Cowardly Response

An excerpt form the NY Times -

The Bad Parent Caucus
By Timothy Egan

Here’s a thought: The next politician to express sorrow over the slaughter of students at a school without offering any specific remedy should be run out of office, for cowardice and failure to protect American children.

Here’s a prayer: Let us remember to hold that thought for at least seven months, to the next election.

President Trump delivered 702 words to the nation Thursday on the murder of 17 kids in Parkland, Fla. — one of more than 150 school shootings over the last decade. Not once did he mention guns, or more specifically the semiautomatic rifle used by the mentally unstable white-supremacist teenager who entered a school with an AR-15.

The president did order the flag lowered to half-staff. He should have run up a white flag of surrender. Along with a gutless majority in Congress, Trump is hiding behind the shield of “thoughts and prayers” while showing himself derelict of duty in failing to defend the lives of school children.
