In the article on NewsEla, “Famous Speech…,” it states "So many signs that the Florida shooter was mentally disturbed" and that he was even expelled for bad behavior.” Also in a NewsEla article called “Issue Overview…,” it says “The week after the shooting, senators proposed half a dozen laws that would keep suspected terrorists from buying guns.” The difference between these two sentences in the different articles is that some people think that the person that decides to cause a school shooting is mentally disturbed. Other people may think that they are terrorist and they believe in the Muslims teachings of ISIS. These are two completely different things because the person that could be mentally disturbed could be just an average, teenage American that goes to school and does everything normal except the fact that he planning to do something that is beyond scary for others.

The author’s tone in this quote is violent and bitter.

Most of the suspects of mass shootings are young males who usually commit the crime on their own with careful planning of the event.
