An American Tragedy
Weekly Blog Post
Breaking News:
Last Friday December 14, an American tragedy broke out in
Newtown Connecticut. A 24 year old gunman broke into Sandy Hook elementary school
and held the school hostage for a number of hours. By the end he had killed 28
people mostly kids and women. Adam Lanza the alleged gunman eventually took his
own life. This story has been trending worldwide; this was a good school in a
wealthy area with a recently purchased “lock in” security system. Lanza’s
mother also worked at the school and the guns that Lanza used were registered
to the woman. This shooting has taken more casualty’s then shootings in
previous years. A large benefactor that is angering the nation is the fact that
these children, mostly 8 years of age, were shot multiple times. Along with the
children Adam also killed the school principal and psychologist. What did these kids do to Mr. Lanza? Why was
he prompted to do this? With such a school massacre like the one in front of
us, in the future we can look for some new gun control laws and better security
for schools nationwide. When these events occur I become sickened with the idea,
not the facts. The idea of little children getting killed outweighs the fact
that the man in no longer alive. An aspect like this also makes me think…. What
if this man was still alive? Does the death penalty exist in Connecticut? What if
it didn’t? Lastly I would like to take this time to offer my heart and sympathy
for those lost in the shootings.
