Man was arrested after being caught in the bushes peeping on near by passing people. He was located outside the mall behind bushes watching many people as they passed by. Though, the reason is unknown why he was preforming such strange behavior. When the officers saw what he was suspected of doing, they summoned the mall cops, to watch him and make sure he didnt do anything to hurt anyone. They then arrested him, knowing he was peeping behind with such a long pursuit.

Honestly I would never want to be at a mall where someone was following me around, also known as stalking. 

The man was later charged with Peeping tom and obstruction of the officers. However, in my opinion there should be a heavier charge, such as perhaps solicitation.

What if he were to follow these innocent by standers home? What do you believe this man should be charged with? Would you call the police if you saw him peeping at you from afar?

Gay Marriage Arrests

In Egypt eight men were arrested, do to them sharing a video of a suspected wedding. In this video two unknown men were kissing and exchanging rings, which looked as if it was a gay wedding ceremony. Because of the sharing of this video, all eight of them, were sentenced to three years in prison.

In Egypt, gay marriages are known as a huge taboo, meaning that is not accepted by their culture. However, now there are organizations forming in order to get the rights that gay citizens need in Egypt. The users of the website have estimated that about 85 people are arrested in one month from being suspected of gay material or usage.

In my opinion, if you are happy the way you are, then the government should have no say in when or who you get married to, even if that person is of the same sex. Everyone should have the freedom to be accepted and act on the way they feel, as long as it does not put anyone else at risk.

However, should these men really be punished, or should they be let go? Also, how do you feel about gay marriages? Should they have the freedom to do what they want, or should it be illegal?
