Mass drownings at sea are to the EU what mass shootings are to the US.

- It keeps happening.

- And every time it happens, politicians pretend to be concerned, yet keep in place the government policies at the root of the problem.

- So, it keeps happening.

I disagree: I don’t think that even among the most crazy anti-gun-regulation-morons in the US there is any meaningful minority that think that the shoostings are GOOD or DESIRABLE.

With some of our EU-politicians, I have a feeling that this may very well be a different story when it comes to drowning refugees.
