Sins in the real world

Mindy, her life and story of painfulness everyday all began with one party. Her parents were always out of town and Mindy always had the house to herself, she could do whatever she wanted and her parents wouldn't have been there to stop her. One day when she was 15, she went to a party and some people offered her some meth, she started to take it and get high at school but soon, she got kicked out because she was cutting class. She felt that school interfered with her drug life and she also became pregnant with her son, Isaiah. She lived with her boyfriend who was a meth cook so she could easily abuse the drug.

To find out what happened to Mindy, we need to look at what meth is and what meth does to you. Meth is a synthetic chemical that acts like a stimulant. Meth can be snorted, injected, smoked or swallowed. It increases your energy and gives you a feeling sort of like being the happiest person on earth (referred to as “high”). Other effects of meth can be: Euphoria (happy feeling, confident), increase in energy and attentiveness, insomnia (inability to get enough sleep), fidgeting, and anxiety or panic attacks. Long term effects are addiction, weight loss and damage to the brain due to lack of sleep and chemicals from the drug itself. However, Mindy made a miraculous recovery when she checked herself into a rehab center. It was hard for her but in the end, she did it.

Jessi was a girl that lives in the streets of Reno, Nevada. Her home life in California was unstable so she ran away joining the Navy. For a few years, she felt happy but soon she was discharged and she became homeless and started to take drugs. She started to sell herself after her drug dealer suggested her to do it since she needed the money. When she got tired of working on the street, she advertised herself on the internet. She used many aliases to do business and most of the time, they would be in plain sight but only the ones that looked for it found them.

Most of the time, the women involved in street prostitution have a man behind it, one that's controlling her, and he is the pimp. The pimp is the man that makes the girls think they wont ever need to work again, they'll always have enough money, if they work for him, in prostitution and dealing drugs. In most cases, this would sound very appealing to women that just got bankrupted or is on the verge of bankruptcy and is homeless. The police are trying to arrest the pimps behind all of it but they would always need a witness to arrest them since there are no other evidence that can prove pimps force the women to do it but usually the abused women would be afraid to testify fearing their family and themselves would be in danger. Outside street prostitution, there are places where selling your body is legal. One such place is Moonlight Bunny Ranch in Carson City. When investigated, the women there are quite happy with their work, they make more in a day then most people do in a week.

John Soares was your average everyday working man. After getting married, he opened a shop selling donuts, however it ended up in failure and his wife left him due to debt and finance issues. John first started cheating in casinos when a friend of him asked him to help with a job, which he did not add, was illegal. John made an additional $100 every week which was quite a lot in the 1960’s. He got busted a few months later and was sentenced to five years in prison. In prison he met a man that would change his life forever, Ned Coleman. Ned was in prison for the murder of a gaming official and he taught John everything there was to cheating. John would practice everyday, two hours in the morning and two in the night. After being released, John traveled to Las Vegas to test his skills and that's when he was recruited by Glen Grayson, to a team that cheated casinos. Everything from 21 black jack, to slots, to craps they would cheat.
Over the years, they made millions and none of them were ever arrested. All of this ended when Grayson was on his way to meet John to talk but his plane crashed and he was killed. The team dissembled and never got together again. How did they do it? For craps, they took a picture of the die, and they would make rigged dices and switch them. In black jack, they would learn tricks with their hands to hide cards and to distinguish them. For slots, they would rig the machine with small unnoticeable tools.

In this world, there are all sorts of sins people do, most of the time they cant help it since they need the money, or they become addicted and can’t stop. There will continue to be sins in this world since their will always be the richest and the selfish ones that wouldn't help with homeless forcing them to do illegal things to survive. Until the day where everyone becomes equal, the rich and the poor, there will continually be sins in this world.
