Commenting on inaction


There's not much we can say about events in Texas yesterday that hasn't already been said! Clearly (to most of the world at least) what's needed is action, but as usual that doesn't seem to be any closer than after the many previous instances of such blatant infanticide. All we can do is observe and comment and for those virtue signaling celebrities and politicians out there, I'm making the rational assumption that sending thoughts and prayers are the equivalent of doing the absolute minimum, i.e. nothing..

Here are a few comments I thought particularly note worthy regarding this latest atrocity.
  • In news today we see that American seem to love the lack of sensible gun laws more than their school children.
  • March 2020 (a month of pandemic lockdown) was the first March since 2002 without a school shooting in the USA.
  • Everyone would agree that it takes a monster to walk into a school and shoot young children, but to watch monsters kill children again and again while doing nothing to prevent it is either pure evil or plain insanity.
  • In 2001 a guy tried to blow up a plane with a bomb in his shoe. Security changed the very next day for every flight around the world. There have been 27 school shootings in the U.S. so far in 2022 and nothing has been done.
