Thoughts on violence

Violence and how we feed off of it

By: Michael Imparl

Shoo9ngs • The Aurora shoo9ng was in a movie theater during a showing of “ The Dark Knight.” At this massacre, 58 people were injured and 12 more were killed.

• Police say the shooter bought a uniform that looked like a S.W.A.T. uniform over the internet.

• The shooter was caught by his car without resistance. He planned the aPack for a long 9me before execu9ng it.

How To Prevent Similar Incidents • We can have more gun control laws.

• Using assault rifles should be illegal because you don’t use them for hun9ng. They were made for killing.

Sandy Hook • Sandy Hook was a school shoo9ng where 26 people were killed including the social worker, the principal and some teachers. The rest of the vic9ms were children.

• The shooter, aVer the school was surrounded by police, shot himself in the head.

• Many of the children who survived had nightmares about the shoo9ng, asking their parents if the bad man was going to get them.

Crime • Crime is a big problem this na9on faces.

• Crime is all over. Every place you go there crime. It feels like there is no escape.

• Crime and violence affect many people all over the United States.

My Opinion On Violence • We feed off of violence.

• Violence is a part of our society.

• There doesn’t seem to be a way to eliminate violence because the first thing some people do to solve a problem is resort to using their fists, a gun, or a weapon.

• Violence begins when someone threatens another. This verbal threat leads to physical violence.

• Jail does not seem to be a threat to some groups that are involved in violent ac9vi9es.

• This is a problem because innocent people are ge\ng hurt, even though they are not part of these violent groups. They get caught in the crossfire.

On Purchasing Guns • Assault rifles should not be allowed on the streets or in any home. They should be illegal to the general public.

• I think that in order to buy a gun everyone in your household should have to get a mental stability test.

• These measures would help prevent gun violence.

Why does our society need violence?
