This video made me worried about my safety. This combined with the alert for Americans in Europe to look out for terrorist attacks make me down right worried. I have little faith with government security. There were hints that 9/11 was going to happen but the government ignored them. Look what happened. The government has made many enemies over the years and I’m afraid of who might hate us and wish us harm.

I’m surprised he only got 20 years. If a person is convicted of murder of one person they can get life but a terrorist only gets 20 years. How does that make any sense? It’s a great thing that the police were on the ball this time and caught him before anything bad could happen. However, the court system is failing, in my opinion, because there sentencing, in comparison to others, makes no sense.

My first thoughts are, how are you going try to blow up a building full of people, make comments about terrorism on the internet and try to apologize. This person is really stupid.I fell at ease because they caught him and now he is in jail. I do have confidence in our government because they do stop most of the terrorist actions in our country.

This video made me feel good that we caught a terrorist before they struck. Also, I see that they want another date to celebrate and I believe that they will plan another evil attack. The government, I think, is good at watching for mistakes. The muslims are good at hiding and would love to kill as many of us as possible. For our government to keep us as secure as possible, we need a spy or someone to find out information that they talk about one-on-one.

This video made me feel more in danger. It made me feel like this because I know that there are more people in this world that want to kill Americans. I do have confidence in the government. They had the means to stop this attack and we knew nothing about it. I’m sure they can stop another one if necessary.

Watching this video really shows that other nations do not like the United States wanting to cause harm to large cities. This video showed that the government has terror plots under control because they were the ones who gave him fake explosives. The security requirements now are so high I believe that the government is ready for anything to happen. Being in the U.S. is now more safe to live in now and videos like this show why.

Terrorists really scare me to death. Honestly anyone who wants to do harm to innocent people whom have never done anything to them is sick in the head. The thought of terrorists in the nation makes me feel more in danger. This is because we never know what they are capable of or what they are planning to do. At some points I feel that our nation’s security is not strong enough but, at other times I feel that they are very good at catching the so called “bad guy”. This is because there is so many things going on in this world and within our nation that they can not catch every little thing that can happen.

We hear about terror plots so much that it doesn't surprise me anymore. This video didn't make me feel more at ease or more in danger simply because someone is always plotting terrorists attacks at one time or another. I do have confidence in the government regarding our national security because they've been doing good so far and nothing has really happened since 9/11.

I was surprised to hear about another terrorist plots again. This video puts me at ease to know that our government has things like this under control. I feel much safer watching this video to live in this country. For the agents to fool him into thinking he was going to successfully commit a terrorist attack and then arrest him for failing to do so is awesome. The Dallas incident definitely strengths my thoughts towards our governments ability being able to handle our national security.

My thoughts were that this person is crazy. This video made me feel more in danger because someone else could also do the same thing in virginia. Yes, i do have confidence in rthe government regarding our national security because the government tries to every thing possible to protect the citizens of the united states of america.

I was shocked at first when I watched this video. This video made me feel more secure. After 911 our country experienced a shock. This video showed that we responded positively to it and made things different. Thought the world people, in this case terrorist, are trying to harm the USA. This video shows that we are ready and how much we have changed.

Sam said...

I’m glad that they caught the guy. It makes me feel more confident that the government was successful in catching this guy. When everyone could be a terrorist or someone wanting to harm people, it’s good to know that the government can find them. Everyone caught is proof that whatever plan the government has in catching other people like this is working pretty well. That goes a long way in making people feel better about what the government is doing.

Kristen said...

This person is ridiculous, why would you choose to hit Dallas? I mean you could kill a lot of people but you are not hitting an icon like the previous attack. I feel more at ease watching this because the police and FBI knew about the plot the whole time and intercepted it. I have plenty of confidence in national security. Our government knows what is going on all the time even if they choose not to tell us anything.

Unknown said...

I thought terrorist was over with. This video makes me feel more in danger. I wounder how many more people are their that are still planning to attack. I have confidence in the govenment regarding our national sercurity. The national becomes stronger each time and tries to prevent from anything to happen again.

