The Last One

   Although I completely agree with Siavash, statement in his blog Austin should extend the metro system, I must add to it. Yes, Austin should expand public transit but what’s the point if people are not really using it. From what I saw in Dec 2015 Ridership Report, a report from metro the number of passengers have been declining.
   What I believe Austin should do is collaborate with the cities around it to create a major train transit that is fast, really fast, connecting all of them. Why? Because that’s the exact reason people are not using public transportation now in days. It takes too long. Also, it would be a nice way to add tourism in a way. Because I know people would prefer to ride a fast train to Houston for example and get there in an hour instead of driving there.
   Another thing I must disagree with is that young drivers are not always at fault. I’ve had plenty of older people cut me off from the side road because they want to skip the line. Yet if you hit them it’s always going to be the young driver faults, because of “experience”.
   Overall it was a good blog but your argument lacked I didn’t feel a connection to it. In a way, you should have added, “Have you been stuck in traffic, frustrated and willing to change that? “something along those lines. Also, you didn’t mention a solution for traffic other than expanding the public transit. Shouldn’t we expand roads too? Maybe a lane for one public transit so the passengers would actually feel the benefits and actually use it?

What's going on?

     Shockingly another inmate in a Texas jail cell is found dead. According to Michaels Barajas article “Inmate Found Dead In Bexar County Jail”, a 50-year-old inmate was found dead in his cell. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office statement indicated that the inmate may have committed suicide. Seems like suicide is the answer to everything. That’s what they said about Sandra Bland, but later they granted her family a million dollars, because of wrongful death.
    This article is interesting because towards the end the author states, “If Sunday's death at the jail is ultimately ruled a suicide, the man would be at least the fifth person to take his own life inside the Bexar County lockup this year.” In another article by Michael Barajas, he states that there have been four suicides in just four weeks. I’m no detective but something is going on in Bexar County. But, according to the Texas Commission on Jail standards, there were no issues. As they conducted a surprise inspection on the jail.
     So, the question is, what is causing so many suicidal cases in that specific jail? I don’t think there’s a coincidence of four “suicides” in under a month. Something is going on in that jail, that needs to be investigated.
