Attention Getter: It is finally quiet. With your ears still ringing, you walk outside and take in the devastating battle scene, or what used to be your street. Homes reduced to piles of burning lumber, neighbors lying dead in the street, fathers and mothers crying out, siblings... Wait, where is your little sister? She didn’t make it home from school before the terrorists raided your city. Panic sets in and you fear for the worst. I guarantee that a variation of this scenario has been a reality for someone in the Middle East. ISIS has left thousands enslaved, homeless, and dead. This group needs to be stopped but current military efforts aren’t enough. American troops should help defeat ISIS with all of their mass, strength, and ferocity and …show more content…
If you think there is no chance you will be a victim of a terrorist attack, I am sorry to inform you that there is. Those people in the Belgian airport and metro station didn’t think they were in any danger, but now those 300 people have injuries and 32 people are dead. The victim’s immediate families were affected. Hundreds of their friends were affected. Fifty European countries were affected, and all of the free world was affected by this senseless act of terrorism. Now, some may say that the most damage ISIS, or any terror group, can do is if they start changing how we live, but how do you comfortably plan a trip to such a tumultuous area? Connect with Audience: Now maybe some of you believe we should not be fighting a war across the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe some of you don’t care what happens to people who live in Iraq or Syria. But maybe there are some of you who do care but do not think the United States should step in because you believe Americans are not at harm. The people killed in the Paris attacks probably thought Parisians were not at harm …show more content…
Let me repeat that because some of you are looking at me weirdly. Your vote doesn’t matter. No, but your vote, your vote, your vote, your families’ votes, your friends’ votes, this state’s vote, this generation’s vote, this nation’s vote, collectively those matters. Politicians need votes and they will take positions that their voters care about. Let us band together and make this a priority for the presidential candidates. Share that you believe the United States government needs to step up their game. We have the means to end the evil ISIS creates, so please join me in supporting people who can make that happen. Thank you and God Bless the United States of
So, the Lake County High School student body was told today by Jimmy Snyder, that we will be having a school shooting drill sometime in the month of November. Therefore, be prepared for it at any given time of the school day. These people know about the upcoming drill: Parents, Staff, Policemen, and the
Australian people should be opening arms to the Face of Mercy and to the Refugees that are
Death is never an easy thing to understand, though maybe some comic relief will help you out; we have the 10 most ironic deaths ever to occur in history. It may be cruel to find these events to be entertaining, but these deaths deserve some recognition. Look at it this way: they will never be forgotten! Read on to find out how it all happen, and just be thankful it didn’t happen to you. Also, don’t forget to check back soon for our part two article, with the five most ironic deaths of them all!
Host: On September the 11th 2001, the notorious terror organisation known as Al-Qaeda struck at the very heart of the United States. The death count was approximately 3,000; a nation was left in panic. To this day, counterterrorism experts and historians alike regard the event surrounding 9/11 as a turning point in US foreign relations. Outraged and fearful of radical terrorism from the middle-east, President Bush declared that in 2001 that it was a matter of freedoms; that “our very freedom has come under attack”. In his eyes, America was simply targeted because of its democratic and western values (CNN News, 2001). In the 14 years following this pivotal declaration, an aggressive, pre-emptive approach to terrorism replaced the traditional
When we talk about death by gun violence most people think about mass shooting at a school and it is very easy to fall into one of two categories. Either all gun violence deaths are cause by the gun or by the gun owner. But to understand gun violence deaths it is important to understand what exactly gun violence is. Gun violence is a combination of different circumstances: from kids finding his or her father’s gun to spree killing to mass murder to domestic violence to gang violence. Solutions cannot be found as one big idea; there is no “one size fits all.” Gun regulations should stay the as they are currently because too many laws make it harder for people who use guns for protection to get guns, criminals will get guns easier if there are
Unfortunately, the United States has experienced such attacks far too many times. One of the darkest of these experiences may be that of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Including the attacks on both World Trade Centers, the Pentagon, and the failed attempt that crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. These attacks were later found to be the work of Al Qaeda under the leadership of Osama Bin Laden. These attacks would lead us on a crusade that would continue long over a decade, known as...
