BBC Dateline London

20 April - I contributed to BBC Dateline London.
I argued that what the Boston bombings really tells us is that weapons are far too freely available in American society and that violence is used all too easily. Whatever their motive, the young men who seem to have carried out these atrocities appear to be typical American youngsters. 
This tragedy sadly fits in with a narrative we are seeing far too much of across America – that of young people taking up arms against their own. It’s a further illustration of an undeniable sickness right at the heart of American society.
