Elle Holland Current Event #20

Mark Barnett, a 48-year-old from Florida,  Had a devious plan to make "easy money" quickly and destructively. Barnett had bet a large some of money against the stock in target and then allegedly  bought 10 explosive devices with which he placed in food-item boxes which he delivered to be placed in several target stores across the east coast. He had already had an extensive record and was caught and sentenced to 10 years in jail.

I am glad he got caught before anyone got hurt but i think he should be sentenced to longer jail time because his actions would have not only hurt but killed so many people. He attempted mass murder for money which just shows how greedy people are and he got dangerously close to succeeding.

  1. I am so relieved that he got caught before anyone got hurt. I don't know why he would do something so bad just to get money.

  2. It's crazy people will go to any length just to get more money. I'm happy this man was caught and put in jail.
