    Earlier this year, Americans indicated the two top reasons they disapproved of Congress was the incessant gridlock and partisan bickering, as well as the fact that the legislative body is "not getting anything done" and "not making decisions."

    I know there were a lot of things that were against the teen and also against the cop. from what I know, i thought that police and such were supposed to give a warning....and does everyone these days just shoot to kill? Well, anyway, I was not there but I do know that in some situations, it is really hard to think first and act later if your life is in danger. So I don't really know where my thoughts lie with this, there could have been many differnet outcomes though.

    It's sad and scary to know that society should have to be like this. And people are so afraid. But I agree with Ladasia why shoot to kill? they could of went about the situation a different way.
  • amber1996 on 08 Nov 13
     
    after watching the video I think that not only the officer that shot him should get charges but i think that the company that made the toy gun should be sewed since it's required by law to put a orange cap on fake guns.

    I don't think it was right to shoot him and kill him. I wish there was another way that people could be arrested or taken down without having to use a gun. There needs to be some kind of way we could shoot something into the person to make them faint or something. So then at least someone wouldn't die, and then they could be taken in for further questioning to the reasoning of why they did what they did. This is a hard one to pick what opinion is right. I'm on both sides.

    They should have went for an injuring shot and not a kill one. Maybe this young man would still be alive today.

    The bigger fear for Democrats is that public sentiment will side with Republicans who have warned for four years that Obamacare amounted to big government run amok, resulting in an unmanageable new bureaucracy.
  • ladasia on 11 Nov 13
     
    Well, I hoped things work out in a way that we are actually working together to make the country better for the people and the economy. Obama said in his election speech that we were no longer the red and blue states but the United states of America. I really don't see that happening. A kingdom divided only destroys itself.

    People are getting really ridiculous with this prayer thing. If you don't agree, don't say "Amen". It's the same as if you don't like the pledge of allegiance and so you don't put your hand over your heart but you stand. Just deal with it. We have no choice but to hear the pledge, so you shouldn't make a big deal about something that has always gone on and has never harmed anyone.

    Re: Spencer. I'm not sure having teachers carrying guns would make students FEEL safer, nor am I convinced that having teachers with guns would actually reduce school violence. I do believe that having a on site police officer or dedicated security person is a good idea.

The best known killer whale shows in the United States are at SeaWorld Parks, which are synonymous with their "Shamu" killer whale shows, seen here.
