    The actions of the suspect on the plane was uncalled for and the intensions of the suspect are unknown.

    This sounds like a bad idea for a prank.

    Sad that someone would do something so stupid to scare people, knowing the past with terrorism and planes.

    It's scary to think this can happen any where. Just on a plan to Denver this happened. It's also really weird that the man was not arrested.

    I don't understand this fully but from what it seems a man running towards the cockpit of a plan while also not responding to the flight attendants is something to be alert about. I think those 2 men reacted fairly towards the safety of them selves and others. I think on each planes there should be trained guys like them to protect incase there is something real like that on a plane.

    I think this guy was definitely on some type of drug to be this stupid. They said he was fidgeting on the ground so I think he was on drugs and had something mentally wrong with him. I'd be intrigued to see if they did blood work on the guy after they took him to jail to see if there was anything in his system or if he was actually trying to commit an act of terror.

    I found it really weird on how afterwards they didn't arrest him.
  • claireboes on 20 Mar 15
     
    It sounds like this man might have just been emotionally unstable, considering that after everything happened he started pleading and saying "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." There could have been medication involved, whether or not it was prescribed or not, and other factors influencing his behavior. It doesn't surprise me that they didn't arrest him quite yet, seeing as he doesn't have any suspicious background or anything of the nature.

    Its weird that they let him go, though he did not seem to right in the head. Just maybe alittle out there, not sure whats going on. But at the same time, why did they not arrest him.

    "Jihad" is not a violent concept. It's a miscommunication.

    The Ebola virus outbreak that's ravaging West Africa probably started with a single infected person, a new genetic analysis shows. This West African variant can be traced genetically to a single introduction, perhaps a person infected by a bat, researchers report in the journal Science.

    That's crazy that it started to pop up in Central Africa around 2004 but is just now spreading like wildfire over there and coming to the US.

    On Wednesday, Pope Francis urged Americans to "not be afraid to welcome" immigrants into the U.S., a stark contrast with Trump's harsh language calling undocumented Mexican immigrants "killers" and "rapists." Trump has also pledged to build a massive wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and deport the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.
  • crupp376 on 24 Sep 15
     
    Even though Trump offended a very large group of people what he said he is still standing by it even with the Pope disagreeing with him. The Pope is a powerful global religious leader with many followers worldwide so I think it might be a good idea to listen to him and take his advice if he says that you shouldn't be afraid to welcome in new people and be more aware of what we are doing to the world and climate. Not saying jump on the band wagon but he might be slightly wiser.

    I feel like Obama is actually trying to help us because America has done a lot of snooping and getting in other's business these past few years. The bombs in different cities are a huge problem and he's trying to resolve it, but not in war. America is trying to make peace with everyone, but we really can't when there's so much fighting and hate in the world.
  • rwilson761 on 07 Dec 15
     
    I agree with what president Obama said, I think that since the attack its finally opening his eyes and realizing that were in danger to snd they need to take action and do something about it.
  • baddison758 on 07 Dec 15
     
    I think that Obama is taking very good steps in the fight against ISIS by showing the international community that we are willing to help and that we need the help of other countries to be able to defeat a force that affects everyone. I think he is doing the right thing with our defense against ISIS getting agents in our country with focusing the fight online and in our immigration process.
  • haveltherock on 08 Dec 15
     
    I agree that Obama should at least act on the threat because of the attack. Its bring violence to his doors that he needs to act upon before its to late that terrorists are running up and down our streets. ( ZAC OLSON )
  • molson922 on 08 Dec 15
     
    I think that Obama is doing a good job to comfort the concerns of the U.S., and I also think why so many people think the government is doing nothing is because they have to keep some of it secret for our own safety and so ISIS does'nt known our plan.
  • trocha340 on 08 Dec 15
     
    i think obama should act on the threat
  • ross_fisher on 08 Dec 15
     
    I believe President Obama has the right idea in taking on terrorists this way because he's not just having us as one country going after ISIS. He's having us as a group of countries go after this group that continues to terrorize for no other reason than for public awareness and publicity on their organization. He also has a good view about the "gun control" with automatic rifles, he is just saying that it's better to make sure that no one who isn't a professional can't use the weapon.
  • nwailes919 on 17 Dec 15
     
    In my opinion Obama should take action the way he plans to. How long before these plans come into action?

    In other words, some influential Senate Democrats want Obama to choose a nominee who Republicans would ordinarily support but are only opposing now because it's an election year. This, they believe, would allow them to paint the GOP as intransigent and well outside of the mainstream, undermining the Senate GOP's election-year argument that they are committed to governing in a bipartisan manner.

    "Last April, telecom giant T-Mobile announced a megadeal: a $26 billion merger with rival Sprint, which would more than double T-Mobile's value and give it a huge new chunk of the cellphone market. But for T-Mobile, one hurdle remained: Its deal needed approval from the Trump administration."

    This event does seem very hypocritical. This is pretty much saying government officials need to be safe, but schools do not.
  • Mackenzie Frush on 01 May 18
     
    "As a result, firearms and firearm accessories, knives or weapons of any kind will be prohibited in the forum prior to and during his attendance," I find this event to be extremely hypocritical. It is basically a slap in the faces of all the Parkland victims. Why are they, and other citizens, not being treated with the safety precautions that politicians are. I find this very offensive for Pence to do this.
  • ashlynperaza on 01 May 18
     
    Agreeing with rtanner112, it is hypocritical and very ironic. It seems like the "higher up" only care about themselves, and not the common people.
  • cjones560 on 01 May 18
     
    I understand why they wouldn't want guns, just because it is a political event and it is for the protection of the vice president. However, it does seem hypocritical that they're pro-gun when they're in the right hands, yet won't let their members carry them at the meeting.
  • marrissa_842 on 01 May 18
     
    I don't understand why schools be afforded the same protections the VP was allowed. Where is the difference between the two? He doesn't want to put his life at danger, so why are school students forced to?

"In some quarters that would be considered an act of war."
