It was a horrible morning, and left a scar that will not go away for quite some time, if ever, in the lives of people surviving and family members. Unfortunately (in a way), in the US, we have rules that say the murderer's civil rights, rights to privacy, and right to do as he pleases up to the very instant of pulling the trigger the first time override the obvious need to take action against his historic demonstration of violence, and his clearly apparent choices to do harm to other people. While this was the first time he murdered anyone, as far as anyone knows, it was not the first time he acted violently toward other people. In other words, nowadays, we are required by law to look the other way until it gets really bad. Then we blame ourselves for having "caused him to be that way."
I don't see it like that, but the ones in authority at all levels certainly seem to. A damaged piece of fruit should quickly be separated from the rest in the bag, so it doesn't cause more to be ruined.
How to monitor that? Can't. No action is allowed when it comes to people in the US these days. So we will have more events like this, mark my words.
Quote:Don't blame the car - the Jag isn't to blame!Right. The car is just a machine. It can be used for good or evil, transportation or running down a group of pedestrians. So don't blame the gun, either. Same reason.
