the laws were in place, but people didn’t act on them.
That means the families of the dead can sue the law enforcement and state.
Yay more tax dollars spent!
And if you act now, we'll throw in a free bonus of 'NO ACCOUNTABILITY'
At what point can authorities be held criminally liable for failing to enforce laws that protect people, and as a direct result someone gets killed? We need to be better about holding our institutions accountable.
That’s a good question, but I don’t really know the answer. Someone else ITT mentioned the possibility of civil action against the people/institutions that should have acted. I don’t know if any other legal action is possible.
Needs to be taken as serious as a heart attack.
If you have chest pains at work, they call an ambulance right away. If you're at work and you talk about violent urges you have with your guns, it needs to be treated as if you're having a heart attack, as if it's a matter of life and death.
