The shooter then pretended to bend down like other people at the scene. There were seventeen people murdered and seventeen injured at the scene. The suspect, Nikolas Cruz, was arrested at Coral Springs an hour later after the incident (Lombardi, 2018). It was at a time when parkland residents were demanding measures for gun control in the area. Additionally, it was recorded as the worst high school mass killing through rifle after the Columbine High School massacre that happened in 1999. When Cruz was presented to a grand jury and charged with the case, he was first placed in an isolation cell to watch his suicidal moves. However, when Cruz’s history was followed up, he had developmental disabilities, which made him dislike people. At school, he was reported as threatening other students that he would harm them.  Nikolas Cruz acquired the rifle legally by buying from a Coral Springs gun store. He had previously undergone mental health assessment, and it was clear that he had low chances of harming himself and others. When he was aligned to court, he admitted his actions and refused to go ‘no guilty’ stage. Cruz attacked a jail officer while in jail on November 18 when he was asked to stop dragging his shoes while walking in the jail’s dayroom. He was charged with a bail of two hundred thousand dollars. The court was failing to take into consideration his mental health to determine his state. Prior examination on Nikolas Cruz did not show clear results of him being mentally ill. However, most of his behaviors indicated mental health instability. He talked much about guns and posted threats on social media concerning gun violence. He was also found in possession of many dangerous weapons. References Lombardi, D. (2018).

Coaches and medical experts have known for a while that the severe hits that football players take on the field can lead to concussions, blackouts, and even permanent damage. More recently, however, there has been increasing concern that the effects of repeated hits to the head may not manifest themselves until decades later. Early studies suggest that former National Football League (NFL) players suffer high rates of memory and other cognitive problems years after retiring and that they also may develop these problems earlier than non-football players do. Do you think that football playing should be stopped? Should the rules of the game be changed to eliminate hard-hitting? Is the risk of permanent cognitive disability different than the risk of permanent physical disability? Wrestlers, soccer players, boxers, and other types of athletes are also at risk for long-term brain damage. Should these sports be changed or banned? How did the information in this unit influence your opinions?   The second half of your Discussion Board assignment will be your responsibility to another PSY 1010 classmate in Unit II. Be sure to include the name of the person or question to which you are replying in the subject line. For example, “Tom’s response to Susan’s comment.”  ***Be sure to proof your responses before posting to eliminate misspellings and typos. Please also use punctuation and capitalize where necessary. Ex- “I” is always capitalized. Proofing your work will ensure that your message is clear and understood by your reader, a necessity in communication. Points will be deducted if these guidelines are not followed. ALSO PLEASE REPLY TO ANOTHER STUDENTS COMMENT BELOW  Autumn: I agree, some of the rules you’re stating, I had no clue of. Those are reasonable and completely understandable. I didn’t know of players dying on the field due to head injuries. That’s quite scary and puts a different perspective onto things. Also, the Nascar fact about tailored helmets is very interesting. I figured they were all just made the same and could just be customized as in looks. As I stated in my response to the original post, I do believe it shouldn’t be banned, most of these people have worked all their lives to get to where they are and they know what is at stake.  For more information on Cognitive Disability read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disabilities_affecting_intellectual_abilities
