Random Acts of violence


 Random instances occur everyday especially when  it pertains to violence in America. One place many hope to get peace from stressful situations comes in the form of religion. Sunday at an mass in Albuquerque,New Mexico members of the church were surprised to find no such peace in services when a man stabbed four choir members, http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/29/us/new-mexico-church-attack/index.html?hpt=us_c2. The members of the church were shocked when the man just rose to his feet yelling,"Fake preacher" before jumping several pews and stabbing the choir members.No one really knows what caused the stabbings and the church has identified him as a non-member.Rumors have circulate that the suspect believed the choir was working with the devil and  was a motive for stabbing the choir members. The atmosphere these members are use to when attending mass has been disrupted by a random act of violence.The man was not a member of the church neither did he know the people he attacked. The most surprising thing about the attack is that the suspect yelled fake preacher but went for the choir members. Why take out your frustration on people whom have no quarrel with you then attack those whom haven't harmed nor provoked you.The amount of random acts of violence have been growing at an alarming rate through the country.The hardest thing to grasp is how does one go about stopping instances like this? What is considered safe anymore in America?When social norms and areas of comfort are attacked it's hard to return to previous quality of living. While no one knows the motive for attacking these choir members random acts of violence may be the worst deterrents to peace today.
