8-Day Blog Post: Cycle 6 2015 Airport Machete Rampage

On CNN, a video shows a man in the TSA lines at an airport pull a machete from his waistband and proceed to swing it at nearby civilians. The man was shot three times and died the next day in the hospital, but the horrors of the situation still haunt people a year later. The situation raises questions about gun control, weaponry, and mental illness. The man was said to have a mental illness, which makes officials question why this man wasn't cared for and if we should vamp up our mental health facilities. The government has yet to take a stand on this issue, but it's clear that airports need more security tactics and we should improve our mental health facilities.
