The Los Angeles Times has published an editorial calling for a separate Memorial Day for the victims of gun violence in the U.S. The editorial, published online on Memorial Day but appearing in the print edition Tuesday, is a response to the mass school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, one week ago — but also to the soaring crime wave in Democrat-run cities nationwide. The editorial reads, in part:These days, we face another war, this one from within our borders. … Along with our many memorials to our war dead and the victims of the foreign-based terrorism of 9/11, we need a national memorial to our victims of domestic, civilian gun violence. Last year, the Los Angeles Times editorial board supported efforts by Democrats to “reimagine” police — which included massive budget cuts to the Los Angeles Police Department by Mayor Eric Garcetti (D) and the city council.
