Greetings and Salutations everyone!
Well, this is my first blog for this class and, quite frankly, I am not sure what to write about. So, I think I am going to start this whole shebang off with something from the media that has been upsetting me lately.
Ken Kratz, the District Attourney for Calumet County, is a slimy pig. He has been found to have been sending inappropriate text messages to a girl he was supposed to be defending in court. The woman was in court trusting Ken Kratz to get her abusive boyfriend put in prison. While this was going on, Mr. Kratz was sending her inappropriate text messages, 30+ over the course of three days.
As a female with a feminist perspective, this is outrageous. Especially considering that origionally nothing was going to happen. He was going to be able to continue prosecuting and possibly doing this to more helpless victims. Now, many organizations, including; Harbor House, the state DA's, and even Govenor Doyle are getting involved to possibly and hopefully, get this slimy greasy man out of office, remove his pension, and give him the punishment he deserves.
Here are a few links to follow.
