Hostage

did come to reveal the capability of the public to be compassionate. On the 15th of December 2014, Man Haron Monis held 18 hostage in a Lindt Chocolate Café, Martin Place, Sydney. After a 16-hour standoff, a gunshot prompted officers to storm the café where a Monis was killed. A hostage was killed by Monis, another was killed by a police bullet ricochet and three other hostages as well as a police officer were injured by police gunfire during the raid. This prompts the question of whether the…

The Bandar-Log are like bullies in many ways. They attack wounded animals for fun so they will get noticed. They are rude to animals that did not do anything to them. The Bandar-Log kidnapped Mowgli and kept him as hostage. The Bandar-Log kidnapped Mowgli because they wanted Mowgli to weave. The Bandar-Log are badder than bullies. Many school bullies call people names or hurt people just to get noticed, but I never heard about any bullies kidnapping or hurting animals for fun.…

weaken their targets. The AMB also uses kidnappings and hostage taking to make demands that support their goals. Most recent attacks have been in response to French activity in Mali. In January 2014, the AMB took control of a British Petroleum gas plant near Amenas, Algeria. The AMB attacked the plant in retaliation against Algeria for allowing France to utilize their air space, launching air strikes into northern Mali. The AMB took 800 hostages, using them to demand the release of French…

Brown killed innocent people in his act of “freeing” slaves. Many families were ruined because of him. They lost their homes and loved ones. As Colonel Lewis A. Washington said “holding people like me hostage with a gun to our heads and killing innocent people”. John Brown was holding people hostage and killing them to free slaves? Those things don’t connect. If you were trying to free slaves you would go to the slaves and free them, but John Brown killed and traumatized many young people that…

something we see on our computers today. A recent ransom ware attack happened in Hollywood. A Presbyterian Medical Center reveal that they payed 40 bit coins roughly $17.000 dollars in ransom to hackers who essentially held the hospital’s computer system hostage. The ransom…

(Pruitt & Kim, 71). The prisoners in the Attica riot were not threatened through a clear statement, but rather it is implicit. The prisoners threatened the Attica personnel by taking hostages initially. Although the rioters did not harm the guards, the act of taking and holding hostages implied that they would hurt the hostages if their demands were not met. Secondly, when the rioters were giving speeches after amnesty was denied, they were in a revolutionary mindset and explicitly threated the…

John Brown was an American abolitionist who led a raid on October 16, 1859. This small raid was directed towards the U.S. Military Arsenal in hopes of freeing the African American slaves. A terrorist is an individual whom uses violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. John Brown’s actions at Pottawatomie Creek and Harper’s Ferry demonstrated similar qualities in terrorist attacks today such as: attacking a government base and the killing of…

No one wants to be tortured. Sitting in my padded chair facing my desk it is easy to say that. There are problems out in the world that will put pressure on others into doing things that will hurt others. The source of these problems could be religious, family, or threats, but again the world isn’t so nice as to leave out the people who will do these things just because they want to. I have mixed feelings about using torture but it could be a possible solution to life-threating issue and only a…
