Arizona Lawmaker Makes Proposal to Legalize Marijuana

Narcotics Found Near the Border

Arizona Lawmaker Making Plans to Legalize Marijuana

 

Marijuana has been a hot topic since President Obama won the election. Arizona lawmaker has decided to make plans for a proposal. What kind of proposal? One to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. When is this happening? Well he’s making plans to introduce a proposal next year. This is before a similar proposal could get decided by voters which would be in 2016.

 

The Arizona Capitol Times Report:

Republican Rep. Ethan Orr of Tucson plans to make the case to fellow conservatives that a voter-approved measure is nearly impossible to change once it is approved and not the way to set up a complicated regulation and taxation system for the drug.

Legalizing Marijuana has been a heated subject for a long time. People believe legalizing marijuana is the “beginning” of the end. I think that’s crazy talk. Let’s legalize it and gay marriage and move on. Everyone has a right to live the way they want to, as long as it’s not hurting anyone else with however you choose to live your life. Advocates for legalizing marijuana for recreational use are wanting to put their proposal on the Arizona ballot in 2016. Looks like they might not have to if this new bill gets passed.

Voters have been very loud with their opinions, whether you are for it or against it it’s been very clear that the majority of voters have approved the use of marijuana to treat chronic pain, cancer, as well as other medical conditions. It’s been ok for medical use, so why not recreational use?

However, Republican Represent-or Bob Thorpe. Bob is for Flagstaff area and he is pretty concerned about what he has been hearing about Colorado’s legalization experiment.

Teenagers Fight at Arizona State Fair

Teenagers Fight at Arizona State Fair

Group of Teenagers Fight at Phoenix Fair

 

The state fair is a very memorable time for a lot of children and teens. First kisses on the Ferris Wheel, winning a Gold fish, the great carnival food. The fair is also a place for robbery and mischief. According to the local authorities, dozens of teenagers had gotten into a huge fight on the opening night of the Arizona State Fair. The fair happens in Phoenix.

 

The Phoenix Police and the Arizona Department of Public Safety were at the scene at the fair. It was at 19th Avenue and McDowell. This huge fight happened last Friday night.

 

Police Arrest 30 Teenagers at State Fair

 

The police officers said that they had to detain at least thirty teenagers at the fairgrounds. They were all released into the care of their parents. Police say that there must have been as many as sixty teenagers involved, as well as some of them fighting with the police.

 

Teenagers weren’t the only ones in trouble for fighting at the fair. It’s sad to say that two adults were also arrested, one of which was a woman, for kicking and hitting a police officer. Police still aren’t real sure of what caused the fight. The fair will end on November second. Hopefully there isn’t anymore brawls at the fair. It’s sad that fairs are meant to be a fun and family friendly place that people ruin it.

 

Make sure to keep a good watch on your young children at these fairs. They could be the ones in the fights, abducted, raped, robbed. There’s a million wrong doing’s at these family events. Just because it’s a supposed safe place doesn’t mean there aren’t people trying to do bad things during the fair.

Priest Brutally Beaten but Expected to Recover

A Phoenix Priest was badly beaten in a attack. The attack killed another clergyman. The attack happened at a Roman Catholic Church in the downtown Phoenix area. According to the church officials, luckily the Priest is expected to make a full recovery.

According to a visiting pastor from San Diego (Rev. Carl Gismondi) The Reverend, Joseph Terra has been moved out of the hospital’s intensive care unit on Saturday night but will still need some time to recuperate after the attack that happened last Wednesday night.

Gismondi led the Sunday Morning Mass had recently visited the fifty-six year old, Rev. Terra at the hospital.

Gismondi’s statement about the Priest’s condition

He was in good spirits.

Police were very worried at first that Rev. Terra wouldn’t survive his severe injuries.

More than one hundred parishioners at the Mother of Mercy Mission had gathered to mourn the twenty-eight year old Rev. Kenneth Walker. Rev. Walker was shot to death by a suspect that the Police are still looking for.

Police Are Searching for Suspect who Shot the Priest

Police are searching for a white male between the ages of 40 and 49 years old. Investigators have been analyzing forensic evidence from the crime scene and Walker’s car. But with few leads, they have gone door to door looking for witnesses.

Gismondi asked for prayers for Terra’s recovery, Rev. Walker, and the unknown suspect. Even though everyone wants to see the man brought to justice, the Catholic believe that you should “pray for those who cause harm”.

A Visitor from Text, Marisa Martinez Talks about the Traci Shooting

It was definitely very real when you come here and see the flowers and the policeman out in front. To hear of anyone being murdered, especially a priest, it is very tragic.

One of the regulars said that her two children adored Rev. Walker.

The traffic stop ended with gunfire. According to Officer Holmes, the suspects that were in the vehicle fired at the officer that made the initial traffic stop which was around three o’clock in the morning. They were driving a 2008 Mercury Sable that had dark tinted windows.

 

The officer then approached the vehicle and talked briefly with the passengers. After his chat with the passengers he walked to the back to the patrol car and waited for backup. When backup arrived, they then tried to approach the suspects vehicle. That is when Mr. Ramon allegedly fired a weapon at the officers.

 

DPS Officer Shot

 

The DPS Officer was shot in the face and then the suspects quickly fled the scene. The two officers that came as backup quickly returned the fire at the vehicle and then began to try to help the injured DPS Officer. According to Officer Holmes, the suspects drove around the hotel and then approached the officers once again and started the shooting again. Officer Holmes called it a “desperate act” to shoot at the on-scene officers.

 

The Mercury Sable was found abandoned at a home near 29th Avenue and Pima. The vehicle wasn’t reported stolen. No other information was given about the vehicle or home where it was found.

 

Holmes Statement:

I had no idea what was going on, when I got there they told me that the car was involved in the shooting and it was a shock to me.

Man Arrested for Exposing Himself to Children At School

Police Arrest Man for Exposing Himself to Children

 

Police have rightfully so, arrested a sick man for being in connection with a disgusting incident near the Valley school last week. When you send your children to school, you trust that they are safe. When something like this happens, you feel violated and helpless. How are you supposed to send your kids to school when there’s sick people out in the world like this?

 

The police detectives identified the man as a twenty nine year old. They are pretty sure he’s the one who exposed himself to a sixteen year old girl. The girl was just minding her own business and walking to school on that Friday morning.

 

Suspect Arrested for Exposing Himself to Teen

 

The twenty-nine year old man, Casey Brisbin was arrested at a hotel which was near the Interstate 17 and Peoria Avenue. The male suspect, of course denied his involvement in the incident. If he’s worthless enough to do this, of course he would deny it. However, he was found to have a criminal history which included indecent exposure. The man was booked on public sexual indecency and indecent exposure.

 

The Phoenix Police Department is asking for any other potential victims to come forward.  If you’ve been a victim to this man’s sick doings, please come forward before he gets free and does this or worse things to other young girls. Take a stand and fight against the man who  probably scared and scarred you for a very long time or even your life. Don’t let this man get free and do this to other girls. If you have had a problem with this man, please call the local authorities as soon as you can. Put away this pervert so he can’t do this any more.
