Kori Ali Muhammad was the victim of a deadly shooting on April 19. He is 39 years old and African American. He said he killed the 3 white men because he hates white people. While doing the shooting he was chanting "God is great" in Arabic. These men did not provoke the shooter they were just randomly chosen off of race. He even posted that he hated all whites on his Facebook page.
When someone targets a certain group of people such as blacks, whites, or latinos in a crime like this its classified as a hate crime. Hate crimes mean more jail time for who ever convicted of them. It is still trying to be decided if this should be changed as a hate crime.
I feel that this event was a clear act of a hate crime and that he should be charged with it. Kori posted about hating any white people then went and shot 3 white males. If you ask me thats no coincidence, Kori defiantly went into this shooting with that mindset as well, making this a hate crime.

This article is by Dana Bash and Joshua Berlinger is about the United States and the very unsteady relationship we currently have with North Korea. In a recent interview by Dana Bash with Vice President Pence, Pence spoke about how there was very likely to be no direct contact whatsoever between the United States and North Korea. The big problem with the North Korea is there dangerous Nuclear weapons that they keep trying out. Trump said he would be willing to speak with Kim (North Koreas dictator) but that this was unlikely to happen.
This article is directly related to our class discussions because of the President and his power as commander in chief of the armed forces. The way that North Korea is currently testing out there weapons is a big sign of caution and a reasonable reason to send troops in.
I feel that Trump should continue to wait and not send troops into North Korea because they have been an enemy and threat for a long time and it really hasn't gotten much worse as of late. Also if something like this were to happen and Trump sent troops in unnecessarily it would make the USA look really bad. I think this issue should try to be worked out verbally before these forces are used.
