Two cases of violence have shaken the country in a space of a few days, incidents that have put numerous families into mourning. Young lives have got lost in a brutal and meaningless way.
The first fact took place on Sunday, in the small city of Crandon, in Wisconsin, where a man – police officer for addition - apparently blocked up by the jealousy, used his rifle to end with the life of six students and university students before committing suicide.
On Wednesday, the tragedy ensaņķ in a school of Cleveland, in the state of Ohio. A pupil, for reasons that are beyond any understanding, took two revolvers and several dirks to the school place where he was studying. What it spent later is in the frame of the madness, since it shot repeatedly his classmates and teachers. Six of them turned out to be seriously injured men and the young protagonist of this situation also killed himself. |

We believe that it is not a question of an isolated fact. And although the groups that favor the use of the firearms should say the opposite, we insist that it is necessary to prohibit them sharply. How is it possible that on the following day of the latter tragedy there was discovered the whole arsenal of weapon taken by students to another center of studies? How can we qualify the fact that the proper parents of these adolescents have bought this weapon to give them to him?
It is already time to take urgent actions, before tragedies as on those that we comment repeat themselves in other educational centers. Initiatives like those of mayor Adrian Fenty, of prohibiting the use of the weapon in DC, should spread to the whole nation. The community should join in this intention. |
