The Little Things Americans Take For Granted
America isn’t perfect. The entire country needs a serious makeover and attitude adjustment. We have it better in the country than people in some places, despite the flaws. People in some countries cannot enjoy freedom of speech. Women do not enjoy equal rights. Basic humanneeds like water and electricity are not always available. Simple acts can land someone in jail. We take so much for granted here in America. We’ve come to expect extras like electricity and Internet service. Far too often, we forget that people in some countries could only dream of the same luxuries.

Convicted Murderer Escaped Prison 50 Years Ago. Content Warning.
It is shocking to know that prison inmates had such freedom in the old days. Lester Eubanks should be in prison right now. He, instead, walked away from an inmate program 50 years ago and hasn't been seen since. By all appearances, he lived a normal life during this time. He worked, dated women, and hung out with friends. He maintained contact with his dad, Mose, until his death. He even attended his funeral. Why did Eubanks go to prison, and how did he elude authorities for so long?

The Murder of Cynthia Carver
Cynthia Carver’s mother, Ann, knew immediately something was wrong when her daughter failed to show for her new job on February 22, 2019. She spoke to Cynthia the night before; she was excited. Around 1 p.m., she drove past Cynthia’s house in Newsoms, Virginia, and saw the front door open. She stopped to investigate, as any mother would. Already frightened, her fears were exasperated when she saw blood at the front door. More blood spatter in the living room. A knife is sitting in front of the sofa. The 35-year-old mother of two is nowhere to be found. Ann called the police.

Rich People's Palates: Burgers That Cost More Than Rent
Who doesn’t love a good hamburger? It’s one of my favorite foods, whether I prepare one at home or hit up the nearest drive-thru. Now and again, I splurge and treat myself to one of the fancy $20 burgers from Five Guys, like I have Lil’ Wayne money and am not checking my balance before merging into the line.

The 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing. Content Warning.
Terrorism and mass shootings no longer shock most Americans. We've heard and seen it all before, more than a few times. Nowadays, we scroll past the post or flip the TV channel without much thought. Perhaps terror attacks are so common that we expect them. We aren't surprised. It hasn't always been this way. There was a time when terror attacks and mass shootings rarely happened. Those rare events shocked people to their core. It left them fearful, yet communal, ready to come together for the betterment of our country.

Serial Killers' Favorite Bar Hangouts
Serial killers share many common characteristics. For example, many live with ASPD and have had difficult childhoods. One of the most unexpected and interesting traits is their fondness for local bars. Before, during, and after their crimes, many notorious serial killers frequented local bars. Some even discussed their crimes with police officers! Perhaps alcohol allowed these killers to relax after such monstrous crimes. Maybe it was their way of blending in with regular society or people-watching. Whatever the case, here’s a look at bars frequented by serial killers.

Man Who Said Wife Fell on Corn Rake Convicted of Her Murder
He claimed his wife died after she fell backward on a corn rake while working on the family’s farm. Prosecutors said inconsistencies in the pattern proved the injury wasn’t an accident. He’s now serving life without parole in an Iowa prison. As is the case with most crimes, a few supporters contend that Todd Mullis, 43, did not kill Amy, 39.

Valentine's Day Murder in Ft. Myers
Valentine’s Day has long been observed as the day of love. Couples around the country go the extra mile to show their significant other how much they mean. It’s also a day when countless murders have occurred. In my opinion, murder on Valentine’s Day is more personal and sends a deeper message than murders committed on other days of the year.
