The search for blame in Texas...once more

Sickle, hammer, and Iron Cross strike in Texas  . . . "The murderer of schoolchildren in Texas understood that the Soviet sickle and hammer, on the one hand, and the Nazi Iron Cross, on the other hand, are symbols belonging to the same ideological direction.  We do not yet know how strong the ideological convictions of this murderer are.  But we know one thing: America does not want to endure the massacres of children anymore – as we do not want to see another gun-free zone filled with blood.

"Massacres in Israeli schools are non-existent nowadays, just like gun-free zones.  American schoolchildren deserve the same protection as their Israeli counterparts.  Being a small country, Israel armed whom it could to protect their children: their teachers.  In America, it makes no sense to arm the teachers for a variety of reasons.  We should allow our teachers to arm themselves, but it should not be a government policy.
"Paradoxically, in order not to turn our country into a police state, we need police officers in every school." . . .

Note to CNN and ladies of "The View": Do not - repeat not - claim this is a Christian symbol:

I can just picture it now. CNN's Don Lemon, are you listening?  TD 

The inevitable blaming of the culture instead of the shooter.

. . . As I write this, after the politicians in Texas had their say, the tired liturgy began anew.
You know how this goes. You’ve seen it before: anger, tribal chant and politics, those who want armed security at schools, those who say there are too many guns in America already.
We slide into our default positions. We think by hashtag.
The uglier our thoughts, the harsher they are, the better. People let their anger roll off their thumbs and onto the Twitter accounts. You can watch the number of your Twitter followers grow when you call people like me a “gun fetishist.” . . .
