story may make many people think less of me but I honestly stopped caring what people think and what they want. I tell this story because I want to get it off my chest and want to let others who have gone through or are going through a similar situation. I want to let them know that it is ok and that they are not alone.

USA mythical creatures
USA mythical creatures that might be real… part two. Number one is the Hawaii Menehune. The Menehune is a dwarf that is said to inhabit the deep forest and hidden valleys of the Hawaiian Island. They are described as amazing craftspeople, they build temples, fishponds, roads, canoes, and houses. Some of these buildings still exist. They are said to have lived in Hawaii for many centuries before settlers. Their favorite food is said to be the mai’a or the banana, they also like fish. They are said to only appear at night to build, if they do not finish the building they will leave it unoccupied. Only their kids and humans connected to them can see them. Number two is Idaho Sharlie. This is a sea serpent much like the loch ness monster. It is said to inhabit the deep waters of Payette lake which is near McCall, Idaho. The first tale of these serpents is from the Native Americans which stated that evil spirits inhabit the lake. The first sightings were documented in the 1920s and said that the creature was about thirty to thirty-five feet in length with a dinosaur-shaped head and a pronounced jaw, it also had humps like a camel and shell-like skin. Number three is Indiana Beast of Busco. The Beast of Busco is a giant snapping turtle, it is said to weigh around five hundred pounds. It lives in a lake that many farms had owned and reported to have seen it. Though many people reported they have seen it a search had taken place and turned up nothing, the creature was never found. Number four is the Illinois Enfield Monster. This is an unidentified creature that was sighted around Enfield, Illinois. It is said to possibly be an ape or an escaped kangaroo. It was reported to have three legs, with a short body, two small short arms, and two flashlights sized pink eyes. It stood about four and a half feet tall and had a greyish color. Number five is the Iowa Van Meter Monster. The Van Meter monster is an eight-foot winged creature that has a forehead horn that shoots out a beam of light. Number six is the Kansas Sink Hole Sam, Locals have speculated that the eel-like creature had been living in a prehistoric underground cavern that had filled with water from a sinkhole. This flooding allowed the creature to finally escape. Fishermen reported seeing something that was 15 feet in length and as round as an “automobile tire.” Number seven is Kentucky The Kelly Little Green Men/ Hopkinsville Goblins, Space goblins were the explanation for the little silvery-green-eyed men who tormented the inhabitants of the Sutton farmhouse at Kelly one UFO-filled August night in 1955. If these diminutive aliens don’t sound super-frightening, take care to note that bullets bounce off them like metal! The earliest reports on the incident did not refer to “Little green men.” That color was added later by the national media. Early sightings described them as silver with a greenish silver glow. Number eight is the Louisiana Rougarou/ Loup-Garou, the Rougarou is said to be a werewolf/ shapeshifter. They say it has the body of a human and the head of a wolf, but they have also been said to be a human-otter or a were-cow. It is said to have glowing red eyes and razor-sharp teeth. Number nine is the Maine Specter Moose, this creature is unlike any other in which it is nice just like most people of Maine. It is said to be an enormous ghostly white 10-15 feet tall with formidable antlers, it’s said to glow faintly and can appear and disappear at will. And finally, number ten is the Maryland Chessie. Chessie is Chesapeak Bay’s, Loch Ness monster, it is a camera-shy water monster. It could be an oarfish or an alien. She has been shy since there was video footage of her in the 1980s, perhaps it was because of overfishing. Witnesses have described her as a serpent-like creature with flippers, she is said to be 25-40 feet long. She swims through the water like a snake.

