Comment on "keeping a closer eye on crime in downtown Austin"

Among my colleague’s blogs, lonestar Govt. views on “keeping a closer eye on crime in downtown Austin” is interesting and genuine topic. Her opinion about installing the security cameras in highly crime area in downtown Austin provides facts, information and proof. It’s true that security cameras will be more helpful for Austin police department to take action against criminals. Her ideas shows that Security comes before privacy so, it does not matter how often people gone a loose their privacy. Example she gave about private owners who installs security camera for their safety and own civil law suits makes clearer about an issue. She conclude her ideas giving an information about the debates that is going on in Austin police department about...whether to install a security camera in highly crime area around Austin downtown.
Providing public safety and security is the main job of police department so I think its good idea to install security cameras in highly crime area. We can see most of the private owner install security cameras for their safety and security. People get scare to create crime in that area where there are security cameras. That’s why ‘safety’ is more important than ‘privacy’.
I have the same opinion as she got about installing security cameras in highly crime area around Austin downtown. She says “public safety should be their (police department) number one concern, that’s the entire reason they was founded was to protect and serve” so, police department have full right to take any action for public security. I think my colleague did an excellent job with this article post. She got all the precise and appealing across and I agree all the way with my colleague.

Real danger on southern border

Borders problem is not a simple issue unless there is strict border security. This article “real danger in southern border” tries to show the problems that are seen in the border of US and Mexico. Every year lots of American students go Mexico on the vacation willing to have fun but, they are treated badly over there. As Mexico increasingly becoming violence- ravaged nation, US government is urging public not to go Mexico for their vacation. The editor says that there are 30 nations in the world which are regarded as travel warning nation; sadly Mexico is counted among them.
When three people associated with US consulate in Juarez were killed, US government was very upset with Mexico. These kinds of violence against US interest are regarded as an act of war. Besides that, every day lots of illegal Mexican who enters US, supplies drugs, cocoon and other illegal drugs. Mexican government is not showing interest to stop these kinds of illegal activities, instead they encourage them because them good money from these kinds of activities. Attract have become common place at Mexico because more than 2600 people slaying in Juarez in 2009, 16000 car theft, and 19000 carjacking. Criminals have given hard time to all the US citizens travelling in their vehicles in border areas. I think it will be the good idea if US government apply strong border patriots in the border area and urge student to void the spring break trip to the Mexico border cities until Mexican government provide peace and security to travelers.

Austin running full speed ahead to embrace Texas relays”

This article“Austin running full speed ahead to embrace Texas relays” published in Austin American statesman tries to show the economic, social and cultural impact that can be seen in Austin after Texas Relays. I like this article because editor of this article is trying to make public clear about greater economic benefits from the Texas Relays while removing a racial taint from its reputation. Editor notifies that public wants their city to have a positive welcoming image and constructive activities for young. Editor view about Texas Relays is affirmative but he shows some warn to the business. He says, a business point of view, will be losing money than they make because they need to hire all kinds of extra security and stores are not benefiting from increased revenues. Editor is trying to shows the racism that Texans used to show in past two years to African American. All the business used to get close in this day because of racism. Editor say there is no more racism in recent year because people took out all of their conservative and superstitious thinking on black tourist. This article is trying to teach public about the cultural activities that goes on Texas Relay.
