Florida School Shooting
Nikolas Cruz, a 19 year old, was the sole author of one of the deadliest mass shootings in the U.S history. On February 14th, 2018, he walked into a South Florida high school and killed 17 people, 14 students and 3 adults.
This Wednesday the Florida state announced that they will seek death penalty for the teen. Cruz was willing to plead guilty in order to avoid the death penalty, but now, he is declining to enter a plea.
I personally don´t know how to feel about the fact that a complete state is looking for and, set on killing a teen, even if he did himself kill so many people. I don´t know if we, as common people, have rights over a human life, even if that life is responsible for the death of others. How do you guys feel about the death penalty for teens?

I think this is a tragedy, but this happens a lot in U.S. This is because the americans have the habit of having arms since childhood.
ResponderEliminarI think that although the crimes that this teen committed are horrible, no one has the right to choose over a human life.
ResponderEliminarI think that The United States have a great problem of gun control. Although i am a liberal and i think that banning things is never a solution, regulation is needed to prevent mentally ill and potentially dangerous people from getting their hands over a firearm. Sadly, I think that president Donald Trump will not solve this problem because he only thinks of the money he gets from the NRA.
I think that choosing the right to live depending on a person's acts is not the way of making justice correctly. Using this kind of punishment happens to be unmoral and unprofessional under my point of view. About the shooting, I think the government of the US should not let anyone over 18 years old be able to buy a weapon, and that giving weapons to the teachers is not a mature way to manage the situation. People should need special requirements (specifically psicological pemits) to buy guns and create a safer society.
ResponderEliminarI agree with Victor and Guillermo. I remember going to a public school that had a metal detector to check if students were carrying guns or knives. Violence doesn't solve your problems. Most times students had psychological problems that nobody detected or some personal unresolved issues. Maybe we need more counselors at schools, and definitely less guns.
ResponderEliminarViolence is never the solution. I don't think death penalty is the correct way to teach a generation about the consequences of their acts. Life is the biggest gift one can recieve and no one has the right to take that from you, and I believe in second chances. Although this kid conducted a horrible act, taking his life away is not the correct way of dealing with the problem, he deserves a better sentence. The schools from the united states have lived enough shootings to start making a change and start doing something about the gun control, which is a true problem that is present across the united states population. Killing is not a humane way of dealing with problems, but all this attacks can be avoided with a better gun-controll law, which must be considered. How many people have to die in these attacks in order for the government to start doing real change?
ResponderEliminarI think this act of terror isn’t the best way to solve personal problems and many people probably think this is not very comun but this happens every single month in the United States because everyone can hold arms even a 10 year old kid. This is unacceptable and they must make a quick change in this habits.
