Today at 8 a.m. Mr. Heinze, a resident in Glynn County, called 911. In this call he reported coming into his home finding his family dead. The victims ranged from teens to the elderly. The local police have no suspects yet, they are holding Mr. Heinze in captivity with charges of possession of a controlled substance and lying to police officers.
While reading this article from CNN.com, i realized something. The interview with the officer leading this case, Mr. Doering, had an interesting statement in it.
"We just simply don't have a lot to go on," Doering said. "I'm not going to tell people not to be cautious. Until we know exactly what happened and who did it, that's not going to change."
It seems that the world has become accustom to these types of crimes. Parents are having to warn their kids about dangerous strangers and other potential threats. These safety measure were not always necessary. Kids used to be able to run free without worry. Families used to be able to have a movie night and order pizza without having to look through a peep hole to make sure it really was the pizza man. Our civilization seems to be spiraling downward with more and more obscene acts.
What can we do to try and reverse these effects? How can we, as college students, make a difference in these violent times?
