Powerful Images From the National Walkout – Học sinh toàn nước Mỹ biểu tình đòi an ninh

~ Trần Đình Hoành
The adults act like kids, and the kids act like adults
Người lớn hành động như trẻ em, trẻ em hành động như người lớn.

Truyền thông Mỹ đang nói câu đó. Nước Mỹ thường xuyên xảy ra sát nhân giết người hằng loạt bằng súng, đặc biệt là trong các trường học. Tổng tống Mỹ và các nghị sĩ đảng cầm quyền Cộng Hòa ở Thượng Viên và Hạ Viện Mỹ ngồi yên không dám nhúc nhích vì sợ làm mất lòng National Rifle Association (NRA – Hội Súng Trường Quốc Gia) với tiền bạc đổ vào mọi cuộc bầu cử ủng hộ ứng viên Cộng Hòa và hệ thống lobbying vĩ đại của hội (vận động hành lang Quốc hội và các cơ quan chính phủ). Vì vậy, các em học sinh trung học tự đứng dậy đòi hỏi giải quyết vấn đề.

Ngày thứ tư 17/3/2018, đúng một tháng từ ngày 17 học sinh bị bắn chết ở trường Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School ở bang Florida, học sinh từ nhiều trường trên khắp nước Mỹ làm cuộc walkout (bước ra khỏi lớp học), biểu tình, đòi hỏi chính quyền thay đổi luật về mua bán súng để trường học an ninh hơn. Các em tuyên bố sẽ không ngừng đòi hỏi cho đến khi luật thay đổi, và nói rằng các em 18 tuổi trở lên nhất định sẽ đi bầu để bầu những người hỗ trợ tăng kiểm soát mua bán súng (thường là người của đảng Dân Chủ).

(Newser) – Thousands of students walked out of schools across the nation and even abroad as part of Wednesday’s protest against gun violence, with the AP reporting that moods at the protests ranged from somber to angry. The walkout marked the one-month anniversary of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., that killed 17, and while most walkouts were planned to last for 17 minutes at 10am local time, USA Today reports that in Parkland, Stoneman Douglas students rejected requests from administrators that they return to class and instead walked two miles alongside students from a nearby middle school to a memorial set up for the victims. Students across the US read poems, chanted and waved signs, and in some cases, faced consequences threatened by administrators. See some of the scenes in our gallery; the New York Times has live updates.
