I like where Kayla went with the first question: it’s not the gun laws that are to blame for these tragic occurrences, but the people in control who are the ones we need to hold responsible. In addition, I think from a moral standpoint, it is obvious what this man did was wrong. As a child, I was taught to never lie, hate, or especially hurt others. If a person had what I wanted—no matter if it was material or say fame—I was to not take from them, but to earn it myself. I feel that this man deliberately hurt others for his own personal gain, which, according to my parents, is morally wrong. I have to agree with my parents on this one. I know that as citizens, we are given rights, and when we abuse the rights by breaking the laws, we lose them, and I feel that that is justice.
I am upset with Governor Paul LePage. It is not entirely because he was not attentive when he was asked, because I feel that family is important. It was not entirely because of what he said, because I feel that he should not be harassed. It was a mix of the two. Since he was not present, and because he spoke as I feel as inappropriate, he represented the state of Maine poorly. I do think, however, that up until the point of him saying “tell them to kiss my butt” I feel he explained himself rather nicely. Nevertheless, I think both parties—the media and Governor Paul LePage—were wrong. I will not mention who I voted for in this past election, but I will say that our state did not elect Paul LePage for his wretched temper. If he cannot control his anger towards other because of what they say, we have a big problem. To me, he is acting like a child, a bully, and I don’t quite care to listen to him again.
