I always remembered hearing for the past 5 decades that “For the love of money is the root of all evil” which is also a popular verse mentioned in the King James bible and we are all well aware of its concept as it still remains true today, but I firmly believe that due to human advancement of high technology the sinful lust for “the love of money” has found a new crime partner to which is commonly known and very much used by the average person as the internet and present day video games, which have further pushed all the major functions of a modernized crimewave ranging from child pornography, stealing credit card and bank information to meddling into presidential elections.
On March 18, two people were seriously injured in Austin, Texas in front of their home by a unknown package that was activated by bomb attached to a “tripwire.” FBI and ATF firmly believed that this incident was related to three other similiar bombings that occurred earlier this week in the same city that already killed three people including a 17 year-old female. Law officials indicated that some of the mechanical parts to these type of bombs can be easily purchased on-line in the internet. I don’t know about you...folks...but it sounds to me that we may have a copycat of the infamous Unabomber on our hands only this time he or she is wearing a cowboy hat!
On December 11, 2017, Taxi driver, Akayed Ullah, intentionally detonated a homemade pipe bomb in a New York subway that was formed with mixture of X-mas lights, sugar and match-heads that he learned how to create on the internet because he wanted revenge for his Muslim Palestinians at the Gaza Strip in the middle east, luckily, the only person, who was hurt was himself.
On Friday, a 57-year old Miami man was sentenced to 7 years in a state penitentiary for assaulting a 17-year old with a metal pole over a Pokemon virtual video game and today this morning a 9-year old Mississippi boy shot his older sister to death with a handgun over an argument of a video game controller.
So what is going on here? Don’t we have enough worries around us to be concern what’s happening in our own livingroom? Even though the internet has been as equally beneficial for us don’t you think it’s time it should also be closely monitored as a dangerous weapon? But how can we accomplished this ? Maybe the Trump Administration can answer that question, but...oh yeah I forgot...they are too busy getting rid of Whitehouse staff members or trying to tackle the country’s epidemic with opiates...huh...ok...what..ever...well good-luck with that Donald duck...I mean...Mr. President!