Tarot Readings
I have had quite a few people ask what is a tarot card reader. Well, I am here to answer that question. A tarot card reader is a person who uses cards to show you a glimpse of your future. Now typically they have you think of a question, such as how can I advance my career or how can I strengthen the bond between me and my loved one. Typically you want to ask open-ended questions, also you never ask them out loud you always think of the question. As you think of the question the reader will have you shuffle their deck of cards. They will then have you separate the deck into three smaller decks and then have you put them back into one. After doing this the reader will take the deck, they will then start their tarot layout drawing the top ten cards and laying them face down in the layout. Once all the cards are laid-out the read starting with card one will flip over the cards and begin your reading. Normally the readings can last from thirty minutes to an hour depending on how the reader chooses to explain the cards and the curiosity of the client. And most people tend to freak out when getting a certain card, lets take a closer look at this card. The first card is the Death card, this card typically means that a dramatic change is coming perhaps the end of a situation. When getting cards such as the Death card or The Devil card the placement of the card means a lot if it is placed in the situation place, then typically means that your question has something to do with those cards. When laying out the cards remember to keep your heart open. The most common layout is, card one is the heart of the matter. Card two is what challenges the issue. Card three is an unknown influence. Card four is the past. Card five is hopes and goals. Card six is the future. Card seven is your self-image. Card eight is how others see you. Card nine is guidance and warning. And card ten is the overall outcome. This layout is the most common which makes it seem the easiest, which very well maybe but only if you keep working at it. The more you work with the cards the better your readings will be. Every reading is unique and different but trusting in the cards and what your heart is telling you is key in tarot reading. I have also had people ask what do the cards mean, and how does one get a tarot reading. Each card means something different things in each reading. So cards that people think are bad cards could mean something good depending on the reading and the reader. The most positive cards are the lover’s card means a new relationship may be coming your way, the Strength card means you have strength, the wheel of fortune means events are coming and bringing positivity. These are only a few of the positive cards. And as for the best way to get a tarot reading is to look into finding people who are tarot readers. The research will also help you find a tarot reader. Looking into tarot readings and knowing what you are wanting to know helps both you and the reader. I myself am an online tarot reader and if anyone is interested in looking into having me do a tarot reading for you check out my website at http://belliatarots.wixsite.com/readings. You can book an appointment online or if you are still unsure you can send me a message and I will respond ASAP to discuss with you about making an appointment.

Child murderers
Many people wonder what drives a child to kill. There are many factors to why a child would kill. The most common reason people think of is the home life, a bad home life can do a lot to a young child. Either not having a family or a parent missing in the family. Or having abusive parents can also cause a kid to kill. Another reason is because they may have some sort of mental defect or illness. Alexander Crain was a teenage boy who had shot and killed his mother and father, then called 911 and was hysterical. Alex is a special case in the sense that he had full control over his hysterical outbursts. When he knew that the police were watching him he would be hysterical and upset, but when he did not know the police were watching he would be calm and collected. He ended up pleading guilty to two counts of manslaughter and was sentenced to 20 years, he is currently suring that sentence. Another interesting case is the case of two teenage boys who went off the scream movie. Mario Padillia and Samual Ramirez were cousins who were consumed by the scream movie that they both stabbed and killed Mario’s mother. They had planned to kill teenage girls but did not have the money for the scream costume so they decided to kill and rob Mario’s mother, to get the money for their costumes so that they could move forward with their plan but they were caught by the police before they could get the costumes. Padillia was sentenced to life without parole, and Ramirez will be up for parole after 21 years. Eric Smith is another killer but a different breed. Eric had decided to kill a 4 year old boy and had sotamiced his corpse after he had choked the boy until he had passed out and then dropped a big rock on his head multiple times. At his hearing Eric read an apology to the boy's parents. Eric was sentenced to 9 years to life and has been up for parole multiple times and has been denied every time, he still sits behind bars. Another kid murder is Joseph Hall, he was only 10 years old when he shot and killed his father as he slept on the couch. His father was a plumber and a religious leader of the National Socilaist Movement, he