The boondocks
I got into the then comic strip, “the boondocks” created by Aaron McGruder in my sophomore year of high school. I had all of the comic strip collections treasury. My grandmother would even cut out the strip for me that she saw in the newspaper and put it in an album every time she saw it. Thank you, grandma, Irene! The boondocks centers around three black kids – Huey, Riley, and friend Cesar and what it means to be black in America as seen through their eyes. Huey, is the main character, named after civil rights activist Huey P Newton.

Love can change everything for better or for worse. In Australia in 2006 two young women shocked the country. They said that they felt like that brewing a movie, a surreal fantasy that became horrifying. In fact, a lot of us can understand murder under certain circumstances but murder for foreplay. A fatal attraction that would end in unspeakable brutality. It's the kind of thing that scares society. The city of Perth Western Australia it's a relaxed town, in a relaxed country. In December 2006, this quiet suburbia became a killing ground. Young Stacey Mitchell had been arguing with her parents and decided to leave home.

Diane Downs May 19 1983, the night Springfield Oregon was turned upside down. It's 10:48 p.m. at Mackenzie William Hospital. A family car has become an ambulance. Children have been shot. It is every mother's nightmare. Three children gunned down by a complete stranger. Single mother Diane Downs is also shot in the arm. There were three children, Cheryl, Christie and Danny. Cheryl had already expired. Dr. Stephen and his medical team tried to save the two surviving children. Christie had a couple of bullet holes and she had no blood pressure, no pulse, she was pasty white and appeared to be dead. These children would gradually lose consciousness, they would be experiencing pain and their blood pressure would gradually drop. Doctors and nurses work frantically in a race against the clock. Medical attention would have to be received before critical levels of oxygen had stopped reaching the brain, at which point they would become brain-dead.

Tracey Wiggington Between excitement and murder, the idea of a thrill kill shocks every society, wherever it happens. One morning the Australian city of Brisbane awoke to news of a most horrific murder. He was covered in blood, absolutely coding blood.

That first day no one could have guessed, I'd think we even considered the idea of it being a female.
