At least we got a true explanation, in the end, of exactly what happened in West….<snip>…as Ryck stated. It comes down to the value put on life.
We got an explanation about West, but when it came time for the legislature to put its money where its mouth was they did nothing to increase funding or staffing of the regulatory agency. The only real change was the West City Council made changes to their zoning ordinances which closed the barn door after the horse had kicked the barn down.
The state legislature did approve the licensed open carry of firearms so we have a good idea of the value they place on human life.
