Realization

So far in global the topic that has really stood out to me was our whole study on police brutality and crimes based with killings because of someone being another race. Today I was looking in the news and there was an article that said "Boy, 16, Killed in Apparent Drive-By Shooting Near Hayward" and it really shook me not just because of the age, but because to think about how people do things like that and put others in deathly or harmful situations that they have no control of. Its also eye opening to really think about how when people do stupid things like this they already are doing it with the purpose to get away and live the rest of their life with knowing that they killed someone or seriously ruined someones life/their families life. The reason that I was comparing this to what I have learned in global is because now when I see things like this I wonder what if that person just thought a little more about it before actually firing a gun towards a group of killing and ending a teenagers life.
