Fredagsfrustration - Jeg havde ret!

Normalt er det jo rart at få ret, men ikke lige her. Dengang, lige efter skyderiet i Fields, skrev jeg:
Og så kommer vi til våbnene - hvor kom de fra, hvordan kunne han få fat i dem ...
     Her skal i parentes bemærkes at han IKKE havde et automatvåben - og se lige på tallene: ti personer ramt af skud på ti minutter ... og så forestil dig ti minutter med et halvautomatisk våben.
     Han må have gået til skydning, for han kunne ramme, dødeligt.
     Og jeg mener at vi faktisk gør nok i Danmark for at holde våben ude af almindeligt omløb. Man skal, som jeg skrev i den engelske tekst, have tilladelse, gyldigt jagttegn osv. for at have et våben ... ja faktisk kræves dette bare for at gå ind i den afdeling af jagtbutikkerne, der sælger ammunition.
Så kommer snakken om hvad vi skal have af tiltag for at hindre at det sker igen. Og så rammer konsekvenserne os alle sammen: Mere overvågning, flere vagter, mere kontrol, mindre frihed. 

Og se nu bare:
SUK ... af og til ønsker jeg at jeg ikke havde ret.
    Og skal vi gætte på at der bare bliver mere kontrol (mere bøvl for os andre) og ikke flere penge til psykiatrien ...

The subtitle in Danish means I am right. This is just one of those times where being right is not good.
You probably do not remember, but just after the shooting in a mall in Denmark, I discussed the possible consequences and wrote:

And then we get to the weapons - where did they come from, how did he get them, why did nobody stop him from having them, and so on. Possession of weapon is uncommon, you ned learn how to shoot, have a paper from the police, renewed regularly,and keep the weapon under lock in your home.
  Note that he did NOT have any automatic or semi-automatic weapon; just a rifle - look at the numbers: ten people hit in ten minutes ... now imagine ten minutes with a semi-automatic weapon ...
  He must have had lots of shooting practise (not a common thing in Denmark), because he could hit, fatally.
Then we'll talk about what we need to do to prevent it from happening again. And those  consequences will hit us all: More surveillance, more guards, more control, less freedom.

The screenshot from a Danish news agency promises just this. More restrictions, more bother for normal people ... and of course no more money for mental health care, which would help.

    1. Næh vel, men meget typisk, at det er en "løsning" til ulejlighed for almindelige mennesker.

  4. Those who wish to commit a crime will always find a way to do so. How i wish we could intervene before they become the type of person who wants to commit a crime.
