Synagogue Massacre
By Grayson Decker
On October 27, a man open fired in a Pittsburgh synagogue filled with people. 11 people were killed, 4 police officers were wounded, and 2 civilians were wounded. The culprit was Mr. Bowers, a 46 year old man, who was charged with 29 criminal counts. These events unfolded one day after pipe bombs were being sent to anti-trump supporters. Trumps take one the massacre involved it being "very devastating" and he believed that if "the temple had some kind of protection," then "it could have been a different story."
The bill of rights was created to give the people individual liberates, but in cases like these, those liberties were broken and abused. our "right to bear arms" was created as a protection from the government, now a way to shoot up religious grounds. This also goes against the first amendments freedom of religion since this man was an anti-Semite. This shows that we have rights under our government but we as citizens are naturally trusted not to abuse those rights.
