Top 10 List | Top Ten Lists

How many of us have been angry at our bosses? How many of us wanted to choke our bosses when they did something we hated? Murder is not the key and here are the reasons why.

1.

The boss pays for your salary. The salary is what puts food on your table and a roof over your head. Even if it is a little, it is better than nothing. It is similar to the saying: do not bite the hand that feeds.

2.

Repercussions: Do you really want to spend the rest of your life in jail? Premeditated murder is one crime that is scorned upon in Western cultures.

Penalties:

First Degree Murder carries up to 25 years jail

Second Degree Murder carries a sentence of life imprisonment. It carries a sentence between 10 to 25 years, based on the discretion of the judge.

Manslaughter: This does not carry an automatic sentence of life imprisonment. It carries usually up to 10 years.

3.

I believe that there is always a reason for everything in life. If the two of you were put on earth to work together, it was meant to be. If you kill the boss, you will never understand what that meaning was in the first place.

4.

Everyone is different; everyone has also a different character. You may not always agree on things, but that does not give you the right to kill your boss.

5.

You are not the judge, jury and the executioner. You can never take law into your own hands, unless you are given that authority by someone with the authority. The choice of life and death remains in the hands of the supreme power.

Nothing is more shocking than a child killing a parent or even a step parent. There are no stereotypes to fit a teenage murderer. Many of the teenagers look innocent and you would never think they were responsible for the most horrid events.

1. Tyler Hadley:

Hadley, 17, used a framing hammer to kill his parents in July of 2011. He covered both the bodies with clothes and continued to invite his friends on Facebook over for a party. No motive has been established yet. No one even knows if Tyler killed his parents before or after the party began. Police were going on an anonymous tip about the murder.

2. Joseph Lyle Menendez & Eric Galen Menendez:

These two brothers were convicted for killing their wealthy and affluent parents in 1989 with a shotgun. The murder occurred in the den of the family’s Beverly Hills home. The father, a wealthy entertainment executive, was shot point blank in the back of the head. The mother, Kitty Menendez was shot in the leg, arms, chest and face several times. Following the deaths of the parents, the brothers lived a lavish life, spending money on a Mercedes-Benz and a Rolex watch.

5. Adam Sapikowski:

In 2006, Sapikowski murdered both his parents and left their bodies inside the home for two weeks. Adam was 17 at the time and planned to go camping after the murder.

Many parents increasingly wonder if they are raising future serial killer with growing gun incidents in schools and mounting murder cases committed by teenagers and preteens. They try to assess their own parenting skills to get to the crux of their children’s problems and anger. The mother of Dylan Klebold (Columbine Shooter) wrote an essay in O Magazine where she described her shock and horror over her son’s actions. She never believed her son would be capable of hurting more or less kill innocent bystanders.

The truth of the matter is that many children, especially teenagers, are getting a hold of illegal firearms and other weapons. Many city streets and schools are becoming increasingly unsafe as gun and weaponry laws are becoming too lenient. Furthermore, many parents are overlooking signs of depression, rage, harassment and abuse in their own children. Here are 10 cases where teenagers and preteens became premeditated murderers.

1. Tim Kretschmer:

A 17 year old teenager went into his former high school in Winnenden, Germany on March 11, 2009 and fatally shot and killed 9 students, 3 teachers and 3 bystanders before pulling the gun on himself. He was recovering from psychiatric treatment for depression when the shooting took place. The day before the shooting occurred, Kretschmer announced his plans on an internet chatroom. His failing grades which prevented him from pursuing an apprenticeship was the probable trigger of the horror.

2. Jeffrey Weise:

On March 21, 2005, Jeffrey Weise (16) killed his grandfather and his grandfather’s girlfriend. He proceeded to enter his school in his grandfather’s police car where he fatally shot and killed 5 students, 1 teacher and 1 security guard before turning the gun on himself. The cause of his actions was mainly bullying and taunting.

