"Immigrants in Our Own Land" - Lockdown Necessary?

Inspired from "Immigrants in Our Own Land" to refer to the response the lockdown crisis hype.

Righetti is pretty much a piece of me. I spent four years of my life going to school there. I spent my time and effort focusing on enhancing my education and now I'm hearing, seeing, and feeling the hate that surrounds the community around RHS. Its pretty sad to say that this is my senior year and I have to deal with kids (and oh, do I emphasize kids) waste other students and potential learners from going on through their day normally. I just wonder what goes on with these kids' minds when it comes to respect, dignity, discipline, formality, and the coming of adulthood. I've had a hard time getting the best ideal college bound, dream school attributes there are and to think of the troubled ones barely passing to graduate high school. That's why I think of myself close to an optimistic immigrant.

In "Immigrants in Our Own Land," high school is just about everything to everyone who wants to move on in life as a post secondary school, but now the idea means nothing to ignorant kids. I must bring up news that the first lockdown Righetti had this year, there was a school shooting in Washington. And now, the second lockdown happened to be on the same day as the school shooting in Florida State University. One FSU student was actually shot at the back almost point blank by the shooter, but one thing that surprised him was that he didn't feel anything. His backpack was shot and inside carried a pierced book and a bullet. The moral of this story is that things that carry your life actually save you from dying of ignorance and literal sense. Education by learning is the book and this book saved this student's life.

For the police tirade, police protocol must be followed by officers and luckily that one underclassmen wasn't shot for resisting arrest. We see the compilation of police brutality lately, but this isn't the case. The girl or girls in the viral video happened to attack the officer, which resulted in 6 arrests. It was overkill to send in every officer and department in the area, but really, its all for safety precautions for all the bad news that has been going on.
