Crime from the Freedom Tower

Four men were arrested on Monday for base-jumping off the Freedom tower in New York, New York in September.  The men were all professional in what they did, however, they sunk into a federal building, which counts as beggarly.  The men talked about how it was funny because it was not difficult at all to sneak into the building and climb to the top when the mayor had recently said that there would be top-notch security because it was the number one target for terrorism in the world. 

            This is a prime example of how sometimes even when there is crime that hurts no one our government cracks down on it.  The day that this story was written there were over six people killed and none of them were recognized.  However, four trained professionals were arrested and are facing prison time for years and years.  The priorities of the United States are sad.  Everyday solders die and are never the headline story but if a new pop star like Justin Bieber goes out and breaks the law reporters droll over it and would kill for the information on it.  Who cares about a rich stuck up kid who sings about sex, money and more sex?  That is what you call immaturity.  Crime in America will always be but when we start highlighting the good instead of the bad people and show them no attention hopefully someday people will have morals that match.  No longer will reporters talk about how some guy jumped off a building but instead talk about the starving child in Greensboro, North Carolina and how we can help.
