Current Event: Chicago threat suspect allegedly sought to avenge Laquan McDonald’s death

A 21 year old man, Jabari Dean was arrested on Monday because he was accused of threatening to kill students on the University of Chicago school campus. He said his justification for doing this is because Laquan McDonald was murdered and he wants to avenge his death. He posted on social media his plan to go to the quad at the University and shoot 16 white male students and or professors because McDonald was shot 16 times. For the students and teachers safety to school was closed all day Monday until 12 p.m. for safety precautions. As of right now the FBI is still investigating the situation. This effects the world because so many school shootings have occurred over the past 10 years then ever before all around the world. From primary students  to high school students and even college students have to wake up every morning knowing that there could be a chance of a shooter coming to their school. This is also why it effects me as well. No matter how safe they try and make our schools, if a shooter wants in, he will get in.

Current Event: Attacks on Paris

Brutal attacks occurred in Paris, France last week from suicides bombings to mass shootings on Friday 13th. They even took people as hostages. The attacks all over Paris resulted in 132 deaths and 352 others severely injured and hospitalized. The attacks in France were the worst attacks since World War 2 that happened in France. French president Francois Hollande said that they are considering these attacks as an act of war on whomever did this to the French. I think this will greatly effect the world in many different ways because it could lead to yet another World War, and with all of the nuclear weapons so many countries have now, the outcome will not be good. I also feel that this effects me and other people in East Texas because they could strike at us next. They hit Paris unexpectedly so who’s yo say they won’t do the same to us.

Current Event: Small plane crashes in Akron, Ohio; all on board reported killed

A small jet plane crashed into a house in Akron, Ohio. It is not yet confirmed who the passengers are or how many died but the plane has been identified as a hawker jet twin-engine plane. The planes only have the capacity of about 10 people. The plane was engulfed in flames and crashed into one house then kept going into the house behind it. Thankfully, no one on the ground was injured. The cause of the crash has not yet been able to be identified but local Ohio police are investigating. The plane crashed on its way to the Akron Fulton International Airport. this effects the world because not only could this have happened in the United States but also other places around the world. It gives us yet another reminder that the world is not a very safe place and anything can happen. This also effects me personally because that is very to think that a plane can come crashing through my roof at any second.

Current Event: Woman stoned to death in Afghanistan over accusation of adultery

My current event is over a stoning that took place in Afghanistan because a women committed adultery. She was only 19 years old and her name was Rokhshana. She was forced to be with another man named Seema Joyenda. They were caught only two days after the got married. The Taliban forces ordered her to be stoned to death but her husband was only lashed. This video has got much attention from social media. This event really does affect the world because it shows the rest of us how unfairly women are treated and how they get very severe punishments such as death while men only get minor punishments. This really does affect me although it is on the whole other side of the world because it could eventually occur in our country and I could not imagine my mother getting stoned or any women in my family and see them die. Their punishments are very brutal and unfair in Afghanistan.
