waking up to a firebomb by: Ruby Aguilar 5th period
Linda, a mother of four children, woke up to a weird smell and her house feeling usually warmer. She then woke up her husband, which is when he went down stair and discovered that their house was on fire. Their house was completely destroyed, but Linda is just simply thankful that she has her children and husband still by her side. As seen, in their camera, it was a single individual who ran up and through the firebomb through their window. Linda, is so sure as to who the person might be so she is hoping someone would recognize them and call the police.
I think this does in a way tie into what we have been learning lately, with regard to the whole federalist vs anti federalist and the revision of the Articles of Confederation. Back then they had to come together and be a union to come up with a decision for their own good. In this case, the neighborhood should come together with the county police and help each have a stronger protection.

That would be terrifying, I hope they catch whoever threw the bomb.
