Of Peace, Guns and Issues

   Of Peace, Guns and Issues
   Yes, I come from Europe, such a perfect place to be... or not now it depends on the side from which one may chose to see things but anyway as someone who lives here it is all for the better. I always tried to be objective and I mean it! I am not a radical feminist but I support them whenever I identify with some of their conceptual beliefs and things they do in practical tearms. Neither have I been a severe *peace producer* as to expose a shiny banner in front of the cameras and to thrust a cluster of tears when I get an award for some kind of overnight invented campaign that took place in a forgotten place none has even heard about. Still, I am a little bit stunned about the US. They go on bragging about their national security and how the Middle East and external terrorism is such a huge threat to their perfectly built nation and yet... I saw on the news that some 14 year old kid went on pulling out his gun and just shooting every individual he could aim at. Where?  you got it! IN SCHOOL! ... somewhere in Ohio! Why? Well just because of many reasons that have not been revealed yet such as family, curiosity for weapons or whatever that experiement might have been for the teenager. Thing is it is not only one single isolated case in the world. This is a world wide known American phenonmenon and it brings me chills down my spine when I hear about it. It is not many years since I was a teenager. I also saw during this time things like drunken teens, teens who would smoke weed or have fights at home. I even came across a lot of youngsters who came from disfunctional families confessing  about what they experienced at home. But never amongst such groups were I ever afraid or panicked for my life. Why again? Well simply because in the US you can have a gun no matter the age or the place. It is not hard to get and very easy to use and since the news keep bombarding minds with terrorism and danger at every step , YAAAY! There is the saving solution! I wonder how on an usual school day my mom would ask me if I have my gun next to my lunchbag or something... Creepy or what? What does security have to do in a regular school? Well, identify the strangers who want to enter, keep photocopies of student teacher and parents who already presented their ID, watch out for trouble from outside and.... CHECK FOR GUNS; MATE! Since this is such a widely spread thing I guess they have yet to sort out the issue... Fortunately all those who got hurt are expected a fast recovery. Unfortunately the threat makes us think again of the values and morals of a society. I am no advisor but I just thought that if I had a kid I would not teach him how to use a weapon and I would not show him where the weaponry is kept in the house if I were to keep something like that on me. Moreover, I would either have someone or take him to school myself or send him with a secure schoolbus because security is there watching over the future little warriors..... And are we still worried about African soldier children? Well thing is that they are forced by terrorists to become thus but what about American soldier children? I know that it is such an urge to make money and such a big distance between work, school and home for everyone but still can this gun thing not be kept under control at all?
   In the aftermath of this particular incident, there was a trial in which it was to be decided if the child had to stand trial as a juvenile threat or as an adult. I do not know how to judge this because I am in no right position to do  so and I will leave it to readers to form their own opinion on the matter. However the seriously sick outcome of it all is that various psychologists started up mass therapy in that school which commenced activity today. So it looks like all students who were present where the so to say show was on are traumatized and maybe their trauma is more innoculated by the mature people who got totally freaked out at the sight. I have heard that they now have extra security in the area... Well... at least I hope those people will do serious gunchecks on the students and maybe those tons of psychologists who always save the day shold even start up some familytalk with all major gunfans who send their young versions of themselves to school..... How about that for a change?.....
