Local civil rights activists held a memorial vigil Sunday, May 15, for the victims of Saturday’s mass shooting in Buffalo, where 10 people were killed in what authorities have called a racially motivated hate crime.
“The heinous murder of at least 10 persons clearly targeted because of race again points up the extreme peril of racial violence in the nation. Our vigil for the victims and the call for California senators to press for passage on the stalled gun violence prevention bill will underscore that peril and need,” Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson said during Sunday morning’s vigil at the Dunbar Hotel south of downtown Los Angeles.
“There are a lot of minds out there that are sick minds, and they’ll see something like this and the next thing you know we’ll have another, and another. It’s almost like a game, trying to top each other,” Hutchinson added. “… We’re not saying that one law is going to solve everything, but at least it does begin to give some indication the country, the elected officials and all the others are deeply concerned about this.”
A number of gun-related bills are pending in the California Legislature, including one that would allow individuals and the state attorney general to sue manufacturers and sellers of firearms for the harm caused by their product.
