The Santa Shooting
I read about the Santa shooting. I have to say that times have changed that is for sure. Christmas is supposed to be a happy time for people. The man was suffering but that is no excuse to go on a murderous rampage. Times are hard on everyone. The man had gone through a tough divorce and had lost his job. So far I think nine people have been found dead because of this man. It must be terrible to learn on Christmas that your loved one has been murdered. The world has changed, there are so many murders every year in the United States of America. Why is our country so violent? We do not really know. Our society has lost something over the last forty or fifty years. We turn against each other in times of trouble. Other countries do not have such high murder rates. Hopefully, the family members of those people who were murdered will be able to deal with their losses. It was such a tragic event. Hopefully, the murder rate will decrease in the near future. We should solve our problems with words not bullets.
