“Jaclyn Corin, a white survivor of the Parkland, Fla., shooting, spoke at the march in Washington, where hundreds of thousands of people had gathered. “We openly recognize that we are privileged individuals and would not have received as much attention if it weren’t for the affluence of our city. Because of that, however, we share this stage today and forever with those who have always stared down the barrel of a gun.””

And a codicil from Simon Jenkins
“But no man, or woman, is an island. Humanitarian sympathy is not a defect. It is hard not to accept a father’s sincerity, and hard not to warm to the adjectives he applies to his daughter’s memory. That young people want to travel abroad and identify with the struggles of others is not to be condemned. That they can leave a comfortable country and find fellow-feeling for those in misery is good. We might wish that such passion be directed to more productive ends, but the choice is not ours to make. Ours is not to reason why”
