Simple "Party Crashing" Turned Deadly . .

On Sunday, November 07, 2010 : A former Fayetteville State University football player [ Alexander Green* ) was shot to death by an unidentified male wearing a mask who initially crashed the party Green was having then shot him to death. In addition to the death of Green, another women was shot and had been bleeding from her leg. The party immediantly ended with many young teens hysterically flooding the driveway. How do you think these random acts of violence affect the community ? 9 out of 10 times the gunmans weapon was illegal ; why are guns so easy of access these days ? What do you think should be done about the violence they cause ?

  1. It can probably contribute to hysteria in the community if an anonymous person is committing random acts of violence. Guns are so easy to access these days because people everywhere own them for protection. Then you have theives also, that steal those guns. I don't think there really is anything you can do. All you can do is find the person that does the violence.

  3. How do you think these random acts of violence affect the community ?

    I think it makes people less trusting towards the people in their community. It also makes the tension levels higher everytime people get together for a meeting or another party because you never know who is going to show up and what they are going to do.

    9 out of 10 times the gunmans weapon was illegal ; why are guns so easy of access these days ?

    The legal way is that you have to go and get a license to use a gun, then you have to be of age to even buy a gun, and you also have to have some training. Most people do not want to go through this process that could take a long time so they get with their "people" who has the hook up and get what they need. Usually, nowadays, if someone has to get a job done, then they will find a way to get it done.

    What do you think should be done about the violence they cause?

    I think that the police need to be tighter. Also, if you plan to host a party and you want to stay away from things like this, you have to make sure you have security. If not, then tragedies like this is more than likely to happen.

  4. There is nothing honestly, that can be done at the moment to stop all the counterfeit weapons being sold "under the radar" because of all the other major things in the country going on it would be difficult to have extra police forces trying to find all of the sellers of these weapons. If someone were to legally buy a weapon, it would take at least two weeks to have confirmation on their LICENSE that is required in order to fully buy and own a weapon. Most of the weapons that kill inoccent people today are illegally bought.

  5. These random acts but fear in the community and make them more aware of their surroundings. There really isn't anything we can do about this violence but try to find the person that did it.

  6. Actually, I don't think that guns should be banned. Just because people use them illegally doesn't mean that still do not have their good uses. And either way that is exactley what people would do, USE THEM ILLEGALLY. But these type of acts in the community start to worry citizens. Everyone starts to become suspicious, and depending on the people things can get worse; or for other types of communities they can establish something to help, like the neighborhood watch. Ummm, what can be done with the violence they cause ??? The violence they cause... can be shown as examples for others I'm thinking. And worn community members or teens that might want to throw a raving house party what to watchout for.

  7. These random acts of violence affect our community because it now causes the community to be known as "dangerous". Acts of violence result in terrified neighbors within the community. Guns are absolutly too easy to access these days. The reason why is people aren't pondring about how the choices they make will soon affect the very community that they live in. Owners of gun stores easily loan or give guns to family memebers or to a good friend that they know, without utilizing the legal procedure. Another way how people access guns easily is getting a gun from someone who went through the legal procedure. I truly believe that the violence that is being caused needs to be handled. And it should be hanlded by giving them a severe punishment.

  8. Guns these days are very easy to get your hands on because the people who are legally getting guns buy them and re-sell them. No one can really do anything about the gun violence because its just like drugs. People find ways to do busniess if its killing someone they'll do it. Guns and drugs are the perfect combination for distruction.

  9. I think the police is really busy already. They only have about 10 people on shift for 12 hours, for deputies anyway. My mom is a deputy, and they get called out on stupid calls all the time. They are always busy. I do however agree with the security. The deputies have things called 'specials' that they go to when they're off shift and can then get paid more, one example is local sports games, like hockey at the Crown Coliseum. They could make it a special to do security for parties to help make sure that every one attending stays safe.

  10. @ Stanesha , I disgree with what you are saying because when people think that they are not able to do anything that's when things get worse. When the culprit can know that your not going to do anything thats just going to push them on. Like what we learned in US History, if you don't disciplne them it's just going to make them want to push to that limit. Neighborhood watch would definitely be an option and even just to have self-defense classes, or policemen at a party is what we would need to do if we have to protect our community.

  11. This random act of violence might feed to acts of paranoia and anxiety in the community, and may cause a steady decrease in the population. Guns are easy to access because people abuse their 2nd amendment right to bear arms; instead they use this amendment as an easy grip to committ rebellious crimes, which more than likely end in fatalities or severe injuries. I honestly don't think these acts of violence can really be stopped, I mean what can we, as a nation, do to stop such vicious criminals from harming our people, when our government can't even agree on vital security issues.

  12. This act of violence, may have policeman to stay on duty. A party should be under control to a certain extent. Guns as of today are really easy because of need of protection.As of today many teens carry guns because of popularity amoung their peers.I think the teens should be punished for the violence that have caused.

    I absolutely agree with you. I don't think there really is a way to stop people from hurting others. Even if you take away guns, there are always other means of harming people; there are still knives, there are still razors, there is still mace, and tazors, and so many other things that can hurt people.

