Oltre a Matthew McConaughey, che come vi abbiamo già riportato qua è stato uno dei primi ad intervenire sul massacro avvenuto alla Robb Elementary di Uvalde, Texas (sua città natale), sono tante le celebrità che nelle ultime ore si stanno rivolgendo ai social per esprimere tutta la loro frustrazione per una situazione sempre più tragica riguardo il controllo delle armi in America.
La strage di Uvalde, avvenuta per mano del diciottenne Salvador Ramos, ha tolto la vita a 21 persone ed è stata la seconda carneficina più grave a livello di vittime dopo quella del 2012 Newtown, nel Connecticut, dove ne morirono 26. Solo nel 2022, da inizio anno, ci sono state più di 200 sparatorie di massa negli USA. Un calendario di stragi che si infittisce oramai sempre di più, di fronte al quale tanti cittadini americani hanno perso la pazienza. Ecco alcune reazioni postate online dalle celebrità, tra cui il discorso del Presidente Joe Biden:

Taylor Swift
Ha ricondiviso il toccante discorso di Steve Kerr, allenatore dei Golden State Warriors:
Filled with rage and grief, and so broken by the murders in Uvalde. By Buffalo, Laguna Woods and so many others. By the ways in which we, as a nation, have become conditioned to unfathomable and unbearable heartbreak. Steve’s words ring so true and cut so deep. https://t.co/Rb5uwSTxty

Today in my home state of Texas 18 innocent students were killed while simply trying to get an education. A teacher killed doing her job; an invaluable yet sadly under appreciated job. If children aren’t safe at school where are they safe?

John Favreau
I didn’t think it was possible to feel more sickened or enraged by school shootings, and then I became a parent.
What an unimaginable nightmare.

No words. At what point are we going to either admit we have a HUGE problem or we can no longer bear to witness the loss of human life. THIS is not a political crisis, it is a human crisis!!! But…once again, RIP…..It’s reductive and insulting to just give condolences. 💔💔💔 pic.twitter.com/d1gtiEIvFt

Under the tyranny of the second amendment, my children have lost their unalienable Rights as defined in our Declaration of Independence: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This is not freedom.
