3 People Injured In Alabama Church Shooting

In a church in Alabama, a mother, child, and pastor, were shot by a man who allegedly tried to start a fire in the tabernacle. The man was the kid’s father and the mother’s boyfriend. The man shot all three and fled the scene, he was later captured by police. They are all alive, but the mother is in critical condition.

Obviously the guy was very abusive, but that is no reason for him to try and kill his problems. I believe that we live in a completely flawed world that has no hope. The child had no say in any of this, so I don’t know why he was shot. He should be put in jail for attempted murder. There was not really anything that could have been helped in this case, once again it was an angry man with a gun.

I believe that once again, the government officials are going to want to strengthen the gun laws, and if events like this keep happening, they might actually be successful. The world is becoming more and more flawed every day, and this is the world we have to live in. The world I going to see these events and realize that if the U.S can’t protect their own citizens, then how are they going to help other countries in need. The world is becoming more chaotic, and the government is trying to take our guns away. I think they will be very unsuccessful.

Iran’s Supreme Leader: There will be no such thing as Israel in 25 years

This article is covering the agreement with Iran to reduce their uranium stockpile for The Islamic Republic being lifted from sanctions.

The Obama administration had signed a treaty with Iran to reduce their uranium stockpile, in order for the sanctions on the Islamic Republic to be lifted. In response to this agreement, the supreme leader has stated that Israel will not last 25 more years. There is not really any room for another meaning for what he said. There have been meetings about stopping the terrorism of Iran.

I honestly believe that the leader of Iran is way over stepping his boundaries. Iran and The Islamic Republic have been trying to get rid of Israel for a very long time but they have not been successful, so I honestly don’t think they will be this time. With allies like the US and UK, there would be another world war before Iran could even step foot in Israel. The United Nations would have a major issue with this as well. The UN was made to protect smaller nations from being taken over by a larger country, and that is just what they will do.

The world will have a fit about this, because it was a verbal threat to an allied country. Israel has many more countries that would back them then Iran would, especially due to the terrorism. The agreement was just made to get rid of a major portion of their uranium, so this gives a worry that they will ignore the agreement. This was a verbal threat that will not stand unpunished. I do believe that we will have our soldier move into Iran once again.

Georgia Officer Probably Shot By Fellow Officer

A Georgia officer was called in about a burglary in a house, but he was not truly aware of the situation. Reporters believe that he was actually shot by one of the fellow officers with him instead of the homeowner, who was also shot. It was unclear, but the investigators believe that the homeowners had committed no crimes. Three officers are on administrative leave.

I feel that if the officers simply got the wrong address, that this could happen to anyone, and it could end worse. I personally feel like officers should keep better control over their happy trigger fingers when it comes to them being nervous about a situation that they are nervous about. This personally makes me pretty angry, because not only were the homeowners not doing anything wrong, the policemen went in with guns blazing without completely understanding the situation. I honestly feel like the other officer shot the one that was injured.  I feel like all of this could have been avoided with more precaution.

This is honestly going to add to the point of gun control, because even if the civilian was unarmed, the government would still bring up the possibility of an officer getting shot on duty. This event will make it harder for civilians to own guns, whether or not it was their fault or not. The whole idea of guns kill people would be made stronger, but we all know it is the person. I do personally believe that officers should have to take more precaution, and that the precaution is enforced. This will be a big topic because of the enforcement on gun control.
