The headline of the article I've given a review of is 'Denver shooting: Aparahoe High School gunman intended to harm many people'. Its author is Nikhil Kumar. It was published in 'Independent' 15 December 2013.
The article under discussion is devoted to the problem of teenagers' dangerous antisocial behavior. At the beginning of the article the author describes the accident which took place at a Denver area high school. 18-year-old Karl Pierson arrived at Arapahoe High School in the Denver suburb of Centennial around midday on Friday, armed with a pump-action shotgun, a machete and three Molotov cocktails, and critically injured a 17-year old student Claire Davis before turning his gun on himself. The author asserts that the gunman's intention was more devastating as he was going to harm multiple individuals.
Furthermore, the author points out that the gun used in this attack also took part in several more frightening accidents such as a bloody 1999 high school shooting. Moreover, the author dwells on fact that the gun had been bought legally at a local store. To stress the situation in conclusion the author makes it clear that under Colorado law, shotguns can be sold to 18 year olds, while the minimum age to purchase a handgun is 21.
I found the article of a great value as, unfortunately, there are lots of examples of such horrible actions mainly made by young people. The main justification that such gunmen mention is their psychological trauma which they have got in the childhood. However, I consider these people don't have any excuses to behave this way and none of us has a right to kill or injure each other.
Dear friends, I'm rather concerned that such people are around us and our world still continues their upbringing and let them behave the way they want. What do you think pushes people for a crime? How can we cope with this problem and remain in safety?

Dear Ann, thank you for the informative article! You're right these accidents hapen too frequently around us and the statistics is really terrible. There always have been people who just like being evil or who need medical help end etc.. It is impossible to destroy such a "disease" and there is nothing left but be careful and beg God to bless us.
ОтветитьУдалитьThank you Ann for such informative article. It's very terrible when such accedents happen, especially when there take part youth like you and me. I don't understand why they do this. I think even they can't explain it. Unfortunatly, in the mordern world we can't sure in our safety at 100 %. Cause in any time and any places the danger may wait us. But I advice you to be carefull when you are in the unknown town or city or somewhere else.
