Dawson Massacre

I've seen some pretty crazy stuff in my 18 years of living on Earth. However there have been a few Major event that have happened that changed the way I've lived. The school shooting that happened in the year 2012 was a major change in society and a greater effect in my school life. After the shooting a lot of things changed in school Parent's couldn't relax knowing that schools might not be a safe place for the kids. Before that event there wasn't so many cops at school they would only be one…

Recently today a bomb detonated at the Sunbury Aquatic Center, during a Sunbury Downs College swimming carnival. The Bomb Squad have been to the location and are currently conducting an investigation of the events. This tragic event has killed over 1,000 students and nearly 100 teachers, plus seven people who were killed when shrapnel from the the explosive device hit pedestrians and motorists traveling near by. We spoke to the Victorian Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton who said, “The events…

Ulrich Seidl’s new documentary, “In the Basement”, is mordantly funny, creepily outrageous, and boldly raw. The film gathers a set of suburban Austrian people, who expose themselves by allowing us to peak on what’s going on in their basements. Clearly, the whole is weaker than the sum of the parts, however, my voyeuristic side was awaken by the intimate little secrets it keeps unveiling, even if a couple of unnecessary scenes are there only with the purpose of shocking the viewers. The idea and…

Did you know there have been 175 school shootings since the year 2013? There has been an average of 1 per week! ("175 School Shootings In America Since 2013”). The question I want to ask you is how many of these school shootings could have been stopped if there were armed guards present? Even though an untrained guard can cause accidents, armed guards will make schools safer because armed guards can work with teachers to prevent and avoid these dangerous situations or if a dangerous situation…

There are many alternatives but as many may not work we have to keep trying to solve these problems. Many thing will fail to stop mass shootings but we’ve got to find something. We cannot turn to something as dangerous as guns on school property it would create an even bigger problem. They had a buzz-in system at Sandy Hook, but it did them no good at all, the guy shot his way in. School-associated student homicide rates decreased significantly after the federal laws restricting guns in schools…

Anthony Holmes woke up on April 20, 1999 around 3:00 pm in Omaha, Nebraska. At the time, he was employed by the Air Force, working night shifts that lasted from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am. He turned on the news as usual, ate some food- except, unknown to him, nothing that day was going to be the usual routine. He went to work, and that was where he would learn the horror of what had happened earlier that day. What Holmes did not know yet was that at 11:19 am earlier that day, Eric Harris and Dylan…

One of the things that I saw in the movie that I recognized from class was the Battle at Little Bighorn, which, in the movie showed Sitting Bull and mentioned Crazy Horse. Another one of the other things that was in the movie and discussed in class were that gold was discovered in the Sioux’s tribal land, the Black Hills, and that the government tried to trade with them other land so that they would acquire the Black Hills. We had also talked about reservations, which were government-controlled…

Savannah Mauck Mrs. Greenley Research Paper 1 February 2017 “Columbine shooting” On April 20, 1999, the most deadliest attack in any American high school history had happened (enimwikipedia.org). Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris decided to go on a killing spree on April 20. In 1998, Dylan and Eric were both arrested and sent to a juvenile program after they stole from a van (cnn.com). They both like violent video games, movies, and music (Brezina 23). Their parents had told the news that they were…

I believe that movies, music, and television shows play an important role in influencing cultures. Especially well-known movies, like Easy Rider, could impact the viewers’ perceptions. This movie showed a “hippies” counter-culture (Ferris & Stein, 2014) in the U.S. that many Americans did not know about, such that they considered the behaviors in the culture to be deviant (Ferris & Stein, 2014) that they need to be punished. The way George and Billy were killed by the rednecks in the movie…

Do you feel safe today with all the gun violence going on in the world? Innocent people are getting shot by police. Mass murders in public places. Police getting killed for doing their job. For example, what happen on December 14, 2012 when 26 innocent people died at a school. At San Bernardino shooting 14, people were killed and 22 seriously injured. It seems today every time you turn on the tv there is something to do with gun violence. With that in mind, I believe the government should…
