Short Answer:
Read the entire story about Larry McQuillians shooting rampage downtown on Page A1 - "Hate drives gunman..."
1. Does this kind of situation make you nervous? Why?
This is a very nerve-racking situation. Who knows when someone might attack or what's wrong with them? Who knows what is behind these sort of acts and who these people are? The thought that extremists like McQuillians could attack any moment is very frightening.
2. If he had survived, what kind of punishment should he have had?
For firing at the police quarters he would most likely be put in court which could lead to jail. If he had a mental illness or disorder then I believe he should definitely have the chance to not be proven the punishment of jail. If he had something like that going on inside him, sometimes people just can't help it.
3. What should society be doing to help stop this kind of activity?
Keep your eyes open, take precaution, and report strange behavior. I do not believe in violence what so ever so I'm not suggesting that at all. But there needs to be caution on every path people take. Everyone is different and there are so many beliefs, minds, and hearts out there- you never what any one could do.
4. Do people have the right to believe as they want, but as long as they don't act on it, it is okay?
People have the right to believe in what they want. I encourage people to act on their beliefs as long as it won't harm others or themselves. Again- violence is a no in my book. I try to keep peace however I can, especially in my beliefs. Acting out and rebelling peacefully in your beliefs is really great- people need to do that, it's healthy. But if it involves violence or harmful behavior then it needs to be stopped.
5. Should the state and federal government be involved in trying to keep this kind of thing from happening again?
Yes
5A. If you said yes to question 5 - what do you think some of the problems might be if they are involved?
I don't like the thought of government having even more power over us, but this I do think would be good. Protection is evident for safety and the well-being of a community. But there are many activists and extremists who are against the government. They will most likely protest or cause attacks to get their point over. See- anything could happen and you never know what's going on in someone's head. Either Yes or No, there will be problems that come along with the decision. But whenever there is an option of safety and caution, I agree with it.
5B. If you said no to question 5 - why do you think they shouldn't be involved and who should be in control of trying to stop these kinds of activities?
