Although not one to make grandiose public outbursts about his opinions, Alric can be found later that day around the institute grounds (either up a tree or in a relatively quiet common area), with a notepad, sketching out comments on the day's news pieces--particularly expressing pleasant surprise at the bold stance announced by President Kelly regarding the Mutant Registration Act, and (somewhat cautious) optimism that it will pave the way toward a responsible approach to the fact of mutant citizens that unifies, rather than dividing, nations, communities, and families.

He's mostly working on refining the language of that cautious optimism, with a lot of crossing-out and rewriting for that purpose. What he's got are more like notes or talking points than an essay, though.

He also has some more general notes on the other issues--generally upbeat, where there's something to be upbeat about in the news. Regarding the bombing and shooting, his notes are roughest: reprehensible acts of violence, but underscoring that they represent human evils, not specifically mutant or non-mutant.
