Sniper's apology brings closure, no justice
Eliott C. McLaughlin,
http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/03/04/malvo.sniper.confession/index.html?hpt=T2
This article is about a sniper who wrote an apology letter to the guy he almost killed. And the guy accepted the apology and tried to get him out of jail. But him and his partner have sniped other people before that incident. So the sniper (Lee Boyd Malvo) was sentenced life in prison. For his partner he ended getting executed last year.
They selected the location Washington DC so they can get known. And then they decided to go to the mall and kill a 54 year old man. They waited til it was getting close to closing time and then they slit the guys tire. The victim (John Gaeta) came out and he tried to pull off and he notcied that he had a flat so he pulled under a light. And then the two gentlemen went to him and asked if there was any more stores open in the mall and he responded” yes “. Then they waited and he saw a shadow in front of his car and he thought it was a prank and he went to the front and he shot him in the neck. Then he fell to the floor to act as if he was dead and then they took his wallet. After they left he went to the service station, and said to them he thinks he got shot with a paint gun and that it was a prank and they said to him your bleeding. So he went to the hospital and he ended up living.

CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/03/25/uk.terror.laws/index.html
This article is about Joint Commite on Human Rights called for a thorough review of the need for and proportionality of all counter-terrorism legislation passed since the 2001 attacks on the United States.
This article gotta do with geography because London is a place. Also because you could consider London as a location. Also because London England, is a British parliamentary commite questioned wheter current-terrorism measures are still justified almost nine years after the Sep. 11 attacks.
