As US President Joe Biden lamented on Tuesday evening: “Why are we willing to live with this carnage?”At least 18 children and one teacher were shot dead in cold blood at an elementary school in south Texas. An 18-year-old gunman walked onto the site and opened fire after reportedly killing his grandmother at their home.
President Joe Biden speaks about the mass shooting at Robb Elementary alongside First Lady Jill Biden“Why do we keep letting this happen?” Biden asked. “Where in God’s name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with and stand up to the lobbyists?” According to district officials, the school has just under 600 students, catering from years 2 to 4. That’s about 600 children aged between 7 and 9, who likely crouched behind their desks, whispering in hushed tones as they tried to avoid an active shooter, not to mention parents who sent their sons and daughters off to class not realising they would never see them again.
Now facing a hostile Senate almost 10 years later, the most the president can do is repeat his calls for Congress to pass laws expanding background checks and assault weapons, or merely tweak around the edges with executive orders.
Farrah FarrahTomazin America has so many mentally disturbed people walking with guns. I grieve those kids who didn’t even know what hit them before they fell silent forever. Rest in Peace little angels. Your only mistake was that you were born in a Sick Country that didn’t deserve u. ॐ शान्ति
