On Thursday February 12, 2015 BBC published an article called "Chapel Hill murders: Turkish leader challenges Obama." This article is about three young Muslim students here in the United States who were murdered and how President Obama hasn't made a public announcement or talked at all about the whole situation. Since the police are unsure of the motives behind the gunman they aren't calling it a hate crime but it is a possibility. I think this article is important and should be read to bring awareness on many issues.
Hate being the most important one. Was this a hate crime? What would drive someone to think killing someone else because of their religion or ethnicity is acceptable. If it wasn't a hate crime why did the gunman shoot and kill these three Muslim students? Mental health being another issue that our county needs to take more seriously. Did the gunman have any mental health issues? I think the country should be making more of an effort to bring awareness to mental health. You can't go to school anymore with out the fear of something happening. Everyone has to be politically correct to not offend anyone with what they say or how they say it. What is it going to take for things to change? To be able to walk out in the world with out the fear or someone doing something to harm one another.
