Nikolas Cruz, the man who killed so many at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School, has admitted his guilt and will be imprisoned for life without parole. The jury has affirmed his culpability but did not give a verdict of death. But as these kinds of mass killings continue, American society from top to bottom has to look at itself. What did his mother do to him? How could he be allowed to get this weapon? How can government at all levels lack the courage to pass laws necessary to control guns and gun violence? Why do Americans consume so much violence in the form of sports and entertainment?
It may be one young man, but it’s all of us, too. And it won’t stop until we build a society that has no tolerance for guns and the violence they create.
