Are We Safe?

A large social issue that is concern to me is school or public shootings. These types of things scare me very much; it is scary knowing this can happen in any school, university or just a public place. You do not know what is going on in someone else’s mind, that’s what worries me. One person can just go into any place and kill people without even thinking twice about it. Some of those people may have a reason for what they are going to do or what they did. It scares me to go to college knowing that one person can walk into a class and kill me. It’s even worse knowing that that can happen in my own school, where I have been going since kindergarten. Knowing these people for this many years I don’t think anybody would do that.  These types of things concern me very much; it can happen in even the calmest place such as church. Just recently a kid walked into a church and opened fire without even second guessing.

Knowing that there is someone out there in the world that is just thinking about walking into a random public place and opening fire is the scary part. It can be any public place, you never know what is going through that persons head, it can be anything. You can be in a grocery store and this can happen. This is a social issue that concerns me very much.
