Mindy McCready


This article is about Mindy McCready's death on USA Today on how someone who have been suicidal should not own a gun. It is also about the opinions of Rob Eggleston, Bill Hart, Molly Jones, Greg Harvey on Mindy McCredy's death. The audience this article is trying to persuade are for those people who should realize that suicide is a very disturbed disease of depression and is very open to talk about in the public.  They also believed that suicide should become legal. Greg Harvey’s  opinion says that Mindy McCready’s death was caused by depression which lead to drugs and alcohol. Many people do have a struggling battle with drugs and alcohol.
It happens to the people you love, famous icons and family members.
Since Mindy McCready killed herself with a gun, people are using this suicide as a debate against gun control.  Rob Eggleston and Bill Hart both believed that her death should not be the highlights on gun control because she was battling depression for many years and had successful suicides. One of the writers opinion says that could have used pills to kill her instead of using a gun and people would have accepted that.  In my opinion, I do agree that people should not use this tragedy for banning guns or having gun control over. I believe that there are many other ways anybody could use to self-harm themselves and put them in danger. I believed that people who are looked upon and famous should be a stronger idol to those who lived in this civilization because people look up to you and if your showing that suicidal is okay then many people who are going through depression would fall also in that trap as well. It takes a lot of courage to show that you are battling depression but people should understand that it can become a disease if is not taken care of. Nobody would want to see a loved one suffer or anybody they know go through such terrifying pain.

Christopher Dorner


Christopher Dorner was an ex-cop and also been in the Navy. He was charged for making a false statement and a false complaint. Later, he was fired from being a LAPD cop. This article is worth reading because it tells you the background of what happened before Christopher became a wanted man. This man has already fatally killed the daughter of an ex- LAPD cop and also her fiance  Christopher Dorner also killed a cop and injured two other. This article tells you how the situation started and why he is seeking for revenge. It also tells you about his personal life, his family background, and his inspiration of wanting to become a cop. I believe this article is worth reading because it gives you more of a background on Christopher who used to be a part of the U.S navy and fighting for our country and someone who was well respected as being a cop. It’s also worth reading because it shows a situation that you worked hard for to earn is all lost because of situations Christopher put himself in and now seeking revenge and hunting for those who have gone against him. Christopher insanely said “When the truth comes out; the killing stops.” I believe Christopher is at the stage where he does not care about his consequences what so ever when he gets caught.
