Blake's 8-14 Scribe notes

We arrive to class
As we walk in some of us notice that we are missing Kelly, Joseph, and Michelle
Now we got started with a prayer
After prayer Kohlberg says he forgot his journal and had to go visit his locker real quick
The journal assignment is to write about the justice cases of Anwar Al-Awlaki, Megan Meier, The Branch Davidians of Waco, Westboro Baptist Church
Good thing some of us--well, at least me--have never heard anything of these
The music was some country song with a little Mexican beat to it
We go into details about each of these people and cases
Nick gets the good point trophy for his crazy journal
Mrs. Gill announces we are going to write a paper next week on when the law is helpless
She gives us a slide show and says to not be concerned with slide 18 – 27

o   The actions of a rogue individual can wreak havoc on peaceful societies. From the schoolyard bully to the terrorist ideologue, people who don’t play by the rules are very seldom constrained by them. For this reason, some have argued that important legal principles can be suspended when it comes to the dangers posed by certain lawless individuals.

After reading the following sources carefully, write an essay in which you defend, refute or qualify that position. You are required to use at least three of the sources in support of your argument, and you should in some way use or reference or quote Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. You may paraphrase or directly quote your sources.
