On January 6, US time, a primary school in Newport News, Virginia, was in class. Suddenly a small class of classrooms came out. The 25 -year -old female teacher AbigailZWERNER) The shot in the chest, fell to the ground, was seriously injured. Fortunately, he finally escaped the Ghost Gate.The shot turned out to be a 6 -year -old boy in the class.
The cause of the shooting was unclear. According to reports, the police said that "quarrels" occurred in a first -year classroom in the school beforehand, causing someone to shoot.This shot must be fired by the boy.His pistol is his mother.In the United States, the shooting of shootings is common, but a small life can bring guns to school to murder, which has attracted some attention.
Last week, the continuation of this case revealed more internal conditions and stirred greater response.Dian Tuska, a female lawyer on behalf of the female teacher, held a press conference and revealed that within three hours before the incident, the school had been notified and warned three times in a row, saying that the boy might bring a pistol.The whole process can be said to be dazzling.
The first to report the situation to the school's safety supervisor is the injured female teacher.On the morning, she told the school that the boy had to beat another boy in the classroom.But the school is indifferent.At the lunch break, another female teacher who suspected that the boy with a gun searched the boy's schoolbag, but found no guns, so she notified the same school administrative staff. She suspected that the boy was hiding the gun in the pants pocket.But the administrative staff still did not take any action.
After that, the students in another class told the third teacher that the boy who brought a gun at the lunch break showed the gun in the outlet bag and warned him not to tell others, otherwise he would have his life.The female teacher then reported the school.This incident obviously caused the teachers to be vigilant. Some of them volunteered to search for the boy's body, but the school's security supervisor was not allowed.About one hour later, tragedy happened.
Lawyers pointed out that if the school administrators who are responsible for safety take timely action, this tragedy can be avoided, and she will repay the injured.Police said they might sue the boy's mother.What is puzzling is why the executive responsible for security refuses to search?Are you afraid of violating the freedom and human rights of boys?Some people may say: he has a problem with his mind.Unfortunately, the school just fired him under the pressure of public opinion, but did not solve the mystery of why he stopped the teacher from searching for the boy's body.
The most noticeable shot case is that even a three -foot child also learned to use guns to solve the problem, and he could hit it with a shot. Obviously, he not only knew how to use the gun, but the gun method was quite accurate.As usual, this is extremely impossible.Because even if you are an adult, if you have never touched the gun, you may not even understand how to shoot, let alone shoot the target with a shot.Unfortunately, the school and the police did not solve the doubt.
Such cases may be isolated, but in a society with a flood of guns in the United States, children must have more opportunities to contact guns than other countries. Some parents actually think that the early children know how to use guns, the better. This is equivalent toThe sooner you have self -defense.Therefore, they did not hesitate to provide children with this training. Although the law stipulates that only those who are 18 years old can buy rifles legally, and they can buy pistols at the age of 21.
Through violence or force solving the problem, it seems that it has become the gene of Americans (including the use of force and unilaterally destroying rules -based international order in foreign relations).Contradictions between people are resorted to violence, rather than talks.Because people can easily buy powerful automated rifles, guns have also become a terrible anger.In a society with strict control of guns, if a person who has lost his mind wants to kill people, at most, he can only use a weapon to hurt people, and it is difficult to cause many people to die in one breath.With the different guns, the bullets are connected, which can cause many casualties in an instant.This is why large -scale shootings often occur in the United States.
The other two recently occurred in anger shootings, it seems that new immigrants in the United States will soon infect the behavior tendency of violence to solve problems.Both cases occurred in California. First, the shooting of the night dance school on New Year's Eve (some said that it was out of jealousy or personal grievances), which caused 11 people to die.Tran; the second is the shooting of the San Matio Banyue Bay Farm in Northern California (because it is said to be a colleague dispute). The fierce is a 67 -year -old Chinese man Zhao Chunli (translated, zhao Chunli).Colleagues are Chinese farmers.The 72 -year -old suspected of the fierce death, and Zhao was arrested without escape.
The above three cases have attracted the attention of some American criminal scholars: one is the youngest gunner; the other is the oldest gunner; the third is that two non -white Asian immigrant gunmen appeared successively.Their background is different, and they can easily get the guns.
The United States can be said to be a society worshiping guns.Some people say that this is related to the American Civil War. At that time, the establishment of militia for armed militia in various states was necessary to protect themselves.Therefore, the freedom of the gun was later written into the constitution.Theoretically, after the civil war, the freedom of this kind of gun should be subject to restraint, but no one has the law to change the constitution.Gradually, every family has a gun, and as social security worsens (especially in cities), moving guns becomes necessary for self -defense.Therefore, many people think that guns are not a problem. The problem lies in people's illness.The parents of the boy said that the child was sick.Zhao also said that he believed that he had a mental problem.
Many Singaporeans may mutter in their hearts: Is it sick, or is the whole society who is sick?We are a social forbidden society, except for violent and safe, and the police are handed over to the police.Interpersonal disputes are best to be resolved by mediation, and finally have to go to court.In this way, social security is much more harmonious.Only those who are social and living in them are truly safe.In a society that people have resorted to violence and private, the police also often violent law enforcement (especially to blacks) society.Thinking that there is a gun a gun a self -deceiving idea.It is used to solve the problem by violence, and the result must be vulnerable to violence.
Americans claim that they are a superior democracy, and they are so -called into abalone.It is soaked in a salted fish shop every day, and it is used to it over time. Although it is full of salted fish.On the contrary, entering the room of Zhilan, it will not hear its fragrance for a long time.Many people advocate American -style freedom, and feel that the society is too clean (Squeaky Clean). The government is too strict and lacks freedom.The old saying also said that one side of the water and soil raises one person, and people still live in their own soil and water. Don't mistake the abalone as the room of Zhilan.
