Iindidi zabafundi ababesinda kwiSonto eFransport ukudubula esikolweni efikile eTallahassee ukuba baqhube ukunyathela amanyathelo okulawula izibhamu, emva kokudutshulwa kweeveki ezidlulileyo kwi-Marjory Stoneman e-Douglas High School. Abantu abalishumi elinesixhenxe babulawa. Abafundi babambe iqumrhu namhlanje ngaphandle kwe-Statehouse yaseFlorida, nje emva kokuba emva kweRiphabliki elawulawulwa yiRepublic House of Representatives ivalwe ibhidi yokuzisa ibhajethi yokunqanda ukuthengisa izibhamu zokuhlaselwa kwimeko.
Ngelixa ukuqhuma kweFlorida kuye kwavelisa ingxabano kazwelonke malunga nezibhamu kunye negunya lokubambisana loMbutho weSizwe weRifle, NRA, ingqalelo enye ingqalelo ekuhlawulweni komnye umbandela wokudubula. Umfoli waseFlorida, u-Nikolas Cruz oneminyaka eyi-19, wayelungu le-Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps program, ngaphambi kokuba axoshwe esikolweni. Wayesembethe JROTC ihembe xa eqhuba ukubulawa kwabantu, ngokuzama ukudibanisa nabanye abafundi. I-Cruz yayiyinxalenye yomntu omine JROTC Iqela lezimpawu esikolweni elalifumene i-$ 10,000 ngemali evela kuyo NRA. Kwiinyanga ezilishumi elinesibhozo ezedlulileyo, isikolo sithumele i-tweet esithi, catshulwa, "MSD" -Marjory Stoneman Douglas- "Ithimba le-JROTC Marksmanship lingathanda ukubulela NRA ngenxa yokubonga kwabo i-$ 10,000 malunga nokuphucula nokuzalisa izixhobo! "Ngokutsho kwe-Associated Press, i-Cruz kunye namanye amalungu eqela asebenzisa izibhamu zomoya ezizodwa ezijoliswe ekujoliswe ekujoliswe kuyo, ngokuqhelekileyo kumagumbi angaphakathi ngaphakathi kwiithagethi ubukhulu becala elincinci .

Okwangoku, i-Army inikezele iMedal of Heroism kwi-Junior ROTC ama-cadets abafa eParkland, eFlorida, ukudubula: U-15 oneminyaka ubudala ubudala uPeter Wang kunye no-14 oneminyaka emibini ubudala, uMartin Duque no-Alaina Petty. Kuthiwa uWang wafa ngoxa ephethe umnyango ovulekile ukuze ancede abanye abafunda nabo babaleke.
Sijoyina ngoku nguPatri Elder, umlawuli weSizwe soMbutho woKhuselo loBucala boMfundi, inhlangano ejongene nempi kwizikolo, umbhali Ukuqashwa kwezempi eMelika.
Ngaba ungayiphendula kwinto ethathayo-eyenzekayo esikolweni, indlela engavamile ngayo, yintoni JROTC yiyo?
PAT ELDER: Ewe, ndiyabonga ngokuba nam, u-Amy.
The JROTC Inkqubo yenkqubo yokuqesha abantu abasemaphandleni enezikolo ezingaphezu kwezi3,000. Kulabo, izikolo ezingaphezu kwe-1,600 zithathe inxaxheba kwiiprogram zempawu kulo lonke ilizwe. Ngoko sinezigaba zokudubula kwizikolo eziphakamileyo kuwo onke amazwe. Bavutha .XUUMX izibhamu. Baye baxoshwa yi-CO177. I-projectile ehamba phambili ihamba ngeenyawo ze-2 ngesibini. Ngokuthelekiswa, isibhamu seXXUMUMX sihamba phakathi kwe-600 kunye ne-22 ngeenyawo ngesibini. Ngoko, sisixhobo esibulalayo, sichazwe nguMkhosi. Futhi umthetho welizwe laseFlorida umelana ngokuthe ngqo nokuphatha izixhobo, ezi zixhobo ezibulalayo, ezikolweni.
