Questions:

What if this was happening around you? How would you react?

Would you move if the problem became more serious? Or would you stay and stick it out?

Answers:

I would be really concerned if this was happening around the area that I lived and ecpecially if I was right where it has been happening lately. I would definaly consider moving just because I would be concerned for my safety and wouldn't want to take the risk of it happening again.

  • Great job overall! All but one of your comments were done on March 22. Comment three different days.

  • 1. I would be scared and terrified of why a bomb just blew up and with me knowing about the bombs in the past and around us I would be scared about where the next bomb is.

    2. I wouldn't move but I feel as though I would be very cautious when dealing with this stuff and if I notice something suspicious then I would report it and stay far as I can from it 

    • Yes I agree with you that I would also be scared and terrified if a bomb were to blow up around me and I would also wonder where the next one was going to take place. I guess I wouldn't move either but I definilty would go to a hotel or and apartment or a family friend near by until it was safe.

  • I would be scared and realize how dangerous our world could be. I don't think I could go anywhere without being afriad of something that could happen again. I would also get as far away from the incidents' location. 

    • Yeah I agree I would aslo be really scared and yes our would can be very dangerous. Really anymore in our would nothing is really safe and you can't always live in fear because thats really no way to live. I would aslo probably try to get out of where I was because I think I would be safer if I moved.

  • I would be really worried if somehting like this was  happening all around me, I would probably be scared that this might become a reoccuring thing. I would probably consider moving because I wouldn't want to live in fear all the time. 

    • I also agree with you that I would be really worried too of something like this happening all the time around me and it is becoming a reoccuring thing. I would also concider moving just like you would because I also would not want to live in fear of an explosion going off around me or my family.

  • 1. Well if it was a hate crime I wouldn't really be too worried for my own safty for obvious reasons(Im whiter than mayonase), however a bomb doesn't discriminate his enemies. So I would sit up in my room with the window open with my .222 calibre high powered and wait for this guy to pop out in the open to plant another bomb in the nieghborhood and then pop him with a 360 no scope off of the top of my house.

    2. Yea, I'd move to my grandmas she makes good food.

    • I agree with you that I probably wouldn't be as worried because of the color of my skin but it might be a hate crime and it might not be police don't know for sure and it could really happen to anyone in the surrounding area. I would concider moving also probaly to my uncles because he lives in Texas.

  • I would feel extremely usafe and either up and move or leave for awhile until this was resolved. Yes, it would be worth moving if it was a matter of life or death. In the end you don't know if you could be the next victim of this crime. It's best to avoid it altogether.