  15. @ princess, I agree with what you are saying, but also instead of just the person illegally buying the guns being punished, the person selling them should also be punished. Even if the people buying guns are going around killing people, how much better is someone who is selling them under-the-counter? If this person is coming to you illegally trying to buy a gun, obviously...they're up to no good. Unless that's what you meant already.

  16. @ Super Hero Freak : Okay, I get what you're saying. But how do you think that affects the community? Or better yet how do you think these viloent acts would affect your community/living environment?

  17. @Mz. Tweeti: Teens in the streets carry guns because of there backgrouds either they are in gangs or they have trouble with other peoople. At the end they still fall into peer pressure

  18. I think that random acts of violence make the people in the community scared to live in the community. It's so easy to get a gun these days because people just let whoever buy one and dont look at the facts or their id or they steal it.

  19. @ Dericia & RayRay, I agree with you two. There will always be things around us people could use as weaopns to hurt others, it is a scary thought but one we must be aware of.

  20. @Chanelle : I agree whole-heartedly The man who soldthe gun is actually more responsilbe than the man who shot with the gun because if he would of never sold the gun the shooting couldn't have happened!

  21. There are many ways this can affect our community. You could have a person who has a gun and the only reason they have it, is to bring harm to many different people. Why do people think this way? They dont think about the families, the teen belonged to or anything! Randomly, killing anyone will change the next person's approach to different things. It could help them because now they are more alert and will be more aware to their surroundings. But then there can be a negative approach, some people may want to stay in thier houses because they are afraid of what stands on the other side of the door. This hurts our community and that is why, the security should step up more even when they are not on the clock.

  23. @ Chanelle is the Best, I definetely disagree with you. Whenever a suspect is oblivious to the fact that you are constantly on watch for them, they start to make stupid mistakes or committ even more crimes. Also, I don't know anyone who is willing to throw a party and let it be chaperoned by police officers, even if it is for safety reasons !

  24. Random act of violence make sertain community become more protective like setting a cerfew,or having coded gates. guns are so easier to access because people say they need it to protect them from other situlation, so their become a greater need for guns which make them more easy to access.I think that they should banned guns because of all the death cause by guns and casue of all the bad thing that people can do with a gun.

  25. @Dericia: I agree, the nation has a lot of problems that they can't figure out how to handle. There's always going to be criminals taking advantage of that amendment as long as they are making it easy for them to get the weapons. They should have to go through a more drawn out process to get a gun.

  26. Random acts of violence effect the community by ruinig the reputation that the community has in the city. The world is all about money,so it's easy to get a gun because people are willing to sell them to anyone to get that fast buck. I believe that the violence with guns can not be stopped. When soceity stops one gunnman, 10 more are willing to take their place.

  28. @ Earth Science
    I disagree. The places that sell guns DEFINITELY look at I.D's. They have to, otherwise you would see us 15-16 year-olds with guns. The teens our age do not get them from real places. They get them from other people. People selling guns illegally.

  29. @Earth science. I would have to disagree with you when you say it is so easy to buy a weapon these days because I have been there when my Dad, and three of our friends bought guns and the process takes days sometimes weeks, but I do realize that the weapons people are stealing and stuff is something we can't really control.

  32. mz. Tweeti I dont agree with your statement. I really dont think people just carry around guns and shoot people just because their in a gang or because of peer pressure some poeple just go around with a gun to have fun or be stupid with their friends because they have nothing else better to do and their idiots. people just dont go around with guns because their in a gang or under peer presure

  33. @Stanesha Evans I agree with you, we can really stop violence no matter how many policemen are on or off the clock. Violence occur all the time, and its really hard to actually bring down the person. Some people plan it so well, that they will never be found and continue to hurt people. I really wish people would get their minds right and get their act together!

  34. @Ktearthscience- I disagree with where you say they should ban all guns because some people that use them for good can be put in danger than. For instance, what if your house is getting broken in to and you no longer have that gun to protect your family and belongings because guns have been banned. Your family may get hurt or your things stolen.

  35. @ RayRay, you know exactly what I mean their are no means of security for small communities, its just how it is !!

  36. Okay , I believe that guns shouldn't be so easy to access in the first place. Anything that's used to intentionally harm another human being should not be accessible to just anybody. You can obvioulsy tell by the story that this shooting was planned, because he killed the OWNER of the home while there was a party going on that the "masked gunman" wasn't invited to. Yes, I think that does wound the community and aches their brains and hearts with wonder and questions like: "What if he comes back?", "Is this neighborhood as safe as it used to be?", "Am I safe?!". People have to realize that a gun doesn't make you any 'harder' or headstrong than you are without one only weaker ; you must also realize that just because you own a gun, doesn't mean you have to right to take someone's life no matter how frivilous or severe the reason.

  37. I think that's horrible! Personally, I think we should have stricter gun control laws so that tragedies like this never happen. Not everyone has the best intention when they buy a gun. Many people collect guns or they buy one for self-protection purposes. I don't mind those two reasons, but when people like the man who shot Alexander Green bought a gun mostly bought it for hurting others as opposed to protecting himself. Guns will always exist even if we outlaw them, so it will be unrealistic for guns to be totally out of a society. But, if we have stricter gun laws, we can possibly limit the amount of crazy people with one.
