I agree with what Adam said by mentioning that after the shooting, the word citizenship has been tainted. Not only did the shooting have a negative effect on the U.S., but on the whole world. Erica made a good point in adding in that the shooter in Texas shot at the people he did, for no real reasons at all and was not linked to any types of terrorism. She also stated that our country is actually scary in the fact tat no matter who you are, you are in danger. There is no real solution to this except awareness.
Both Adam and Erica seemed to have the same opinions on what was said by Governor Paul LePage. They both believe that he did the right thing by declining to meet with the black prisoners. Adam said that Martin Luther King Jr. would never want one race to be singled out on his day of remembrance. Everyone should be treated equally, just like what he preached to people over and over again. The colored people that are in jail, are in prison for the same reasons that white people are imprisoned and they deserve no extra attention than any of the other people, even if it is Martin Luther King Day. Kristin, on the other hand, thought that what he said was actually an embarrassment to the people. She thought that his words were an hurtful to people and that he should have to apologize. In my own personal opinion, I would have to agree with both Adam and Erica because LePage did the right thing, even though he said it a bit harsh and it should've been reworded he did the right thing by not going to visit the prison.
