Accidental L.A. Shooting

The way the story plays out in my eyes is that the child had an intention for the gun. Accidental or not; Guns are not aloud in schools. If it wasn't the two accedental shots fired, then it could have been 10 shots fired intentually. It's all about location. I mean; there are alot of reasons for a child to have a gun... but the first one that comes to everyones mind is that he has a purpose, while he was in school. The truth behind it is, there are alot of reasons why a child would have "Protection" with them. Walking back and forth to school myself as a young child, it was scary. I remember having a huge pocket knife with me at all times... in and out of school. That doesn't mean that I didn't have the common since not to pull it out in school. Like the parents, and children said; "There was alot of racial tension at the school". The child might have just been scared, confused, or just mental. No one really knows at this point.
If all of this wasnt bad enough, the students posted false blogs threw there handheld devices(iPods, Cell phones, ect...) If I was the kid I would probibly sue for slander. This is a poor mis-use of the internet. Everyone should get there facts straight before they dumb themselves in a position like that.

“Digital Identity”

I believe that this is a good Idea for President Obama to hand over the plan to create Americans a “Digital Identity”. Basicly more than 70% of Americans already have a cyber identity through social networks, gaming sites, member sites…ect. This would definitly strengthen the way that we control how people use the Internet. Preventing social pedophioes, and other forms of vertual harasment. What this blog is basicly telling me is that the way we have an I.D./Drivers License would change. Understanding the process is just the first step. I understand that some citizens may feel threatened by the government creating this vertual intenty; that they can basicly go to on command and find any information about a given person. But we must remember, most of what they are doing is for are saftey. I know it would frighten me if I knew that someone could hack into a network, and obtain every americans information; from date of birth… to someones social secerity number. To me, this could be good in some ways, but we must be aware that the system could crash. Being a hacker myself; I understand that any vertural intity can be broken into… given the right information.
