Police arrest suspected Philadelphia strangler

Summary: This article is about the cops arrestinq a man named Antonio Rodriguez. He was accused of strangling three women. This happened last weeks Monday in Central Philadelphia. The reason they are so sure he was guilty of this murder was because his DNA matched all three of the women. Rodriguez is a homeless man and very dangerous at only 21 years old. The 3 women were Casey Mahoney, 27 years old, Elaine Goldberg 21 years old and Nicole Piancentini 35 years old! Yet again there was another case last year that a 33 year old woman was pulled into an alley and attacked.. and Rodriguez may havee been the attacker.
Reaction: So I guess this man shuld either go to jail for life or serve other serious consequences for all hes done.. I wont ssay he needs the death penaltybecause he does live alone , homeless , and hes still a young man who can change in many ways if he receives help and can someday succed but his problem is that he doesnt really socialize with people enough as to know all the things that are happening now in days and be aware. If i was a Detective or Cop or any one of those federals, I would definitely help him because i think he deserves a little more :\

Authorities neither cops wanted to give his name. The man jumped from the ninth floor of a building in Midtown Manhattan. This happened on last weeks huge snowstorm. Leaving so much garbage outside on the curbside was actually a big critism within the people but when this incident happened, it was kind of like a miracle. :) Although the man is somewhat injured, atleast he's not dead.
Reaction: I think this garbage leaving in the streets is most of the time nasty lookinq , dirty , but if it can actually save people from doing big mistakes, well then its really like a great thing. But either way, i still go against the garbage on the curbside because the same way it saved that man , the same way it can be dangerous too. Also things like this dont happen so often and in these kind of places with garbage either. :\http://http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/01/03/new.york.trash.suicide/index.html
