Eight children, aged between 1 and 14, died in a shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, which police have described as “domestic violence.” Details of how the incident occurred are still unclear. According to Louisiana police, the suspect was being followed before opening fire on the children.
You can see the details of the incident from this link... but we will evaluate three consecutive incidents and question why children are chosen as victims in personal attacks.
There have been two attempted attacks, both involving underage children attacking children and teachers in their own schools with weapons and then committing suicide. The first occurred in Şanlıurfa province, where 16 children were seriously injured. The second attack, in Kahramanmaraş province, resulted in the deaths of 9 people, 8 of whom were children. In both cases, the perpetrators were children who ended their own lives. The child who carried out the first attack was 12 years old, the other 14. They were children from educated families. Their fathers were prosecutors and police chiefs, and their mothers were teachers.
So why have children started killing children in recent years? We saw in the attacks on Gaza, Iran, and Lebanon that killings by Israeli and US bombs has become commonplace. Most recently, at the beginning of the Iran-Iraq war, bombs were dropped on a school with 168 female students… Their deaths were orchestrated.
But perhaps for the first time in the world, children killing other children, or children killing their schoolmates and teachers, occurred. Both children committed suicide and ended their lives.
We don’t yet know the details of the Louisiana incident, but once again, the victims are children. While children used to lose their lives because of the warmongering of the elderly, now children are losing their lives because of their own stupidity and problems.
Is the world becoming increasingly savage, or are the savagery of adults directly affecting children? There are many questions, but finding the answers is difficult.
