Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity James Alan ? James Alan Fox  the Lipman Family Professor of Criminology   Law and Public Policy at Northeastern  said that despite the mediaâs sensational coverage of school shootings  they are not common.
 Fox  added that more kids are killed per year from "pool drownings or bicycle accidents."
 Fox  said that while making policy changes on guns could possibly lower school shootings  it is highly unlikely that they will stop them from happening  as the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history was committed using handguns.
âThe thing to remember is that these are extremely rare events  and no matter what you can come up with to prevent it  the shooter will have a workaround â  Fox  said. âThere is not an epidemic of school shootings.â

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John Kerry ? GENEVA (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump risks driving Iran towards nuclear proliferation and worsening a standoff with North Korea if Washington ends a nuclear deal with Tehran  former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said late on Thursday.
“If you want to negotiate with (North Korean leader) Kim Jong Un  and your goal is to avoid war and try to be able to have a diplomatic resolution  the worst thing you can do is first threaten to destroy his country in the United Nations ”  Kerry  said.
 He  was speaking in a private lecture delivered at Geneva’s Graduate Institute.
“And secondly  screw around with the deal that has already been made because the message is  don’t make a deal with the United States  they won’t keep their word ”  he  said.
The nuclear deal places Iran under tough restraints  including inspections  round-the-clock surveillance and tracking every ounce of uranium produced   Kerry  said. “We would notice an uptick in their enrichment  like that ”  he  said  snapping  his  fingers.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hailey Owens ? Although Craig Wood has pleaded not guilty to charges including first-degree murder  his attorney  Patrick Berrigan  agreed with the basic facts outlined by Greene County Prosecutor Dan Patterson in opening statements at Wood's trial  The Springfield News-Leader reported. But Berrigan argued that Wood â who faces the death penalty if he's convicted â acted impulsively when he snatched Hailey Owens in broad daylight and in front of witnesses.
Carlos Edwards testified that he was raking leaves on the day of the abduction and saw a pickup truck drive past his home several times. Edwards said  Hailey  was standing in his driveway when the driver pulled up next to the fourth-grader and asked  her  how to get to a street.  The girl  said  she  didn't know and started walking away  Edwards recalled  and then the driver said: "Hey  come here for a minute."
Edwards said that as soon as  she  got close enough  the driver opened his door  grabbed  Hailey  and drove off. Edwards said he took off running but a drainage ditch at the edge of his yard stopped him from getting to the truck.
Patterson said during his opening statements that when Wood parked his truck and got out  officers approached  and Wood tossed a roll of duct tape in the back of his truck. Officers found  Hailey 's body wrapped in plastic in a plastic bin in the basement. Patterson said  she  was shot in the back of  her  head from close range.
