In "Empire of Death and the Plague of Civic Violence," Darrel Y. Hamamoto discusses the relationship of government, government officials and violence. The paper uses severl examples of previous or still existing military personal being responsible of committing crimes. Other examples include crimes being committed in response to certain events happening in history such as with Native Americans and the Vietnam war. The times around the Vietnam war saw an increase in crimes committed against the Asian Community.
It is really sad when you hear of crimes such as these because they can be prevented. Some of these stores that were discussed in this article such as people sniping people in town or the one about rape didn't have to happen. If someone is depressed or not in a normal state of mind, not only should they go to the doctor or psychiatrist for help but if their family of friends see them in this way, they two should take them to the doctor. When crimes such as these occur, there isn't much to discuss except learning how to prevent them as I said above.
My picture is of Uncle Sam. This iconic figure was used to help resemble our country and for recruitment in the military. I also think this picture should be used for post war soldiers to go to their doctors to prevent any sort of post stress crime to occur. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Q: How many crimes occurring where if people saw something suspicious and didn't report it, it could have been prevented?