was also a neo Nazi who believed in fighting for an all white society. So Joseph learned how to hate at a young age, his stepmother had discovered that her husband was having an affair. She had woken Joseph up and told him that his father was planning to leave her and take him away, and that the only way to keep the family together was to shoot him. She handed him the gun and told him it would make his father a better person. This is the story he told the police but she could not be charged because of double jeopardy. He was sentenced to a juvenile facility until the age of 23 and will be eligible for parole at the age of 20. This next story is about a young serial killer, named Harvey Robinson. He was a 17 year old kill who raped and killed women ranging from 15 to 47. He was caught when he returned and tried to finish off a woman that had gotten away. The cops decided to set up and stake out and it worked or so they thought Harvey had returned and got into a shootout with the officer. He had broken through the window and escaped. The police asked all hospitals to be on the lookout for a man that is being treated for cuts or gunshot wounds, this is how the cops caught Harvey. He was sentenced to life and is sitting on death row in Pennsylvania. Most of the stories you have read the kids either had mental issues or were in a bad house. Harvey's father was an abusive drunk Joseph’s father and stepmother were both abusive and he also had mental issues. Mario and Samual were an odd case and so was the Alex Crain case. Though there were no confirmed cases of abuse of Alex Crain that is what most people like to say is why he snapped. The Mario and Samual case though went into motion because Mario could not handle rejection. And wanted to kill the women who had rejected him, but he wanted to do it in the same fashion as the scream movies. There are many more cases that have similar outcomes, but those I shall save for another time.

should whales be in captivity?
Should killer whales be captive? Some think yes some think no today I will be talking about some reasons why captive whales and animals do not do very well in captivity. Whales are typically caught and brought in from the wild, there are some whales that have been bred in captivity but have been separated from their mothers at a young age. This is one thing that really messes with the way whales live they live in pods with their family these captive whales are put into an artificial pod, and when they have babies they’re taken from them. This causes what seems to be a depression with the whales. Captive whales are kept under bad conditions with an unnatural diet of dead fish that is thawed. This causes the male whales to have a bent or collapsed dorsal fin. Captivity causes these animals to endure so much. These creatures deserve to be left in the wild. There are at least 166 orcas in captivity, 129 of these whales are now dead. There have been about 166 deaths of orcas in captivity including miscarried and still born calves. There are 20 whales in captivity at the three United States SeaWorld parks and at least 49 whales have died at SeaWorld. The whale capture of 1970 is probably the most infamous, this capture concluded in 7 whales captured and 5 whales died that day. There is only on captured whale still alive in captivity, she is at the Miami Seaquarium. There have been 19 orcas taken from the wild and placed into captivity. There were 10 whales illegally captured whales in Russia in 2018, but where released in the summer of 2019. These creatures are not meant to be held in captivity and made to perform for our amusement. Though many people either do not care what harm can come to these animals and their trainers, there are some who think and fight for these animals to stay in the wild. The owners of the brand SeaWorld are the people who need to realize that these creatures are dangerous. They can and have killed their trainers, these whales are powerful and have a very smart brain. They work out problems and take out their frustrations on whatever they want. SeaWorld has always blamed the trainers and not the whales for the trainers deaths. The most famous whale for killing his trainers is Tilikum. Tilikum has killed 3 people in his 3 decades of being in captivity before he passed on. There has been one whale that was released. Keiko also known as free Willy who captured many hearts in the free Willy movies. He was released but as many believe this was not for his well being, but for the well being of places like SeaWorld. SeaWorld and many people who work with SeaWorld want these animals to stay in captivity and continue to perform for our amusement. SeaWorld thinks that these animals are just for show and amusement, though this is not true. These animals are beautiful creatures who belong in the wild and should stay in the wild. Though there is no laws keeping people from capturing these whales but you do need a permit to capture them and take them into captivity. These laws are specifically put into place for entertainment and scientific reason. Though some believe it should be illegal there is little they can do. As stated previously orcas and many other animals do not do well and are not able to adapt to the life of captivity. These are just some of the many reasons that orcas and other animals should not be held in captivity. This also shows that SeaWorld and other ocean animal parks do not think about the well being of their animals.
