Summary: On Monday November 28th at 9 a.m, a suspect rammed a car into pedestrians at Ohio State University, then proceeded to go on a stabbing spree which left 11 injured. The suspect- who was later identified as Abdul Artan, a permanent U.S resident from Somalia who was studying logistics management at Ohio State- was immediately gunned down minutes after the beginning of the attack by one of the campus police officers. The campus went on a 90 minute shut down while they tried to sort everything out. The suspect is being investigated for connections with radical Islamic terrorism, but the campus has told its students to not jump to conclusions and to let the investigators do their job.
Analysis: Yet again another tragedy has struck America, luckily there were no fatalities. These acts of violence are becoming more and more frequent and that's pretty scary. Something needs to be done to limit these acts of violence, we need to better protect our fellow Americans from these attacks. This can be connected to the acts of violence in "Bleeding Kansas", senseless bloodshed over stupid ideals that could be solved through different means.
All we can do is pray and hope that we are never put in a crazy situation like this, nobody likes to feel unsafe.

ReplyDeleteI like how you said "senseless bloodshed over stupid ideals that could be solved through different means." I feel like America is going through a period where that seems to be the most common answer.