NGABA INDAODA ELUNGILE: Ngoko, unabo u-Nikolas Cruz, u-gunman ovuma. Inxalenye ye ROTC Inkqubo, exhaswa yiyo NRA, kwesi sikolo, njengokuba isikolo sinalo izikhalazo zokuxhatshazwa kunye nokuxhatshazwa, kwaye ekugqibeleni umxoshe. Ngaba nawe-unxibe JROTC I-sheikh xa evula umlilo kubantwana afunda nabo.
PAT ELDER: Ewe, ngokucacileyo wayefuna ukudlulisela kwihlabathi ukuba wayenxulumene nalo JROTC inkqubo. U-Amy, yinto ekhohlakeleyo. Sinebutho laseMelika kunye namanye amasebe amathathu kwizikolo eziphakamileyo zibeka izixhobo ezibulalayo ezandleni ze-13 kunye ne-14 ubudala. Ixesha eli liyekile. Kwaye le nkqubo inabantwana abangaphezu kwama-575,000 kuwo onke amazwe, kwaye ifundisa imbonakalo engabonakaliyo, engathandekiyo, esabelayo kwimbali yaseMerika. Ngokomzekelo, urhulumente waseUnited States wayenesikebhe esingenasiphatho seNavy esivela kwiGulf Tonkin, kwaye yayiphunyezwa kakubi yiNorth Vietnam. Sasinceda amaCubans ukuba athole ukuzimela ngenxa yokuba baphathwa kakubi yiSpeyin. Ndicinga ukuba ufumana le ngcamango. Asikho nje ukuthetha ngokubeka izixhobo ezandleni ze-13-ubudala ubudala. Sithetha nangendlela ekhupha aba bantwana ngeencwadi zezifundo. Ngokomzekelo, incwadi yesigodi yoluntu esetyenziswe kuyo JROTC iinkqubo kulo lonke ilizwe lilineyunithi kwi-civics yaseUnited States enesihloko esithi "Nina bantu." Ndafunda ngathi "thina bantu." Ngaba akunjalo?
NGABA INDAODA ELUNGILE: Ngoko ke unxibelelwano phakathi NRA kwaye ezi JROTC iinkqubo, ubuncinane esikolweni eFlorida?
PAT ELDER: Ewe, i NRA ngokuqhelekileyo akanikeli imali. Banika izinto kunye nezinto. Ngale ndlela, banokuthenga izinto kunye nezinto ezivela kubalandeli babo. Kulo lonke ilizwe, kwaye ngokukodwa kwiRust Belt kunye nezikolo ezizizidolophana ezihlwempuzekileyo, izikolo zifuna ukuseta izixhobo zokudubula ezikolweni zazo, ngoko ke zifuna izinto. Bayafuna i-backstops, bafuna iithagethi, bafuna izibhamu, bafuna i-cartXXX ze-CO2, kwaye bafuna iipelisi ezikhokelayo. Ngoko, i NRA ziya kunceda ezi zikolo ngeenkqubo zenkxaso, kwaye zichitha imali ezikolweni ngokuya kwezibonelelo kwilizwe lonke.
Kufuneka kuqatshelwe kwakhona ukuba ezi zikhokelela ama-projectiles. Ukhokelo luqokelela ekupheleni kombhobho, kumgangatho, kwaye ukhokelo luqokelela ekujoliswe kuyo. Kukho ukudibanisa phakathi kokukhokela kwizixhobo zokudubula, ezinokuphela kwezi ntlobo zezibhamu, kunye namanqanaba aphakamileyo egazi. Yinto efuna ukuxoxwa ngayo. Kwaye kukho umgangatho wezempilo JROTC ukudubula eMelika.
NGABA INDAODA ELUNGILE: Kaloku, Pat Elder, ndifuna ukubonga ngokuba unathi. Siza kuqhuba ingxoxo yethu kwaye siyithumele kwi-intanethi kwi-democracynow.org phantsi kwewebhu kuphela. UPat Elder, umlawuli weSizwe soMbutho woKhusela ubumfihlo beMfundi, intlangano ehambelana nobukhosi kwizikolo, umbhali Ukuqashwa kwezempi eMelika.
Yi le Intando yeninzi Ngoku! NdinguAmy Goodman. Siyabonga ngokujoyina nathi. Ukuba ungathanda ukuya Icandelo 2 kwingxoxo yethu kunye nePat Eld, ungaya kwi-democracynow.org.
