Amos Patton: The Man Accused in the Millington Naval Base Shooting

The shooting took place on Thursday, October 24, at 12:47 pm, at the Army National Recruiting Center on Attu Street in Millington, Tennessee. The accused, Patton, had reportedly just been released of his duties, after a complaint was filed against him, by a woman whom he had been seeing, had decided to break things off, and Patton wasn't too fond of her decision, thus resulting in the complaint being filed, and evidently resulting in Patton being fired.

" The complaint filed in US District Court this morning said Patton was asked to come to the Tennessee Army National Guard Recruiting Center Thursday and was “notified that he was being relieved of duty, recommended for reduction in rank and recommended for separation from the active guard reserve because of misconduct.” Courtesy of WREG 3 News

 The shooting at the naval base left the residents of Millington shaken; making them question whether they  should feel safe in the own neighborhood. Lots question how he could've possibly regain access back to the naval base after being relinquished of his duties.

I believe this entire situation could have been avoided but review said complaint with both parties present, but then again reports have surfaced with Patton having been in trouble previously, so maybe the action of releasing him may have been the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak.

Education: Priceless or Purposeless

Education: (noun) the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.
To put in lament terms, education is used to improve the knowledge of what you may already know. Some may value their education, while others may consider it to be a waste. My mother, father, and every other adult my life is trying to convince me that an education is vital in order for me to succeed, but I've seen several success stories from people who lack education, but then again I'm not that anyone just says "Forget Education" but I'm just trying to get my point across of my spin on education.
I value my education but  not as much as others do today. Some people believe that just because you finish high school and get a college education makes you a better person than someone else; it does not [necessarily] mean that you are going to be any better than a person who has as much as a third grade education.
Education has purpose, but that purpose is being blown way out proportion. People are making a big deal out education, making it seem as if that having an education will make or break your life but in all actually, having an education is to better you, and it suppose to be up to you whether you want to or not.
