This article is about actor Christian Bale, the leading role of The Dark Knight Rises, visiting the memorial services of those who died in the movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado.
This act of humanity was to correct the acts of inhumanity that caused so much pain and grief. After such a tragic event, it was admirable for Bale to visit the area and pay respects. Bale sets a respectable example for all of us.

September 11th, 2001 at 8:45 AM. Terrorist hijacked an American Airlines Boeing 767 and crashed it into the World Trade Center in New York. The terrorist knew lives would be harmed in this process. They said they acted as revenge for American's support of Isreal, which was their enemy at the time. There was 19 terrorist in total. Close to 3,000 people died, and 10,000 were treated for injury.
Another crash was planned to happen in Washington, but the people in the plane had been informed of this, so the United States citizens tried to fight the terrorist. The plane was crashed into a nearby field and almost everyone in the plane was killed. But that was a humane act of everyone in the plane, risking their lives to protect a bunch of others that would've been killed if the terrorist act was to be successful.

We feel that this article is very interesting. When we hear about a shooting it disgusts us, because its very inhumane. Also it makes us wonder why someone would do such a grusum thing. Why would someone be so desperate to use a gun in an argument?
