"Washington Navy Yard opens just three days after massacre."

 
On Thursday, September 19, 2013, ABC News published an article titles "Washington Navy Yard opens just three days after massacre." This article explains how wokers were devastated to return to work just 3 days after the Washington Navy Guard shooting occured. We all should know about this shooting that occured on September 1, 2013 at the Washington Navy Guard, but for those who don't this is what happened. A 34-year-old, afican american man named Alexis gunned down 12 people before police killed him. He claimed to be unstable, as "he complained to police in Rhode Island that people were talking to him through the walls and ceilings of his hotel room and sending microwave vibrations into his body to deprive him of sleep." Today the workers at the Washington Navy Guard will be returning back to this place where this awful event took place. This aticle is important not only because it educates us on this event but it also explains how this man conisently was denied help by the govenment because he didn't meet its "needs". This man tried to tell the world that he wasn't mentally stable but they didn't see nothing wrong with him. We as citizens blame people like Alexis for his actions because we only see what the media brodcasts, but there's way more details to the story then what they show us, which is why you should read this aricle. This article gives us the full details on this tradedy as well as the facts and it's also educating us on a real life issue that occured within our country. These people that work here will be reminded every day of this tradgey so why shouldn't we take at least 10 minutes to pay our respects to not only the people that work here, but also their families. Reading this article is an excellent way to pay our respects!
