I don't suppose you could point it out to Rosengarten that "the main problem" was that a killer had free rein to carry out his carnage and nobody could do a damn thing about it. And really, isn't admitting "the shooter had been provided with time" just another way of saying "Nobody possessed the ability to stop him"?

As I said, good grief. I don't suppose the one and only thing that actually would work has occurred to any of these egghheads?
Nope, didn't think so:
Did you ever get the feeling that for some, when they say "Never again" there should be a "Please" appended to it? They are fools who have learned nothing from history, and worse, demand those who do not share their cowardice to render themselves just as contemptible.
I'll reserve my respect and support for those who declare "Or else!" and mean it.
