Las Vegas Shooting


       

    At Least 59 Killed in Las Vegas Shooting Rampage, more than 500 others Injured By The Washington Post

              I choose "The Las Vegas Shooting" At Least 59 killed in Las Vegas shooting rampage, more than 500 others injured" https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/10/02/police-shut-down-part-of-las-vegas-strip-due-to-shooting/?utm_term=.08c9ef751610  by Lynh Bul, Matt Zapotsky, Devlin Barrett and Mark Berman. The authors subjective discussion to this topic is that this has been the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history. Stephan Paddock killed 59 people and injured 500 others. He did it all by himself he had no help from anyone. According to the writers all his guns were legal he bought them within a period of years. He did not buy them all in one state it was all in different location. The people whom he bought them from said he never acted suspicious of any kind. When Stephan started shooting he did not warn anyone he just started shooting like crazy. As soon as he started shooting he started killing people while others were trying to run full of blood they had no where to hide it was just a field of land The hotel where he stayed they said he did not seem suspicious of anything. He stayed there for several days And had brought 10 suitcases with him to the hotel but yet they still thought it was normal.The authors discussions good points was them explaining very well what occurred days and years before. One good point the authors had was, "Gun purchase records indicate Paddock legally bought more than two dozen firearms across a period of years according to the person close to the investigation." "Paddock purchased some of his weapons there, but employees followed all procedures required by law, and Paddock never gave any indication or reason to believe he was unstable or unfit at any time." They had proof that he had been collecting guns over a certain period of times but its weird how he chose that day to use his guns. I do not think the authors missed any information everything a person needed or wanted to know about what happened that day is in the article. Where I most saw there subjective opinion is "Investigators believe at least one of the guns functioned as if it were fully automatic, and they are now trying to determine if he modified it or other weapons to be capable of spitting out a high volume of fire just by holding down the trigger." They are trying to figure out how the gun working by was automatically working by itself but for all they know he bought it like that. I agree with them on that because not a lot of people have guns that shoot by themselves none stop. I usually see that in movies.

                           A Portrait of My Life in Words        Hello my name is Rachel Rodriguez. I moved to College Station two years ago. I was a junior in High School when I moved. My oldest brother angel has been taking care of me since then. I graduated from College Station High School in May.        I was born and raised in Mission Texas. I am into boxing. I have four brothers and I was growing up they were all in boxing. My uncle had a boxing gym and he was their coach. My brothers would fight in tournaments and I would always go with them to watch them fight. As they grew older they got tired of going to the gym. So my dad came of with the idea of making a boxing gym at home. We lived in the middle of the city so there was a lot of people that would pass through my house. We also had an acre of land so it was pretty big. Soon after a month or two the boxing ring was...

Fall semester at Blinn

           My Blinn Fall semester of 2017 was great it was everything I thought it was going to be. The things that went well is that most of my instructors were pretty nice I also had friends to show me around and get to know Blinn.   What didn’t go well is that I dropped a class because I was too stressed I had two jobs and full time at blinn! I succeeded in my math class because I love math its just so easy for me I also loved that I had so much free time I have to be in one class for so long. I failed in my art history class. That was the class I dropped. You might think how could she drop that class if art is easy? Well not for me I hate it and I strongly dislike history too so once you put those two together it’s a disaster. I know I could have probably done better and actually tried and passed but I didn’t so that didn’t go so well. I loved that most of my teachers they were pretty lineant with homework. Sometimes having to ma...

     One of my favorite artists is Kirko Bangz. I love almost all his music, I can connect to it emotionally  of it all his music connects to people emotionally everything he says in my eyes is real.              For example   Kirko Bangz Ft. Paul Wall - My Life  e   "   [Official Music Video] "       When he says " Im superman to the young man"  it uses a metaphor. He doesn't really mean he's superman it means the young man looks up too him.     Another artist I relate to is "  Nipsey Hussle - State of Mind ft. Y2 "    When he says " two loose lips will sink a ship or break a levi like new orleans"  it uses a simile by comparing the two sentences. So basically what he means is the if you go out telling your business or talking about other people it will come back to you with so many bad things. " Break a levi like new orlean...
