Dual-wield

A man was shot and killed outside of a Scientology church in Hollywood. He approached three guards after getting out of his red convertible. One of the guards shot and killed him. The twist is that the man was wielding two samurai swords. Investigation is underway to see if the killing was justified. Surveillance footage shows the man exiting his car and walking up to the guards, he was shot when he got within striking distance. It was put into question whether the man was part of the Celebrity Centre Scientology church, and it turns out that he used to be a member a long while back. The deputy police chief judged by the video surveillance that the guards were protecting themselves, and that is why they shot and killed the man.

This story caught my eye because of how crazy it sounded at first, and then after reading it, I still felt that it was pretty crazy. It seems like violence is getting more and more far fetched by the day. I just read another blog about some police men the tasered a man at a funeral off of, charlie's current event blog, http://charliesevents.blogspot.com/. What's happening with violence today?! I'm not sure if I'm only hearing the ridiculous stories, or if America is just going insane. I also want to talk about the Celebrity Centre Scientology church. It seems like we are putting to much power in the hands of the celebrities. It doesn't seem like they really deserve their own center. I think that the money that probably went into building this complex should have gone to build a community center in a ghetto or something to that effect. America needs to take the emphasis off of celebrities, so that they don't feel so self righteous, and feel that they can do anything they want.
