ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Christopher Paul Hasson

Hi there! So, Christopher Paul Hasson is a man who was in the news because he was arrested for allegedly planning to hurt lots of people. He used to work for a part of the Coast Guard, which is like a group of people who work to keep the sea safe.

Sometimes people can get really angry or sad and they may want to hurt other people. This is really bad and wrong because it can hurt innocent people and make them really scared. The police heard about what Christopher wanted to do and they arrested him to stop him from hurting anyone.

It's important to remember that hurting people is never okay and if we or anyone we know is ever feeling really angry or sad, we should talk to someone adults we trust to help us feel better.
