Back in 2007, The Virgina Tech shooting killed almost forty people as well as injuring about twenty. Surely, every one of the individuals injured were mentally affected; the brutal events took a toll on their lives. At this second I am fishing through blogs on Huffingtonpost.com and have come across an article written by a guy named Colin Goddard. Colin is indeed one of the injured students that survived the VT shooting, just imagine his gratitude.
Colin produced a documentary and in the article Paul Helmke explains how brutal and unfortunate the events are in the film but too how inspiring the film turns out to be. Helmke describes the film as '' chilling evidence of the immediate need to close the gun show loopholes." Going on to mention that in the film " the poised young man's dedication and enthusiasm is inspiring.'' From reading the article, I concluded that Paul appreciated Goddard's stress on gun shows and there carelessness more than anything. How gun shows will permit a fire arm in return for the right amount of compensation disregarding the requirement of background checks or simple I.D.
Sure, I love Paul Helmkes' critique and in my opinion he has great reason and evidence for his statements and argument. Yes, as a reader I totally believed his case and he persuaded me to accumulate stronger feelings and a more stable approach on the VT shooting. I must say, Helmkes passion and consideration for society's well being was evident and he couldn't of used a more relevant topic. Kudos.
