Vegas Shooting- JJ Jankovsky

Such an awful thing happened during the weekend in Vegas. A sick man shot 586 people in his from out of the window of his hotel room. 59 killed and 527 injured. The shots fired for 10 minuets straight. Police recovered 23 guns from his hotel room and 19 from his actual home. This is said to be the deadliest shooting in US history. Stephen Paddock was the awful man go cause all of this mess. After Paddock shot all of these people he pulled the trigger on himself so he could do it before the cops did. Such a coward. This is such a devastating event and my heart goes out to everyone involved. This shouldn’t be an issue today. Why do we have such sick people running around causing this. An awful story.

This connects back to history in the sense of all of the mass shooting of different colonies coming on others in different wars. It was in the aspect of war but still people weren’t expecting to die. This is such an awful thing in history and I’m devastated for all of the families who have to suffer the loss or injuries of their loved ones. I can’t even imagine the loss.

  3. Mass shootings are terrible tragedies indeed. What are your thoughts on gun control and their impact on criminal activity?

  4. What were the supposed reasons behind Paddock initiating such an attack against innocent civilians?

    1. The problem with that Wolfgang is that we probably won’t know. The act of him ending his own life prevented us from gaining much needed knowledge from this tragedy, making it seem like there is little to no silver lining. It’s important, however, to keep as level head as possible when treading into this sort of thing, as it could result in more faults such as this one down the road.

  6. The worst part about this tragedy is that we could never be able to anticipate or prepare for something like this. It's truly awful.
