Death by Ignorance and Stupidity


In reading these three articles it is clear that America is in a league all by itself. I have lived in five different countries and these articles are astounding to read. Granted that incidences such as these are not only faced upon in the US. Each one focuses on young adults killing or abusing younger children. In Nairobi, Kenya the only killings that were heard of regarded tribal disagreements or political views. “I, who have no sisters or brothers, look with some degree of innocent envy on those who may be said to be born to friends.” This quote by James Boswell shows the true gift of having a sibling is, yet William Gorzynski kills his brother who is only one year younger than himself, over loud music. Family is the whole of Africa is not just handed to you, family is to them a gift, they are actually thankful to have someone that loves them unconditionally whereas, the selfishness in some American citizens is overwhelming, an irrefutably benign and foreign to that of a person who cares about their family and the family of others. One who has the will to take someone’s family away from someone else is either supremely narcissistic or ignorant and untaught. “When a needle falls into a deep well, many people will look into the well, but few will be ready to go down after it. “ This quote means that few people on this earth a willing to sacrifice themselves when another person is in need. Going to the Gang Rape story where five young male adults watched a woman be raped, beaten and robbed and not one of them had the care in the world to do the right thing. Instead they watched the rights of a woman be stripped away from her leaving her naked, bleak and used. This is something seen in only some parts of the world, either way it should not, should never be tolerated in any country, state, town or city. What ever happened to civil rights or civil liberties; equal treatment of all people with respect to protection of the law and to the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property.
