London Terrorist Attack

Today there was a terrorist attack in London. Four people were killed and many injured. The man ran a car into a crowd before attempting to run into the Houses of Parliament. The police think it was an Islamist influenced terrorist attack. He also fatally stabbed an officer that was a 15 year veteran. He was then shot dead after. People said it was the biggest terrorist attack since 2005. It was said that it was definitely no accident.

This relates to what is going on in class because we are talking about government power and how they act on certain things and this is what the UK is doing as well. All of us are in a state of shock and all the governments and officials need to act fast on it because we will never know what will happen next. Our government needs to keep their eye on everything and make sure we can prevent things like this happening to our country. This all comes back to government spying or anything where the government is involved more. We need to decide if the idea of the government being in our lives would be a good or bad thing. Our safety is most important but our real question is should the government go in to the extents of tapping in our phones or is that too much?

I feel that this should be a wake up call for everyone around the world. Anybody at anytime could do anything unexpected and harm others like what has happened today. We need to figure out how to prevent this from happening to us because we shouldn't have to feel unsafe or threatened in any way in public places. But it all comes back to the government and if we should maybe have them more involved in our lives or not. Any way to prevent terrorism is always a good thing but is it necessary to have them become involved enough in our lives to prevent it? I feel that the government should be able to prevent terrorist attacks but we should figure out another way for them to do that instead of them tapping in our phones or getting access to other personal stuff.
