On September 29, Antwan Maurice Pittman was charged with 1st degree murder for alleged killing of Tamara Nicholson in 2009. Antwan said to the court “you all are sending an innocent man to prison for life," "I did not kill that woman." Antwan’s aunt Karin Pittman told the WRAL reporters that the jury got it wrong, everybody wants justice, but I don't think justice was served today”. Tamara Nicholson was 1 of women who were missing when their bodies were found over a four-year period across 3counties. Locations close to where Pittman had lived at some point in his life. All of these women that were found dead were known at Holly Street which itself is known for prostitution and drugs. Edgecombe County police wouldn’t comment Thursday on where the other investigations stand but their families have said they are convinced that Pittman is responsible for their losses too. I think he didn’t do it the cops just need someone tho blame so they blame it on one person which saves a lot of work.

In Winston-Salem President Obama told the citizens of NC that this state will be very important when it comes to the next election. On a Thursday interview with WXII-TV Obama said he's planning on "actively campaigning”. The state as he hopes to win another term in the White House. He’s already visited North Carolina twice in the four months, promoting his solutions to the country's going unemployment problem. North Carolina has tilted Republican in recent decades Obama won the state in 2008. He had opinion for some of the state's top college basketball programs. The president expects good things from Duke and North Carolina, but says Wake Forest still has some rebuilding to do. I think he’s just sucking up to use for a vote.

In Libson, Portugal an American killer and alleged hijacker who was a fugitive for 41 years should have the rest of his jail time in Portugal. Where he was captured instead of being extradited to the United States. George Wright broke out of Bayside State Prison in Leesburg, New Jersey on 9/9/70. After 8 years for killing a man in a 1962 gas station robbery. George now at 68 was found living in Portugal was there for about 30 years and has a Portugal wife and children. His lawyer said Wright will “oppose extradition on the grounds that he fears reprisals for his past membership in the militant U.S. group”. He did not elaborate. I think he should be locked up for life.

In Berlin, Namibian tribal leaders took possession Friday of the skulls of 20 of their countrymen, taken by German colonial forces more than a century ago for racial experiments. The handing over of the skulls a reminder of Germany's short-lived past in Africa. This included the bloody suppression of a Herero and Nama uprising between 1904 and 1908 that left tens of thousands dead. The heads of 4 females and 16 males, including a young boy of about 3, were took from their bodies and preserved in formaldehyde with faces, skin and hair. Researchers said it is not clear how the people died. They were possibly victims of German forces in Namibia at the time, or died in a German-run camp. The remains arrived in Berlin between 1909-1914, scientists tried to prove the "racial superiority" of white Europeans to black Africans. I Think this is wrong for so many reasons but right for science.

Americans earned less last month, the 1st decline in nearly 2years. With less income, consumers could cut back on a fragile economy. Consumers spent more in August. Consumer spending rose just 0.2 percent, after a more robust 0.7 percent gain in July. Many tapped savings to cover the steeper costs. And most of the increase in spending went to pay higher prices for food and gas. When adjusted for inflation, August consumer spending was flat. Stocks fell after the report's release. The data told “more evidence that households are in quite a bind," said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics. I think it’s gonna take more than one president’s sentence.
