Executions in Alaska

The first recorded execution in Alaska was a Native American man named Scutdor. On December 29,1869 he was hanged and his crime was murder and his age is unknown. The last recorded execution in Alaska was on April 14, 1950. It was a black man named Eugene Lamoore. His crime and age are both unknown and the method was hanging as well. They were both part of minority groups. They were both executed by hanging so the method didn't change over time. They were both men. The only differences were that the black man's crime isn't recorded and of coarse both of these executions happened in different years. (LW)

Assignment #3 Illegal Issues --> Legalized

In the state of Alaska it is illegal to live in a trailor while it is being hauled across the city !

How is this so if that is all one has to live in.
Is it expected for them to not drive the trailor?
This is a law that would be considered selfish seeing how if that is all one has to live in, it is expected that they live elsewhere. Such as homeless. A trailor might be all they have, seeing how they live in it. This law should definitely be legalized.
