Explosions kill three in Boston, followed by two shootouts and a carjacking, and a city and a million people get locked down for a day. No expense is spared to find the suspects.
We say "Never again will we allow deaths like this to happen."
Fertilizer plant explosion kills at least 12 in Texas, flattens an apartment complex and middle school, we shrug and say it's just too expensive to inspect plants for safety.
We say "What can you do about deaths like this?"
Guns kill thousands, we stop any effort to do anything to prevent more deaths and vote down laws that would be small steps towards containing these preventable deaths.
We say "We will not let you do anything about these deaths, accept them."
Then we wonder why our country is so messed up.

Because that would infringe on the rights of the business owner, right?
Jeez. You have the equivalent of a mini-Hiroshima bomb in the middle of a settled area and safety is not a top priority? How in hell do you even get zoning clearing for an operation like this, or zoning clearance to build residences within a certain distance of a plant like this? Is stupidity a sufficient answer, or was there money involved? Enquiring minds wish to know!
Because the Free State of Texas dun need any of those liebral zoning laws!
