In an incredible display of utter distaste, Donald Trump Jr. insisted in a video fueled by social media fury on Saturday that the Uwalde mass shooter could have killed 19 children and two teachers with a “bat.”
Vending machines are stigmatized when “fucked people” are the real problem, he said in a Facebook video.
The flushed, almost tearful Trump Jr. shouted that the shooter was a “sociopath” who could cause the same chaos with almost any other weapon.
“This is the gun; it’s not the sociopath who owns it, “people said, he complained. “Wouldn’t he do the exact same thing with a bat, or a bomb, or some makeshift device — or a machete?” He added.
The real problem is that people are “fucked up” and we have “crazy teachers” and “indoctrination programs” in our schools, he insisted.
“It’s happening right now, boys. That’s enough, “said Trump, who said he was looking for” responsibility. ” “It never ends, man,” he added.
In fact, the pistol is crucial to the amount of destruction that any shooter can inflict. The submachine guns inflict extreme trauma on the human body, and the bullets are fired in a flash, allowing the shooter to inflict maximum damage extremely quickly.
A pediatric traumatologist at the University Hospital of San Antonio, who helped save the lives of children injured at Uvalde Elementary School, told CNN earlier this week that high-velocity bullets ripped “large chunks” of tissue that immediately caused massive a hemorrhage that can kill someone in five minutes. That’s why mass gunfire has so few survivors (unlike, say, a bat attack).
“When a firearm enters the body at high speed, it actually creates a wave and an explosion,” Dr. Lillian Liao told Nightline. “So it looks like part of the body was blown up. A high-velocity firearm will create a giant hole in the body. “
All of the survivors suffered “major destructive wounds” that are more likely to affect an organ in a child’s small body, she said.
The story continues
When Scottish parents and gun control advocates fought to ban high-caliber pistols after 16 children were killed in a mass shooting at a school in Dunblane in 1996, the late Prince Philip asked if anyone was beating people to death with a bat. cricket will also be banned?
Apparently it was “nonsense,” Mick North, the father of 5-year-old Sophie, who was killed in Dunblane, told NPR on Friday, recalling the prince’s complaint.
Such statements completely fail to acknowledge the horrific devastation of weapons, especially automatic weapons, North said. “It’s too easy for someone to take something like a gun and cause chaos in seconds and certainly minutes,” he said.