3. Dylan Klebold & Eric Harris:

Dylan Klebold along with Eric Harris went into Columbine High School on April 20, 1999 and fatally injures 12 classmates and 1teacher/coache. 21 others were injured in the shooting; many of whom are scarred and damaged by the events to this day. Both Harris and Klebold were clearly disturbed and depressed individuals. They were bullied throughout his high school. Videos of both students illustrate that the event that transpired at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999 were deliberately planned for months. Diaries and belongings recovered from their rooms also illustrate dissatisfaction with life and school.

4. Kelly Ellard:

14 year old Reena Virk was often ostracized and bullied by others in her school. She often desperately sought to be accepted by others. She smoked marijuana, drank alcohol and disobeyed her family to look cool. On November 14, 1997, Virk was invited to a party near the Craigflower Bridge where she consumed too much alcohol. While there, she was swarmed by a group of 8 teenagers who resorted to bullying and to taunting her. Kelly Ellard and Warren Glowatski, two members of the group of teenagers, proceeded to follow Virk as she walked away. Both Ellard and Glowatski beat Virk and forced her to take off her shoes. Ellard, who was 15 years old at the time, forced Virk under water and subdued her until she was dead. During trial, Ellard was noted for her sarcasm and tantrums. She failed to realize the brunt of her actions. After 3 trials, Ellard was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2005 with chances of parole in 7 years.

5. Joshua Phillips:

Joshua Phillips was convicted for murdering his missing 8 year old neighbour, Maddie Clifton in 1998. His mother found the body taped to Phillips’ bed seven days after the Clifton went missing. Phillips was sentenced to life imprisonment without chances of parole. He never stated why he committed the murder.

Sports like football and basketball are fun- all you have to do is chase a ball and run about a lot. However, the following could kill you but not in a good way.

1. Street Luging
If you play this sport, you will have to climb a huge hill, lie face up on a skateboard and that’s right- roll your way down. Your main aim is to do it fast and make sure that you don’t die. There are no brakes and you will literally be rolling down towards a busy road on a highway. If you don’t have cat-like reflexes, you will be transformed into an attractive pulp in no time.

2. Heli-Skiing

This sport involves hiring a helicopter and traveling to such snowcaps that are either undiscovered or untouched by civilization. The daredevils then jump onto the slopes with their skis and move towards massive avalanches quite excitedly.

3. Big-Wave Surfing

This may sound fun and look thrilling in movies but if you take part in this sport, you will have to balance yourself on a great wave whose force will be large enough to kill you. If that doesn’t happen, you will be thrown into the water so violently, that you will drown. Now if you are lucky enough to escape that too, you can always come in contact with a submerged rock and crack your head open.

4. Bull Riding

Bull riding involves straddling a bull that will weigh nothing less than 1800 pounds. These bulls are usually extremely ill-tempered because the organizers of the sport are supposed to constrict the animal’s genitals before the game begins. You will be thrown up into the air and if you don’t die on impact, the bull will definitely jump over you.

5. Bull Running

The organizers of this sport let a number of bulls loose on the streets and the participants are meant to run for their lives. Any ‘adult’ who lacks common sense or any sense for that matter can participate. Over 300 people die every year because of bull running.

America is going through an economic meltdown but no matter how desperate you are, you should not apply for any of the following.

1. Cell Phone Tower Workers

A cell phone tower worker undoubtedly has the most dangerous job in the world. Because cell phone companies try their best to build higher towers, these workers are not considered to be all that lucky as far as jobs are concerned. The worker can lose his balance or get electrocuted.

2. Commercial Fisherman
Fishermen spend a lot of time out on sea where the weather can get extremely rough and the waves, quite violent. It’s not like they work with lifejackets so if they fall into the water, they will definitely not survive.

3. Pilots and Flight Engineers

Flight engineers have long working hours and are exposed to harmful chemicals. Not only that, but the pilots also have to fly low around power lines that are virtually invisible to the naked eye.

4. Lumberjacks

These workers use extremely bulky spinning saws and because people think that there is nothing to it, they are expected to finish their work within a few minutes. The pressure can prove to be too much for the poor guy and he can meet with an awful accident.

5. Steel and Iron Construction Workers

You didn’t think that the metal frames around buildings and bridges built themselves did you? These works have to be extremely careful when they are doing their job and not move around too much because if they do, they will fall and break open their skulls.
