Halloween is one of the most traditional
festivals in the United States where people
dress up and go to the streets to enjoy a good time. The costumed children go
to the houses of the neighborhood asking for candy and sweets, some people go
to parties to have fun with friends, but not everything always ends well. On
Friday night October 31st, three girls were ran over and killed by a speeding
car in a residential area in Southern California. This accident was one that happened in this Halloween.
According to the article by Faith Karimi and Todd Leopold, CNN, the Halloween
is one of the most dangerous nights, due to the large number of people in the
streets and a lot of drunk drivers. Sometimes people act irresponsibly and do
not measure the consequences of his acts, causing serious damage to the
community. Usually people
ask for more oversight of the
police, but what should change are
the attitudes of some people. It is
easy to prevent accidents like that happen involving
drunk drivers, only depend on the
driver. If you consume
alcohol, take the route of public
transport, taxi or by foot. Many problems like
accidents, deaths, financial
losses, or problems with the
police are prevented just by changing a few simple
steps.The main advice here is for people to be more responsible and conscious of any disaster that may happen on this eventful holiday.
I read about this incident as well. What a horrible tragedy. As a child my friends and I wandered all over our neighborhoods going from house to house without a thought to safety. I cannot imagine allowing my own children that freedom today.
