Blame game in Texas shooting

Yes, the shooting in the Texas school was horrific and I don’t think there is one American who is not saddened by it. But I see the great American curse playing out — placing blame. This time it is on the cops. I firmly believe that the cops acted in the best manner that they did with the information available at the time. Hindsight may reveal that wasn’t necessarily the case, but we have to trust that the cops did the best they knew what to do at the time.

Let’s not fall into the great American trap. Let’s place the blame where it belongs — on the shooter and on the people in Congress who won’t let gun control happen.

If you didn’t like what happened in Texas, Sandy Hook, Parkland and Columbine, remember it well and do something about it in November.
