San Bernadino Shootings Case Study
Title
FBI paid more than $1 million to break into the San Bernadino iPhone
Summary
After having an extended and acrimonious sparring with Apple, the FBI has paid an astonishing amount of more than $1 million to hack into the gunman’s iPhone used in the San Bernadino shooting. This ends a legal battle between the FBI and Apple but leaves the question of law enforcement access to information unresolved.

Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey has revealed that the FBI had to pay a whopping amount to a private agency for letting the former break into the iPhone used by the gunman in the San Bernadino shooting. When asked about the quantum of the amount, Comey alluded to a greater amount than what his remainder of the service

    In October 1997, I heard on the radio that Luke Woodham, a sixteenyear-old, had killed two classmates and wounded seven others in a school shooting in Pearl, Mississippi. In a note, Luke declared: “I am not insane. I am angry. I killed because people like me are mistreated every day.”1 He explained that he was tired of being called a “faggot”; he was additionally enraged that his girlfriend—whom he killed in the shooting—had broken up with him. At the start of the Woodham case, I began examining school shootings. Two months after the massacre in Mississippi came a shooting in Kentucky, then one in Arkansas that same month, and then another in Arkansas three months later in March 1998. There was a shooting in Pennsylvania that April, in Tennessee…

    Active Shooter Case Study

    With recent events such as the shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, there has been an increased focus on the role of EMS providers in an active shooter situation. Should EMS wait until the scene is deemed "safe" by law enforcement, or should providers be expected to enter a potentially dangerous scene where the shooter may still be active? It is an issue that has been debated on public forums all over the internet, with plenty of people of both sides of the argument. And while both sides of the argument have merits, I believe there is a solution that may allow victims of a shooting to receive quick and effective medical care without compromising the safety of those who provide it.…

    When it comes to violence, there is one type of violence I think is skyrocketing out of control in Chicago: Gun violence. As residents and I believe we all can agree that it is shame that for the past 5 years or so, gun violence has taken such a toll. Especially, if you were born and raised here. I remember growing when gun violence was not a huge concern.…

    Every time there is a tragic event such as a mass shooting, the idea of gun control becomes the number one topic of discussion. Many forms of gun control have been the result of a tragic event. The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, for example, is a result of the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan, which left James Brady with disabilities for the remainder of his life. Another example of post tragedy ideas for gun control came as the result of the attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. These would include expanding and strengthening the current background check system, as well as instituting federal laws against gun trafficking. Congresswoman Giffords would also like to receive federal funding to research the “Cause and Impact of Gun Violence”.…

    Fatal Police Shootings

    In 2017 alone, 880 people have been shot and killed by police. In 2017, as of November 20, there have been 21 more fatal police shootings than the previous year. This tells us that instead of trying to handle the situation in a civil manner, police officers are using excessive force and irrational actions to take care of things. This brutality has been a major point in national news over the past years, and for good reason. These 880 shootings if kept steady through December would add up to 979, 16 more shootings than last year. This is undeniable proof that instead of trying to resolve this issue, police are shrugging it off. It also shows how much more public attention this subject needs in order for a meaningful change. Instead of 2017 being…

    Since 1982, at least sixty-two mass shootings have occurred, thirty-two of them since 2006. (Aronsen). Jared Loughner was sentenced to life in prison after shooting nineteen people in January of 2011. Last July, fifty-eight people were shot and twelve killed while watching the new Batman movie in a theater in Colorado. In December, twenty-six people were murdered, including twenty first-graders, in a Connecticut elementary school (Follman). The issue of gun violence only becomes relevant after a horrific event such as these, then fades from public concern after about two weeks. The number of injuries and murders using guns in the United States is a large number, which can hopefully be lowered by implementing statewide, or even nationwide gun buyback programs, stricter carrying permit laws, and making it harder for the mentally unstable and convicted felons to legally obtain guns.…

    Mass shootings in the past year have been plentiful, with at least 3 mass shootings per week. To me this is just outrageous. I didn’t even know it was near that many mass shootings that I haven’t even heard of.Before the second day of October we have had 294 mass shootings, including the first day of October! These shootings have to stop and when they do happen I feel like everyone should know about this tragedy that keeps recurring in our country.Many shootings happen daily and only a few make it to the headlines or are major on social media.But all of these shootings need to be stopped or we need a new way for people to protect themselves at all times in case of a shooting.Last year there wasn’t even eight days that went by without a shooting…

    If you live in the United States, you are probably used to hearing about shootings happening somewhere in the country pretty frequently because of the poor gun control. The US is accountable for the most mass shootings in the world, but the government still decides to do nothing to help the situation at all. How many more children do parents need to bury, parents children have to say goodbye to, and role models do we have to lose before the government finally does something about it? The only answer to that question is, no one knows. The answer that so many around the country have been praying to have, and the answer that no one can give to them. The answer that, families of those that we have lost over the years and civilians that are scared…

    Gun Violence In America

    • 2402 Words
    • 10 Pages

    Since the inception of firearms, people have been wielding all types of arms and ammunitions against each other in order to injure or kill their opponent. In the modern world, this violence is unwarranted and goes against everything society stands for. Nowhere else is gun violence most prevalent than in the United States of America. Because of the Constitution, Americans have had the right to bear arms since 1776. When the Constitution was drafted, the term “arms” meant nothing more than a musket or perhaps small one-shot pistol. However, as arms and ammunition have evolved much like any other technology, their capacity to accurately kill humans has increased. So much so that one firearm can be used to kill many people…
