In Kenya a man is being charged with manslaughter after shooting and killing an undercover wildlife officer researching poaching on his land. He was also involved in another case of similar effects. Thomas Patrick Gilbert Cholmondeley shot and killed a black man who was poaching on his land and was tried for it but not charged. Now he has shot and killed another man who turned out to be a wildlife officer. Mr. Cholmondeley, 40, is facing spending the rest of his life in one of the most notorious prisons in Kenya but his lawyers say he will only spend a few years there.

In Iraq an advisory team attached to Iraqi forces was attacked. Sgt. Davis was shot and killed by an Iraqi soldier in uniform. The private fled to a near by town and was turned over by his tribe. Two marine officers were wounded in the attack and another was killed. This event has destroyed not only lives but the trust we have been working so hard at building with the Iraqi forces.

A man was arrested for swimming across a lake to enter Daw Aung San Suu Kyi a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. She has been on house arrest and is not allowed visitors. There are police blockades and security leading to her house but he swam across the lake and got around all of it. They are unsure of why he was there but they found various items of interest on him when he was arrested.

In North Carolina there is a text line for adolescents to get answers about sex-ed. There are adults from the Pregnancy Prevention Campaign that answer the texts and try to help and comfort these teens. They usually have a hard time doing so in only a few sentences. The idea is good but it all goes back to how adults are slacking at their jobs of being parents.
