Man shoots at woman’s house, because of a bad review

                On August 20th, 2018 in Orlando, Florida, Norman Auvil, shot at a woman’s house. He supposedly shot at, Monica Walley’s house after she had written a bad review about his friends’ restaurant.  The owner’s son, Michael Johnson, had seemed to be upset over the review Walley had posted, so the men took matters into their own hands and found Walley’s address. Auvil shot 3 times before driving away. “I actually could feel the air from the bullet as it passed me,” said Walley’s father, Ken Walley, who was there when the incident took place. Auvil is now charged with “shooting into a dwelling and abuse of disabled adult.” As weird as it may sound this is actually a serious problem. Guns are a serious problem and we need to have more restriction on them, so we can prevent things like this from happening.
            Monica Walley had written the review the same night her house was shot at. Her reviewed shared how The Daybreak Diner would not let her mother dine in because she was disabled, and nobody was there to accompany her. “It was my mother’s birthday,” Walley says, “She arrived back home in tears.” The restaurant had told her mom that if she wanted food, she could order and wait in her vehicle. After the review was posted the owner, Lizabeth Johnson, said she had received many angry phone calls and were harassing her restaurant.

    I think you're right, that part of the bigger issue touches on current gun laws, but I also wonder if there is a deeper root to the problem. If this guy DIDN'T have access to a gun, would he have left it alone or "taken it into his hands" in a different way?

    I also wonder things like: How is this incidence symptomatic of the way we live? Where there mental health issues involved--if so, how did that compound the problem? If the dispute had any legitimacy to it, why couldn't it be worked out through civil discourse. Hm.

    Make sure to cite the quotations.

    I like this response and I think you chose a very interesting one to read. If i saw the article you picked I would have wanted to read it too. One thing that caught my eye was the use of "serious problem" twice so close to each other, and that could be fixed with a different word choice. However, I really liked your response!

    I think you choose a very interesting article to respond to! I would have liked to see a little more about what you thought on the matter, but I may have not realized I was reading your opinion at some point. Also, the sentence "he supposedly shot at, Monica Walley's house after she had written a bad review about his friends' restaurant," has an unnecessary comma after 'at' and the 'supposedly' also seems unnecessary unless they are unsure of whether he actually shot at her house or not. I also feel that you should either elaborate on or remove the part about calls to Lizabeth Johnson because it seems very brief and off topic. However, the article is really well written!

Synthesis and Reflection

Media Law A new concept for me would be learning what libel and slander was. I always knew slander as "gossiping" and never imagined it as an actual thing people have to look out for. I have already noticed changes in what I'm hearing and figuring out what's slander and what's not. For example Dec. 4, 2018 a rumor went around the school that we were going to have to make a non snow day up. Well later I found out somebody had just made that up and was spreading fake news . I didn't think of it as gossiping anymore, I thought of slander. Libel was different, I always thought of libel as "fake news" and figured they were the same thing. Now I'm aware that a lot of things can be fake news not just written things. Libel is a little more tricky to find because you actually have to search for it. Unlike slander where you could say, "We have a full day of school on Friday," and many people would believe you. I now have to be cautious with th...
