shooting

1. In January a shooting in Tucson, Arizona occured. Twenty people were injured and six people were killed; both from gunfire. I believe it has a very bad spin on our roles as citizens epecially after the events ten years ago; cincering September eleventh. It did not reflect strongly towards us as a people and a whole. At the meeting an individual whose name was Jared Lee Loughner was arrested at the scene. Its moral meaning is something completely different. Some person had the arrogance to walk to a governor's meeting and start shooting. He walked up to Arizona's 8th congressional district democrat and shot her point blank in the head. Morally he should be made to rot in jail; I don't believe he deserves the satisfaction of dying right away for his crimes.


2. I think morally that man should step down from his governing position. How is someone who won't even support a man who fought for change going to lead us? That comment was just disrespectful and arrogant. I think it made him even more of a coward for then retreating; that proves he can't even stand up to his own words. As a citizen the American history and the hard times we went through should always be in the back of everyone's mind. Then he has an adopted black son. How can your son ever look up to you hearing those words? He will be ashamed of his father as a lot of not only Maine but American citizens should be.
