“I’m not saying that it could only happen in the U.S.A.; no one could prevent some one from shooting people in the Sorbonne,” said Pierre Chiquet, a 77-year-old retired aerospaceengineer, referring to the Paris university.
“But violence is more imbued in American society than in ours. The most dramatic aspect is that they even transport their violence to the rest of the world.”
Ah yes France that place of contemplative thought where violence never happens in its lovely peaceful shores.
Or this gem:
“This is a tragedy and we express our condolences,” Boris Gryzlov, speaker of Russia’s lower house of parliament, told journalists. Referring to a recent U.S. State Department report criticizing the Kremlin, he added, “The situation where a country dictates rules of behaviour to other countries, but cannot keep its own people in order, does raise questions.”
Hmm maybe he should look in the mirror. One crazy verses full on well controlled criminal corruption.
Glass houses people.
Look in Canada we have gun control... still 16 people were killed in Montreal. France and Britian have strict gun control but now no one feels safe. Violent offenders are in a position of power in these countries because the only controls they have on them are over matched and over worked police forces.
Looking to score political points on a tragedy has a fine tradition in the world but it seems unseemly to do so after just a day.
