Slaughter of San Felice in Verona. Too many weapons in their homes. mercy and silence for the massacre of five dead
San Felice. Four murdered and a homicide / suicide. A tragedy
town. There will be no way to
reflect on the root causes. But now it is urgent
to prevent more deaths like that now can be . E '
necessary tools to remove materials that make
"possible and easy" these absurd dead. Too
weapons are present in homes. Instead of ensuring
security, the weapons make it unsafe
the lives of those who have them. ask: why a "quiet"
accountant, with his wife and children, had many
+ guns? With what justification sought and obtained the
firearms?
now tragically obvious to all that
insecurity has increased its
within households and houses: the political professionals
fear and security, we still dangerous illegal
?
measures will still be able to justify ridiculous and unnecessary
ensure the safety of walking quietly down the street (while
real danger, especially for women and children, it is
just when you enter a home)?
The culture of fear, suspicion,
"security" carries with it the germ
perverse defense at all costs from possible attacks and
this encourages the proliferation of weapons self-defense, then that
transform
occasion of delirium or the loss of lucidity, in tools
murderers to kill his closest affections.
It 's the gun culture that was to be abolished immediately.
Unfortunately, however, in these days at the Verona
weapons are presented as a model for young people. E '
outrageous that the fair Job stand bigger,
visible, and therefore more popular, is precisely what
the military, complete with a display of weapons also
"defense staff." From Job we should expect more proposals
educational more constructive, more positive. There is
complaints, then, if they grow generations of young people who are not
able to resolve their conflicts, not
can recognize its weaknesses, its dark sides
that become adults
able to handle the inevitable crises and use in the most extreme cases
killing spree, using the tool easier to
available, the weapon.
the day of national mourning ,
for the funeral of five family members, we expect
civil and religious authorities can identify the deep discomfort of
a company that allowed weapons to enter
in the privacy of homes instead of
ability to address and resolve family conflicts with
dialogue and nonviolence.
