Flush of a different kind lands poker player in jail

42 year old Christian Lusardi was arrested for flushing $2.7 million dollars down the toilet. He made 2.7 million dollars worth of fake poker chips for the Winter Poker Opens "Big Stack, No Limit Hold 'Em." He then goes to his hotel, and tries to flush them, clogging the drains. 

         This reminds me of the talks we have with Ms. Walker about trying to budge your money. But you should not go try to make fake money. It will only put you in jail. Plus, if you just flush it, it would not get rid of the fake money for good, someone else will just find it one day.

This guy is stupid. First off, why would you make fake poker chips? They will be able to tell if they are real or not. Also, why try flushing 2.7 million dollars worth of them down the toilet, cause the drains of the hotel to back fire. Some people in this world needs more common senses.

What is the impact of using quotes?
 The impact of using quotes help show what happened during the arrest of Mr. Lusardi. ""This was a very unusual occurrence. It's the first time in Borgata's 10 years that anything like this has happened," Joe Lupo, senior vice president of operations at Borgata, told CNN" It shows how CNN news went out to talk to people about what happened to get the inside story about this event.

"Police group: Detective who fatally shot mentally ill teen acted justly"

A 18 year old schizophrenic boy, Keith, was shot and killed in his home today. He has a mental illness and police came to help get him to treatment. Once another police came, order the other two to tase him and he then shoots him once in the heart, killing him in his own home.

This reminds me of the book To kill a Mockingbird because Tom was killed when he was innocent and he did nothing wrong to be killed. The Mockingbird represented someone who is weaker than you, and this reminded me of Kieth. You shouldn't kill someone who is schizophrenic and couldn't help he freaked out.


This is not right! Kieth should not have been killed in his own home because he had schizophrenia and started to freak out. His step father called for just one police officer to come out and help calm him down. Then another one can and order two police to tase him and then he shot him once in the chest at his house.

The central idea of the passage is Kieth's death. He was a 18 year old schizophrenic boy who was killed in his house by a police officer. "They had the situation under control" stated Mark Ryan Wilsey. But yet, he was still shot and killed on that dreadful day.
