One of our favorite holidays is coming up. Halloween. The time to dress your kiddies up and take them around for candy. A time for horror movies and a time to reacquaint our selves with creatures and all that. One of those things is witches but this post isn't about Halloween. This post is about a video that went viral. 4 women were accused of being witches in Papua New Guinea. These women were stripped naked, tied up, burned, and beaten because one boy fell ill.
The accusation said that these four women 'invisibly' took out the man's heart and later put it back in his body after they were tortured. In the mob's eyes this made them guilty. A PNG Source, involved in rescues of victims of sorcery-related violence, claimed that there was no way for these women to prove there innocence. Once a person is suspected the person is done for, either claim they have there just going to be tortured and possibly killed.
One of the women begged, pleaded for her innocence stating "I am a mother of 5 children" The woman of ill boy just yelled burn her. It hasn't been confirmed but reported that one of the women died after the ordeal. This isn't the first instance that these people have done this it's numerous.
The PNG Government in response to the violence acts has created a National Action Plan against Sorcery Accusation Violence. The only thing left to do is to implement it effectively and as soon as possible by everybody that is concerned. Due to this Action Plan however it has cause an increase in anger among the Papua New Guineans because the attackers are going unpunished.
The PNG claims, “There’s no logic going on in the matter … To try to talk logically, even to students, doesn’t really get you very far. They say, we have evidence and you ask what kind of evidence and they say it’s invisible evidence you can’t see it"
Take in remembrance that this video was taken by a smartphone because they were participants in this violent act. This video was made to brag about the beatings and burning. This video was to have proof of the actions that are being taken against these women.
Now I don't plan to show you guys the images or the video on this blog but you can check it out on the Daily News website. Here's the link.

My question to ponder on this matter:
Do you think they did this to protect their loved ones because there scared?
Do you feel this is the right thing for these people to do?
Do you think it's right that people like high school students should be supporting this?

Life and Personal Bubbles
All most all of us do this and that's take advantage of life. Yesterday 10 lives were taken and this morning on the View Candace Cameron hit it directly on the nail. She said, "Life is like a vapor. It’s so fast. We don’t know if we have tomorrow. We’re thankful if we’re breathing today." We all should be thankful. We should be thankful the minute we open our eyes because were able to breathe able to live one more day.
You just had a bad break-up. While you sit there and think how much you want to die or crawl under that rock to never live life you should feel blessed that your here standing, breathing. You were just in a serious car wreck and you totaled your brand new car your parents gave you. Your sitting there in a hospital bed worried about the totaled car when you should be happy your alive and ok. For every bad moment that happens you should at least be thankful your still here.
Candace mentioned that her daughter asked "what if I'm afraid to go to school". Candace said that she had to turn to her faith that Jesus will protect her. Now we all have our faith, our beliefs but the point of it was that were not stopping to think how lucky we are.
If you don't believe me just look in your local news. Everyday you see murder, robbing, sexual assault.
In this same segment they talked about Raven Symone mentioned we all have this pattern life. Have you noticed that most of the time mass shootings are because the person had a kind of problem with them? The theater shooting a few months ago here in Tennessee that man had a few issues and had been off his meds for a bit.
This man was no different then that man he was sick and needed help and people noticed it but they said nothing or did nothing. Most of us do this even kids in school do this and that's stay in there personal bubbles. No one takes the time to stop and do something. Like a kid being bullied at school. Your going to see one person holding a camera and watching, one kid laughing, people walking by, and one person stopping to stare because they feel sorry for that kid. That same one person is going to sit there and is going to wish to say something but is going to be too scared to.
This has me thinking maybe it's ok every now and then to step out of the comfort zone and try something new. Which once again is referenced to the taking life for granite. Most people are going to sit and waste there time doing nothing all day or playing video games all day when they can turn off the computer and go outside. Do something to make you say that you have joyous memories in your life and you didn't let it pass you by.

That's My Barbecue Rib
61 year old Ethel Jane Banks has been charged with aggravated assault for beating up her brother over some barbecue ribs.
As what started out as sibling arguments to Ms. Banks taking the argument to a new level by charging at her brother with a butcher knife. If this isn't the first time the police haven't been called to the residence back in June they had to call the authorities for another argument between Ms. Banks and another family member.
Now we see them all the time or we hear about them and that's sibling squabbles or sibling rivalries but this takes it to a new level and it's not over a toy nor is it over hammy downs or something that happened when they were little. It's over food.
Now, I can't make full judgment because I don't know there past history nor do I know if there was more or if it was just one. Maybe it's one of those love hate relationships? Maybe it's a there forced to live with each other ordeal? Who knows on the full story.
What I do know is that wouldn't it have been better to just go get another rack of ribs or maybe the brother should have gotten his own. The bad thing I see on this is that there grown adults. This woman is 60 and trying to kill her brother over food. Don't you normally see that in squabbling younger siblings? Like in the 3-10 year old range?
