The Right to Know
June is a 23 year old newspaper reporter who reports on crime in Atlanta. On her way to work one day, she recognized several police officers hanging around her neighborhood. She had interviewed some of them before and figured that, because they weren't in uniform, they must be on an undercover operation. She called Karen, her source in the police department, who told her that a serial rapist had been striking in that neighborhood and there had already been five victims. Karen also told her that if she reported on the sting, the rapist could be tipped off and skip town. He might go to another city and attack more women.
June knows that if she reported the sting, no cop in the city would ever speak to her again. But she also knows that women in her community are in imminent danger and feels that someone has to warn them. What should June do?
I think that she should tell her friends and tell the women around her that she knows. I don't think that she should report the sting because it could only make things worse. If this guys finds out whats going on he will probably skip town and hurt people some where else. Its definitely a bad situation and something needs to be done. He needs to be stopped before more women get hurt.
ReplyDeleteIf I were June I would not report about the serial rapist in the paper. I would actually tell my friends and make sure that they tell their friends about this person and to be careful about where you go and when you go. I would make sure that they know that the police are working on the case and prefer that the story not go on the news or the paper or else could possibly skip town.
ReplyDeleteI think she should find him and kill hime and stop him or report him and tell people to be careful about things you do around town.
