I am at a total loss on this one. Why? Why shoot innocent people? In an airport at that? I just don't understand what is going on in the world. For those of you who don't know what I am speaking of, I am talking about the shooting that took place this afternoon in Fort Lauderdale Airport. It happened in the baggage claim area. Which means, his baggage was checked. Before I start firing off questions, let me give you a run-down on the events. Suspect : Esteban Santiago Age : 26 Bio : Santiago served in the U.S. military, first in the Puerto Rico Army National Guard in 2007, according to the Department of Defense. He was deployed to Iraq in April 2010 as a combat engineer and returned to the U.S. in early 2011. In November 2014, after moving to Alaska, he joined the Alaska National Guard.

A new billboard phrase has been popping up in various places in the U.S. A sign that most likely will impact or upset terrorist or aspiring terrorists. There were reports of this same exact sign first being posted in Chicago, now it is reports of this billboard along a Phoenix Highway. "So it's kind of good to separate the two and be like, 'Hey ISIS, you suck--from, actual Muslims,' because what ISIS pursues and what ISIS stands for is actually not in our religion at all," said Fara Arefi, a community member of the Muslims community.  The group hopes to put more billboards up like this around the U.S to show American that they are not on the same agenda as terrorists. Do you think this is a great message and will help the tension between Muslim-Americans and the rest of the U.S when dealing with each other and the stereotypes? I hope so. Everyone deserves a fair chance. America is a great land, whether we all believe it or see it. The billboard was br...

It's very unfortunate that this tragedy had to happen for people to see that #gaylivesmatter. Just a few years ago, people were banning gay marriages, then a few weeks ago, the big debate over the use of public bathrooms being used by both genders, and we can't forge the disgust a lot had for Bruce Jenner, now all of a sudden, a tragedy occurs and everyone is on a band wagon once again. No offense to any one in particular, but this whole epidemic is beginning to be too much. My heart goes out to the victims of the shooting as well as their family. No one deserves to be gunned down in the manner they were for simply enjoying a night out. I love analyzing individuals based off of behavior. So I put together a quick facts checklist to understand why this happened? There is no valid reasoning behind the attack that left 49 dead and over 50 injured during the Orlando Nightclub Shooting that happened on Saturday night. But it had to be "something" behind the madness to ac...