To be elected into a power of importance here in America and be trusted to make good decisions here in the land of the free, how can they say no to having immigrants here? Are the immigrants the ones shooting up schools? Are the immigrants the ones shooting up cops? No they are not it is the born and pure breed Americans that are tearing this country apart. With all that is wrong with our country i can stand tall and say the majority of the immigrants are not doing anything wrong. I have watched several videos now on what they are having to go though simply because they wanted a better life. They are working very hard to stay in this country and make a difference here. To then pick them up and cuff them like some criminal because they weren
If you are an immigrant or just want to live in one of the best counties in the world illegally, with no penalty if you get caught come to Americana. They will welcome you with open aims Just like (Fred Reed) – said in “Why Blame Mexico” (we say to impoverished Mexicans, “See this river? Don’t cross it. If you do, we’ll give you good jobs, driver’s licenses, citizenship for your kids born here, school for said kids, public assistance, governmental documents in Spanish for your convenience, and a much better future. There is no penalty for getting caught. Now, don’t cross this river, hear?” How smart is that? We’re baiting them. It’s like putting out a salt lick and then complaining when deer come. Immigrant parents would be irresponsible not
Welcome to America. Land of the free, home of the brave. A place they call the “land of opportunity”. Or more famously touted as the “American Dream”. It seems like by just hearing these phrases all you have to do is journey to America to make your dreams come true. That life will be easier by just being in America. Like America is the ice cream man with his truck that plays that all too familiar jingle. As soon as you hear it, like a child you are out of your house pining for his attention so that he may stop and give you the cool, sweet refreshment that everyone loves. Yet, forgetting that in order to get the sweet treat you need to pay. Because, no matter how friendly, nice, or inviting he is. He still needs to work, he still needs to keep his lights on, he has mouths to feed. That ice cream is not free. There is no free lunch.
Besides the shock of this gruesome act, another shocking part was that ISIS blatantly claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing in an online statement that was circulated around via its supporters (CBS/ISIS, 2016). The suicide bomber that is willing to risk their life and take the lives of other innocent people is what we fear and the people of these countries fear daily. Even though this is not occurring on U.S. soil, we still fear what the other side can do if they wanted to attack the United States. After the incidents of Paris, and ISIS claiming responsibility on that, no country is truly safe. Iraq and Syria have seen a spike in violence within the past month, with suicide attacks claimed by ISIS killing more than 170 people (CBS/ISIS, 2016). These attacks follow a string of developments by Iraqi forces backed by U.S. led
Harris and Klebold specified that they had targets by shouting in the library, “Get up! All athletes stand up,” and “Anybody with a white hat [part of the uniform of the athletes] or a sports emblem on it is dead. Today is your day to die.” When nobody stood up, the boys stated “fine, then I’ll just start shooting" as they began to fire their shotguns. When a fellow peer asked “Why are you doing this?” the boys responded “We’ve always wanted to do this. This is payback. We’ve dreamed of doing this for four years. This is for all the shit you put us through. This is what you deserve.” this message seems to been directed at the whole school. When Harris asked asking student Bree Pasquale if she wanted to die as she pleads for her life he replies
Look to the left of you then the right. Rememer those people you just looked at now BANG. That one person, is on the ground bleeding from a bullet wound. You are now a victim of a school shooting, you now are one of those kids from Parkland who survived and their friend just died. Imagine bringing your little brother or sister to the movies and gun shots are fired, your sibling now knows the hard truth that superheros aren’t real and that they can’t save them now.
This is a long post but I think it is worth reading. All that has been on my mind since that school shooting yesterday is the hurt so many people in Florida are experiencing today. Parents waking up today facing the fact that they will never get to see their child again. It breaks my heart I can’t even imagine the heartache that they are going through.
Wow a plane of civil people took over an airplane so that they crashed it into a field in Pennsylvania. There are a whole lot of terrorist attacks that have happen on the world and the biggest is 911 and there will be many more terrorist attack may be bigger than 911. The main terrorist group is al-Qaeda and I think they're planning right this minute to attack some important landmark that we will miss forever. As a kid writing this I am terrified of being in an airport and hear gun shots and see my dad, mom, or sister on the floor injured because my family is the most important thing in my life and if anything happens to them I will be devastated.
There are a lot of people around the world who are deprived of the most important essentials to survival and development.
