It says that we live in a fallen creation. A world of sin and evil.
20 kids died in this instance. Around the world, hundreds, thousands of kids die daily........
Horrible acts of evil occur every day, yet we focus on this one instance, and our Politicians wring their hands crying "woe is me, what new Laws can we pass to put an end to all this?"
No "passed Law" will stop evil acts by evil people. The ONLY thing Laws accomplish is to restrict the freedom of Law abiding people.
What does it say about our Naiton? That we live in a fallen creation
