Week 2 Blog: Two Important Events

1) Brandon made a good point about the security for the state of Arizona, but I'm not convinced that it definitely would have prevented the shootings. Although there is a better chance that it would have been prevented, I think these types of things can never be 100% preventable. People always know how to get around security. I also agree with Celina's comment about the shooter not being a good citizen. Someone who is going to shoot another person, especially a congress woman, obviously isnt too concerned about the well being of others or respecting the laws of this country. The questions asked by Chris are good ones to think about. We wonder what Arizona did as a precaution to prevent something like this from happening, if anything at all. I think the shooter being mentally challenged doesnt make this any less of a crime, but I definitely think people should be given more help in these types of situations.

2) Celina's comments about the governor I think were stated very well. I think his comments made him seem careless and ignorant. You're suppose to be representing people, and his comments made us look bad. He is expected to be more professional than that. Maybe he should have taken the time to explain himself. This may make people question him when it comes to his committment to certain things and people.
