Did you know that George Washington was very close to death during the Revolutionary War. British sniper Patrick Ferguson had a chance to shoot him, but chose not to. He had one rule for sniping: He couldn’t shoot an enemy who was not aware of his presence. Sniping is different now, isn’t it? One night in September of 1777 the British went to ambush the American officers. Ferguson remembered his rule and did what a smart sniper would do and make his presence known to the officers. The officers trotted away on their horses. That was when Ferguson had the most clear shot. General Washington’s back was turned, Ferguson didn’t shoot. The rest is history. This example of mercy was when Patrick Ferguson could have killed many other people, this

In the short story “The Sniper” by Liam O’Flaherty, the author’s message about strategy is that if you have a better strategy than your opponent, you are more likely to be more successful than your opponent. In the story, the main character is a sniper that has to kill people from the opposing side. He gets into a showdown with an opposing sniper and ends up getting shot in the arm. Due to this he cannot use his rifle, he must now be very strategic in order to kill the other sniper and survive. The main character would not have survived if he did not have better strategy than his opponents because, “She was pointing to the roof where the sniper lay (2).” The women made it very clear and obvious

When people think of World War II they normally think about people fighting through forests or big bombs being dropped. Many people forget about the snipers that waited for hours and hours in freezing cold temperatures to get that perfect shot. They had to do all of their fighting alone. There was no one covering their back, if someone spotted them they were done for. Some snipers contributed huge amounts of kills like Simo Hayha, with 524 confirmed kills (Hiskey). To be a sniper you have to be one hundred percent controlled in extremely intense situations. The Soviet Union had many female snipers. They had to deal with all of the troubles of sniping on top of being a woman in the army. Many snipers were not just sniping, they had to pick up

“Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.” President John Fitzgerald Kennedy said to the United Nations General Assembly, on September 25th, 1961. This quote is saying that the killing of soldiers in war will soon destroy all. This relates to both stories because both soldiers regretted killing someone. In O’Flaherty’s “The Sniper” and Hardy’s “The Man He Killed” both works use plot, irony, and theme to portray the idea that war causes you to kill those you care or may have cared about.

Liam O’Flaherty’ “The Sniper,” Is about a republican sniper determined to defend himself in case of any harm. This sniper lives in an Irish Capital called Dublin, where he lays on the rooftop of his own home with a sniper at hand shooting others like a target with no mercy. This takes place in the Irish Civil War led to the disunity of Irish society.

The heavily armed sniper who gunned down police officers in downtown Dallas, leaving five of them dead, specifically set out to kill as many white officers as he could, officials said Friday. He was a military veteran who had served in Afghanistan, and he kept an arsenal in his home that included bomb-making materials.

On August 9, 2014, eighteen-year-old Michael Brown was shot by Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. The shooting caused protests and has drawn the world’s attention because Michael Brown was an unarmed black man while Darren Wilson is a white police officer. People believe Michael Brown’s shooting involves a racial tension between blacks and whites since Brown was unarmed and surrendered. In Ferguson, the majority of people are African Americans, and the majority of police officers are white. On the night of the shooting incident, Brown was walking home and confronted by Wilson because Wilson thought Brown was suspicious. There was a struggle between Brown and Wilson. According to Brown’s friend, Wilson started the fight. Wilson was violent toward Brown and shot Brown several times even though Brown had already surrendered and put up his hands in the air. People who are on Brown’s side claim that a white police officer abused his power, and a sign of race discrimination among police officers.

Edward Buckley here reporting live from Boston where a massacre has just outbroke. British troops were sent in to maintain order of the colonist. The colonist didn't seem to be too happy about that. Large groups of angry colonist came together and began taunting the British soldiers. Along with the taunting, the colonist began throwing snowballs and showing hostile actions towards the British soldiers. This caught the attention of Captain Thomas Preston and his squad of soldiers. There actions after approaching the scene was unbearable to witness and will forever be know throughout history.

“Racial profiling punishes innocent individuals for the past actions of those who look and sound like them…” - Benjamin Todd Jealous. Is it okay how in today 's society many innocent people are stopped by the police because of their race? Is it okay how many innocent people are often killed or injured because of their race? It’s not okay for people of color to be targeted by authorities because they “look suspicious”. The fact that this is an actual real world problem going on right now is disgusting. There are many reasons to why racial profiling is wrong. It doesn’t work, it causes death and injuries to innocent people, and it’s just humiliating and offensive to the people. Many people everyday are affected by racial profiling. Even though

According to the 2010 US Census, the United States of America has a population of over 308 million people. Whilst only 1.1 million officers are employed on a full-time basis from the 2008 Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies. Therefore statistically only one officer is able to protect and serve for every 280 people in the United States of America. With the numbers in police falling short it is extremely difficult to create peace within the country. The numbers in the police are falling short in order to successfully create peace within the country. As a result, many police officers feel they have to abuse their power and go to extremes to stop criminals. One of the biggest problems with police brutality is the disgusting racist police culture and how they treat minorities such as blacks and Hispanics. On the third of March, 1991, a black man named Rodney King was involved in a high-speed car chase with officers from the Los Angeles Police Department. The officers were successful with pulling King over. However, what happens next are unfortunate events that still occur today in the United States. The shocking footage filmed by George Holliday, a bystander shows King

In All Quiet on the Western Front, the main character Paul faced a challenging decision in which he decided to take the life of an enemy soldier while stuck in a trench. After the chaotic bombardment that occured he quickly realized that “[He] did not want to kill [him]...[he] was only an idea to [him] before...But now for the first time, [he] see[s] [he] is a man like [him]” (Remarque 223). The immoral action of killing

Police practicing public execution is a clear infringement upon the constitutional rights which is why I have chosen this article. The title of this article “police brutality may be overwhelmingly legal but it 's far from being ethical or just”. I have chosen this article not only with its connection to Dr. Martian Luther King Jr. but it is a growing epidemic in today 's society. While it is legal for an officer to use force to “protect and serve” the right to take ones life is not ethical.

During a home invasion defense, it is necessary for you and your family to be protected because usually home invasions turn out to be murder cases like the home invasion case turned cold of Cheshire, Connecticut were a family of four were robbed and murdered. Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her two daughters were raped and murdered, while her husband, Dr. William Petit, was injured. Joshua Komisarjevsky and Steven Hayes were the perpetrators of the crime and were found guilty of their crime and sentenced to death but due to that Connecticut abolished the death penalty, they were sentence to life in prison.

A major objection to my argument is that there are times in which lethal force in indeed necessary, and that non-lethal alternatives would be less effective. First of all in my argument I am assuming that future events are not factors to consider if they are unreasonable to expect. For instance, one could imagine a scenario in which an enemy soldier is disarmed and detained by a robot rather than being killed. Should this combatant later in life, after being captured most likely as a POW, decide that his capture was unacceptable, and proceeds to strap a bomb on his body to blow up a market. It is unreasonable to expect the would be suicide bomber to be killed by the robot instead of detained due to his future incalculable actions. One of
