>I still find it hard to believe that the wrath of the parents
was not directed at the chief constable who made it possible
for the murderer to get his guns. He is an accessory to the
murders as he knew full well the character of that bag of
filth. I find it still harder to believe that the law
protectects him. But then there are probably a lot of M.P.s
who are also masons. The legislation passed after dunblane
is a perversion of the law by pratts who made this possible
in the first place abetted by a press who hasn't a clue and
really don't want to know.<
I also find it hard to understand also but can you imagine what it must
have been like up there after the shootings?
While I think the police and local politicians acted dreadfully after the
event (and still do) they have to live with it. I pass up few chances to
criticize them all for the actions of one bad apple (this seems equitable to
me and perhaps they'll get the message in the end) but after the shootings
they were all the town saw, the peoples 'thin blue line' between themselves
and the insanity Hamilton had brought to them.
Any parent takes a risk having children and when there's a horror like this,
living through it must be like viewing events by looking through a
magnifying glass the wrong way. How can you turn on the people who are
sharing the most intense emotional moments with you, they're the one's who
are making the tea and arranging things. Much easier to blame someone
someplace else who you don't know anyway. If the police had floated the
idea that shooters should be made to wear a red hat when in the street it
would have got support.
The whole town knew someone or someone who knew someone who had to go into
the classroom afterwards. It would be impossible not to have sympathy for
them or to turn on them or doubt their veracity. The police (and other)
emergency services who did deal with the immediate aftermath must have been
dreadfully traumatised and of course it showed to the locals.
I'm just disappointed not one of the police has spilt the beans, even if
anonymously, they're the ones who know what went on and who have to try to
sleep each night.

But most of the relevant information is known, sloppy record keeping,
an incompetent ACC who couldn't add 2+2, etc. Like I keep saying, it
is a finding of fact by a public inquiry that the police did make
a substantial number of serious errors, it's not a debatable point.
