The shooting that happened on January 8th, 2011 was a tragedy. It's a shame that this shooting was a result of politics and should've never happened. I think that it gives our government and politics in general a bad name. Many people were put in much pain that night. Whether someone got shot, wounded, or a family member was affected by the shooting; a lot of people were affected that day. I agree that this has not only affected us in the United States, but also people around the world. It gives politics a bad name, and that situation should have never happened. The guy that shot all those people that night was said to be unstable, and that may have had something to do with what happened.
Also, I believe that the incident that involved Governor LePage was also an embarrasment to our society and our government. The words that were said should have never been said, especially by a member of our government. He represents us as whole, and for him to say that gave a bad name to us all. Considering that the remark was taken as a racial remark, that adds even more embarrasment. Our country has gone through way too much racial issues as is, and this remark certainly did not help in any way. Governor LePage should appologize for his actions and words, for it was hurtful to many.
