Colton Harris Moore


Colton only did the acts, it was the media that gave him all the fame and turned him into a legend.  They could say whatever they wanted about him because no one had ever heard from him so there's no way of fact checking. I like Colton not because of his defiance, but because of the actions he committed, when you do almost the impossible multiple times and still are able to avoid arrest, and without physically harming anyone, its hard not to like the guy. The media focused less on the little thefts and focused more on the outrageous stuff like the, stealing, flying, and crashing of airplanes, avoiding the police and stealing boats. It would suck to be a victim though, getting all your savings stolen would be awful, they made him seem like such a cool guy because they didn't focus on those actions, particularly the fact that he stole money from average people. He would not have been the barefoot bandit, most people wouldn't know who he is, because there was so many thefts that may not have even been committed by him but sense there was so much attention on him and blame on him, its easier to put the blame on him then to find new suspects. He also would have never been able to post his pictures to the internet, he may have never even been caught if there was no internet. And he wouldn't be the barefoot bandit he would just be "there's been a series of thefts on camino island."

He was a cute kid, but as he got older he began to have very dark sexual fantasy's, he enjoyed humiliating women in public and beating the girls he dated. He then when on to commit many rapes, tortures and murders with his then wife Karla Homolka. Its hard to imagine why someone would commit these crimes, but it all comes back to his up bringing, he was raised by a man who treated women like dirt and also had sadistic sexual fantasies, that alone made his chances of committing sexual assault much greater. To stop these things we need to cut off the influence of ones parents, sense most sexual assaulters experienced some sort of assault in there childh...

Does Social Media Effect Trial Social media can drastically effect trials, it generally makes the person seem extremely guilty before being proven guilty, like in Cassie Anthonys trial. Myself among many other people believe her to still be guilty, but we saw no unbiased reports. Media is to paint a picture, and is seen through a frame, so if your just fed bias information, you can easily be lead to believe what there trying to sell u on. Another bad effect, is that it can be nearly impossible to find an unbiast jurry, just like in Cassie Anthonys case. It can also indanger the accused, having your trial online and being portraid in a certain light, can make alot of people hate you. With them already seeing you as a monster, it can make reintegrating into society dangerous, and nearly impossible, expetially if your story gets alot attention. Trials simply shouldnt be broadcasted, you can't just give all this information, painting the accused a certain way, when it could be comple...

          Short Term and Long Term Effects of Being a Victim                    There are many short and long term effects of being a victim, depends especially on what you were a victim of. If you get robbed , you will have anxiety, be scared to go outside, obsessively think about the event leading to more anxiety and fear. The majority of victims don't even have any physical effects oly mental, if you get robbed once and didn't get any injuries and its happend once in your whole life, the odds of it happening again are pretty slim, but your mind will still e rationally, and obsessively think about it and oftentimes you'll have an eerie feeling that its going to happen again. This anxiety can persist and will often worsen or even "mutate" into other mental issues. For more extreme events such as witnessing, or being the victim of a violent crime such as asault or sexual asault, it can be tough to cope with,...
