Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr called out politicians, the National Rifle Association and the wall President Trump seeks to build along the border with Mexico in the hours after another fatal mass shooting.
Asked about the tragedy in a Parkland, Fla., high school Wednesday that left 17 dead, Kerr said the inaction after prior shootings was “disgusting" in a chat with reporters before Wednesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 19-year-old suspect, a former student at the school who was taken into custody in the aftermath of the shooting, used a military-style rifle to commit the massacre.
“Well, nothing has been done,” Kerr said. “It doesn't seem to matter to our government that children are being shot to death day after day in schools. It doesn't seem to matter that people are being shot at a concert, in a movie theater. It's not enough, apparently, to move our leadership, our government, the people running this country to actually do anything. That's demoralizing.
“But we can do something about it. We can vote people in who actually have the courage to protect peoples’ lives and not just bow down to the NRA because they finance their campaign for them. So, hopefully, we will find enough people to vote good people with courage to actually help our citizens remain safe and focus on the real safety issues and not building some stupid wall for billions of dollars that has nothing to do with our safety, but actually protecting us from what truly is dangerous -- which is maniacs with semi-automatic weapons (who) are just slaughtering our children. It's disgusting."
