Boulder shooting: 10 killed, including police officer, at Colorado supermarket

Ten people were killed in a shooting at a grocery store in Boulder, a city in Colorado. Boulder is a town located about 40 km from north-west of Denver. One of the killed people was a police officer  confirmed as Eric Talley, who had been with Boulder police since 2010. Witnesses described a very chaotic scene so authorities are still  in the early stages of the investigation.  A t the request of Boulder police  the FBI agents are helping in the investigation.  This attack was the seventh mass killing this year in the USA.  It was a very devastating information for me and it's so sad that still in XXI century things like this take place. I think that American government should debate on gun ban. Actually Joe Biden has already urged a gun reform, so that's a good news. Maybe a changed weapon law would limit  attacks and armed robberies.  Source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/22/boulder-colorado-active-shooter-supermark...

Mallorca is one of the most visited holiday destinations by the German and it's even called Germany’s 17th state.

But Mallorca's residents are worried that travelers will bring the virus back to the island, so there are many new rules and restrictions that tourists must obey during their holidays.  I think that the German should limit their travels  to as little as possible. I know that everyone (including me) miss traveling all around the world and travels are one of the few ways to get away from this bleak and sad reality. But during travel we can very easily get infected for example at the airport, in a hotel or during sightseeing. So the only way to stop the spread of the virus is just sitting at...

Toronto lockdown brings humans and raccoons together – neither's happy 08.03.21

Obraz
Raccoon attacks on residents in Toronto, Canada are up because of the lockdown. Over the last year, the Toronto public health unit has recorded a 62% increase in raccoon attacks. But experts say that it's not raccoons' fault, it's all because of humans' behavior. During the lockdown people are at home more and raccoons' sleeping schedules are disturbed because they sleep and live inside the house walls. Except of hearing some strange voices inside the walls people are also scared of an illness that stalks the raccoon population: canine distemper virus. In my opinion Torontonians should be of course careful, listen to government's warnings and not touch or feed raccoons. But I think that they shouldn't try to kill the raccoons or get rid of them because those animals have lived there since ages. It's just people didn't know about that because they were out all the time before the quarantine. It's raccoons' "natural habitat" and they ...
