Chris Brought up a very good point to start off the week. He talked about how the man involved with the shooting in Tucson was mentally ill and how as citizens of the United States we have a right to health care for these issues. He brought forward the question of whether or not Arizona did anything to help this man with his illness and this whole situation could have been avoided.
Celina then talked about how there isn’t much known about the shooters motive yet, so we don’t have a lot of information on him. As for our Governors comment made toward the NAACP she mentioned how unprofessional it made him look and it also reflects on the citizens of Maine because we elected him.
Brandon brought up a very good point about the shooting in Tucson: the state of Arizona didn’t have good security for these representatives. Anybody can have a gun and walk around with it, even a mentally ill person, so they should have better security protecting officials like this. Brandon also brought up a very good point on the comment of our governor to the NAACP. He brought to everyone’s attention that the governor had already made plans for something very important that day and had repeatedly declined the NAACP’s offer, but they wouldn’t leave him alone so he reached a breaking point and just snapped. This was very good information to bring to the groups attention.
Following these interesting points Kellie mentioned that she doesn’t think that shootings like what happened in Tucson can’t be 100% preventable because people can always find ways around security and some people just aren’t good citizens sometimes. Kellie agreed with Celina’s comments about the governors comments making him and us as Maine citizens look bad. She raised the question that his comment may make people wonder when it comes to his comments to certain things and people.
