LETTER: Thinking beyond emotional reports
Pennsylvania

An alligator snatches and drowns a child!
Another mass shooting in Florida!
These reports cause all sorts of emotions: fear, grief, sadness, sorrow, pain, even frustration and anger. The victims were in the prime of their life, mostly in their 30s or 40s.
But I can’t help thinking about the ongoing mass murders of young American citizens, with the blessing and approval of the U. S. Supreme Court, before they have even their first birthday!
