Chicago Threat Closes University - Olivia Browne (Period 6)


A 21-year-old man was arrested Monday, accused of threatening to kill students and staff at the University of Chicago in an apparent attempt to avenge the death of Laquan McDonald, authorities said. Jabari Dean, 21 was arrested without incident. He is expected to appear in court later in the day.
According to a criminal complaint, Dean posted a threat on social media over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Analysis: The Author is Dana Ford and she appears to be a non-biased party. This article was created on November 29th, right after the incident had taken place, adding to the urgency. I had no prior knowledge of this event. The Audience is the concerned American public and this story has a negative effect on them. The reason for writing this article was to educate the American public on this shocking event. This directly relates to the education reforms in the antebellum era in making schools safer.

    Why aren't these events more widely understood by those advocating against gun control? Schools should be places where one feels safe not threatened.