Mary said...

I had not heard about this,my thoughts are along the lines of at least they caught it before he did some damage. It can't really affect me, if someone tries something, there isn't anything you can do about it. Of course if something happens I know I will be scared but what can you do, constantly being afraid won't make your life anything but more complicated and stressed. I think our government's national security is doing what they can, but we won't ever be absolutely safe.

zac said...

That he was crazy. It made me feel at ease. It made me feel at ease because he was arrested. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. They try to their best but sometimes it is not enough.

Unknown said...

I thought it was weird. I am happy they caught the guy. I think there is danger everywhere with this but I don't think this will happen here in Windsor. I feel like we are not in danger. I do have confidence. They know what there are doing and are not taking any risks.

Brandon said...

This doesn't really bother me. No matter who you are there is always someone who is going to hate you. With America being the most powerful country in the world eventually we are going to strike back. So sure terrorist attack us now but one day we will get them back. All I have to say is there is no need to worry at this moment

Unknown said...

American citizens that want to become terrorists need better things to do. The video itself is funny because they gave him fake explosives. Good job federal agents. I'm confident that our government will continue to keep us safe.

Unknown said...

That stuff is scary; it's crazy how they enjoy the thought of doing that to us. I am glad that they caught him; it puts me a little at ease. Our government has gotten better at our national security since the attacks on September 11th. It still makes me nervous to go on flights, which was not a comforting video to watch since ill be on a plane next Monday. It would just be nice for them to stop there practices and wanting harm/murder of us Americans.

Maurica said...

It's clear that people dislike Americans more than I think. This video makes me feel more in danger because people are out there right now planning to attack our country. I'm glad that guy was caught, but that doesn't mean the next will get caught before something bad happens. All I can do is pray that something like that doesn't happen. Just because we are in a free country, that doesn't mean it is free from terrorist attacks.

I'm glad I live in Virginia and that he lives in Texas. I felt more at ease when I heard they caught him. I have confidence in our national security. I don't like the fact he only got twenty years.

Peyton said...

At first, I was freaked out because it felt like another 9/11 situation. I don't understand why these terrorists want to kill all of these innocent people. I felt in the middle; sort of at ease and in danger. I'm so glad that they stopped this man but I'm still afraid that something else is going to happen. I think I have confidence in the government; they seem to know how to protect us from some dangers.

Our national security is not very good. I believe that the terrorist should have received the death penalty. The man who tried to kill thousands of Americans will be free in 24 years. Anybody who tries to kill innocent Americans deserves to be killed. I hope that the terrorist dies painfully in jail.

Unknown said...

The world is not safe anymore. I feel more in danger, because he will get out eventually or someone else can finish the job for him.I have no confidence in our government regarding national security at all. If it was up to me I wouldn't even live in the United States. They need to get their things under control cause the stuff that happens in the USA should not be happening.

When I watched this video I felt hurt. I don’t understand why someone would come into another country just to kill a large amount of people. This video made me feel like the government needs to put in more work. They only gave the dude 20 years. They should have given him more, in my opinion. If we stand together we will most definitely make a change!

Unknown said...

I thought that this video was kind of crazy. I'm glad that there was a man who was pretending to work with him in the bombing situation. I can't say that I do have confidence in the government and I can't say I don't. I say that because if our government was that protective then what happen on 9/11 wouldn't had happened. Other than that I do think that our government is getting better overall.

I wondered why any person would want to kill other people in such a horrific way. How could anyone hate say the things this man said?How he could want to hear a bomb go off that could have killed so many people. Also I wondered how he could not feel any guilt in wanting to kill so many people. This video made me want to dig a bomb shelter,that's what it did. It made me wonder if I will ever be safe from terrorists. I have confidence in the government,but I am unsure of how safe I truly am even here. I say this because this country has lost so many people already to terrorism. How can I not fear that I may be the next to be lost to the useless cause of terrorism? The answer to that is I can't. 9 11 to me is not just a day for remembering the lost to me. That day I lost one of my cousin's in that second plane. So that day to me is a horrific day to have to live through.
