PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Anti Julianne Moore ?

"I just realized suddenly that I was just being irresponsible "  she  said. "I was an irresponsible parent  and it wasn't doing anything by trying to keep the news from  her . It really bothered me. It really just stayed with me."
Following the October 1st Vegas shootings   Moore  said  she  and the other members of the creative council wanted to do something direct and meaningful to help prevent future incidents.
"I'm not saying I have an answer for anything  or that any of us has an answer "  she  said. "But we do know what things will reduce violence. So why aren't we implementing them?"

In the spring of 2016   Michael Beasley  returned to the United States after a season playing for the Shandong Golden Stars in the Chinese Basketball Association.
 He  was in Petros  Tenn. â âin the middle of nowhere â me  my wife  my kids  some animals. I had to drive 45 minutes away to a local high school to work out â  Beasley  said â and waiting for an NBA team to sign  him  for the final 6-7 weeks of the regular season.
 Beasley  had just been named international MVP of the Chinese league  averaging 31.9 points  13.4 rebounds  3.8 assists  two steals and 1.3 blocks.  He  worked hard that season ( his  second stint in China)  became a fan favorite and put  himself  in position for an NBA return.
But there wasnât much interest. âIt was heartbreaking â  he  said. âI thought in my mind after what I did in China I was going to come back to an NBA team.â
The Dallas Mavericks placed a cursory call. âThey just asked me how I felt â  Beasley  said. âI donât think it got far as interest. My perception precedes me. That phone call was just how I feel  what I think.â
In China   Beasley  came to terms with the fact that  his  NBA prospects had just about vanished. âI was like  âOh man  my NBA career could be over â â he said. âSo I stopped thinking about the NBA and started thinking about making myself a better player  a better person for my situation.
Two weeks after he returned from China  the Houston Rockets called. He knew interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff from their days with the Minnesota Timberwolves. âI wasnât thinking of Houston being a fit because of them being an analytics team â shooting three-pointers and layups â  Beasley  said. âMy whole game is mid-range. Houston wasnât on my radar at all.â

The Rockets signed him  and  Beasley  showed he can still play. Before the start of the 2016-17 season  the Milwaukee Bucks acquired him  and this past summer  the New York Knicks signed him.
âIf you love to do it  do it. Thatâs why I play basketball â  Beasley  said. âThatâs why being in China was so important. When the NBA was no longer a realistic dream  basketball kept me sane.
On Thursday   Beasley  had fans at Madison Square Garden on their feet and chanting âMVP  MVP.â In 25 minutes  he scored 32 points and collected 12 rebounds in the Knicksâ 102-93 victory against the Boston Celtics. It was his third game with 30 or more points this season.
During practices with the Bucks last season  the coaching staff didnât know who among Jabari Parker  Giannis Antetokounmpo and  Beasley  was the best scorer.
 Beasley  can still light it up. Scoring was never Beasleyâs issue. A commitment to the defensive end  maturity issues and off-the-court problems were  his  problems.
 He  has had numerous traffic  marijuana violations and a sexual assault accusation that never resulted in charges.
 He  hasnât made it easy on  himself   and  he  didnât always have it easy â as a talented teen and young NBA player  some close to  Beasley  viewed  him  as their financial aid.
