#ThreePinesOnPrime Okay - you have Inspector Gamache talking about how important it is to read #MaryShelley #frankenstein and then you reference THE MOVIE not the book!!! In the novel the villagers did NOT kill “the monster” #superfail #dobetter Seriously.

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.
