Richard Hogan: Why does the USA choose weapons over people’s lives?
Richard Hogan: There have been 27 school shootings so far this year in the USA and we are only half way through 2022.
Yet another mass shooting in an American school. The horror, watching parents outside the school desperately attempting to get in to save their children while armed forces pushed them back, are some of the most disturbing scenes I have ever witnessed on television.
The thought that the police force, designed to protect civilians, would physically restrain parents while their children were being slaughtered inside the school is incomprehensible and utterly disturbing. I can’t actually get my head around the fact that they would protect the perimeter of the school, while a deranged teenager was inside on a murderous rampage. Unfathomable.
