1. Does this kind of situation make you nervous? Why?
It does kind of make me nervous because there are people out there who're dangerous to the society and could possibly hurt a lot of people. There are a lot of people who are violent and just waiting for the right moment to hurt someone and people need to be aware.
2. If he had survived, what kind of punishment should he have had?
He should have been imprisoned for life because he was fully prepared to kill and while he didn't kill anyone, he injured people and went on multiple fully loaded shooting sprees.
3. What should society be doing to help stop this kind of activity?
Society should be helping people who can't help themselves and should be monitoring who needs the help. There are people that need help, but haven't or can't get it.
4. Do people have the right to believe as they want, but as long as they don't act on it, it is okay?
I think that people have the right to believe whatever they want, as long as they don't act on those beliefs. If the belief is good then it is okay to act on it, but in some cases they should be kept inside.
5. Should the state and federal government be involved in trying to keep this kind of thing from happening again?
Yes they should be monitoring these to people to try and prevent these things from happening again. It should be part of their responsibilities to protect us.
5A. If you said yes to question 5 - what do you think some of the problems might be if they are involved?
If the government is involved then people might get suspicious or they might get arrested for the wrong reasons, like something they didn't do.
5B. If you said no to question 5 - why do you think they shouldn't be involved and who should be in control of trying to stop these kinds of activities?
I said yes.
