Jesica Rodriguez – Discussion 7

In today’s world, we are still dealing with gun violence. Even so many mass shootings in schools. Shooting in churches, in the streets, and inside churches. There are demands for all these mass shootings to stop. Enough is enough, how many more innocent lives are we going to keep losing if there is no stop to it. I wanted to bring this topic up because recently in New York there has been so much going on, especially around my neighborhood. It was on April 15th this year early in the morning as people were heading to work. I was shocked to hear that there was a Brooklyn subway shooting in Sunset Park. I don’t live close to sunset park but I take the R train that passes by there to visit my friends or family members. Back when I was in high school the train I took passed and stopped on 36th st. I wouldn’t think shooting on that stop would happen. Very scary to see and to see how people were terrified and so much going on there. Ever since that happened people feared taking the subway because of what happened in that Brooklyn NY subway shooting. Then there was an incident that happened at Barclays center where a young teenage boy was shot in the head. You just never know once you leave your home you have to take precautions when going out and never know whether we come back or not. There’s so much crime in New York right now that it’s just so sad and some of it gets us angry because it’s like why are these people doing this. They should be kicked out of this state or put away. Hope in the future this issue of gun violence gets resolved.
