R.I.P. Scout26
While gun-related violence as a whole seems to be growing, it’s also difficult to ignore that the cries are becoming ever louder for stricter gun-control laws to be put into place.
Samuel Cook, better known by his professional name Sam Cooke...was signed to a five-year contract for American businessman Allen Klein. Unfortunately, he was never able to finish his contract as he was fatally shot on December 11, 1964, the victim of a reportedly gunshot wound that pierced his heart by Hacienda Hotel manager Bertha Franklin. Franklin claimed that Cooke entered into the manager’s office in a rage with only his shoe and a sports coat on, and violently grabbed her. After grappling with her, Franklin got her gun and fired, killing Cooke a month before his 34th birthday.
Besides bringing to rise the teen pop and dance-pop trends first started in the 70’s but continued during the 1980’s the 90’s saw the rise of the golden age of hip-hop. This was also the decade that saw more gun-related deaths in the industry than the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s combined. One of the most tragic deaths during this time, besides the events of Kurt Cobain, Selena, Tupac, and Notorious B.I.G., among others, was none other than troubled Plasmatics singer, songwriter, and actress Wendy O. Williams...Williams ultimately died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound a month and a half before turning 49. On April 6, 1998, she had left Swenson, a significant other, a package that included noodles he liked, several other items, and a living will. Before this, she had already tried committing suicide in 1993 by hammering a knife into her chest, and once again by drug overdose in 1997. During a memorial, Plasmatics co-members played a six-song set.
So Franklin defended herself? Why are they talking like it's a bad thing?Why is this Williams the most tragic of all the deaths? Who the hell is Williams? And why do they keep trying to bring suicide into the stats?
And why do these websites publish the barely-legible scrabblings of mentally-challenged four-year-olds?
Trying to diagram some of the [alleged] sentences...
It reads like a high school English paper. I give it a C.
I've seen college papers that were as bad, if not worse. (No, they weren't mine.)
I've seen, and written, better in high school, and seen worse in college.
If you're not writing more coherently than that in high school, I suspect you never will.
Especially now that nobody who is in a position to affect your grades or your paycheck cares ...
