Last weekend, another shooting happened at a place of worship in Pittsburgh.

11 people died, 6 were injured.

It seems that every week there is another tragedy in the United States.

President Trump recommends that there be security guards in front of all schools and places of worship.
Will this alleviate the problem?

Do you believe anti-semitism is still present today?
Explain.



P.S. It is pretty crazy that the man who did the shooting, pleaded NOT GUILTY!
