#child sacrifice
Once again, American children and at least two adults have been murdered en masse by a deranged individual with access to firearms. This comes ten years after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, in which around twenty children were murdered, along with several adults.
Those of us who live abroad look at America with absolute disbelief, unable to understand how such outrages can keep happening again and again. Ten years after Sandy Hook, and we’re now having to read yet more biographies of children whose lives were stolen. And I bet it won’t be long before we read that the murderer had shown signs of violence before, but such signs were ignored until it was too late.
Clearly, American politicians and the gun lobby must bear responsibility for sacrificing children to murderers for financial gain. Their claims about defending America’s Constitution are nonsensical, since the Second Amendment has been a qualifiedright for some time.
Individuals with a criminal record are supposed to be barred from accessing weapons, background checks are supposed to be performed, as are mental health checks. Stop and search is used in areas with high assault and homicide rates, thereby depriving people of firearms that could be used to murder others.
Yet the one fundamental right these apologists will not defend is the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.Respect for human life is utterly nonexistent, which is why we keep reading about such atrocities time after time after time. Get ready for the apologists to blame the children for not having bulletproof backpacks, not carrying out gun drills, or blame the teachers for not carrying semi-automatics.
Each and every murder is a national and an international disgrace. It demonstrates that America not only has a gun problem, but a crime problem, which the police have evidently failed to overcome. The constant spate of murders in inner-city neighbours continues, ending the lives of many children. Nothing is done to deter the criminals.
Enough is enough. I hope that good people in America who are fed up with this wholesale slaughter of the next generation will demand immediate accountability for this and many other outrages.
