Even those who 'deserve' it such as criminals - a life that they could have made/done better. Now, I believe every country is different in its' culture - and again, this is not deflection, but an honest appraisal of fact. What works in the US will not work in other countries, and vice versa. Accordingly, there has been just enough of a shift away from an equilibrium in the US leading to the attacks we see today. Think about this slowly: These attacks are reactions against society. The level of exposure to media in the US is unlike other countries. And I'm sometimes surprised we haven't seen more attacks - regardless of how bad any attack may be. Obviously a child being killed is more painful for reasons of innocence lost, a promising life cut short, the potential lost, etc etc. Speaking as a non-US citizen, who has lived in Asia and Canada among other places, I appreciate and respect the gun cultural acceptance in the US - as I've seen the downside of underground/illegal guns in other countries. Case in point, that poor ex-Japanese prime minister got killed by an assailant with a homemade weapon - there's no stopping his assailant from creating it. However, there were other safety mechanisms that could have stopped him. Or maybe not... However, coming back to the US, many things did change to become detrimental overall to society. And I personally feel glamorization of anti-heroes using violence without consequence in media is the biggest free pass, so to speak. As I mentioned earlier, media has created that process of de-sensitizing towards violence. But there's no safety switch in place today. Add lax judicial punishment to that, and a criminally inclined mind will take more liberties to perpetuate their nefarious deeds. An attitude of over-acceptance and justification of people's feelings, rather than societal norms, are likely a piece of the puzzle too, but I digress. PS: I don't mean to be mean, so I apologize in advance for saying this, but your focusing on details of one incident isn't constructive beyond that incident's own local significance. And accordingly, those details don't even have anything to do with this new incident. |

And the medication handed out to children, specifically males, at an early age because parents don't want to parent and teachers don't want to deal with active males. It's much easier to turn them into medicated zombies

Sounds like he is normal and concerned about over medication of the youth which is a real thing. Look at ADD in the 90s. Kids were popping Ritalin like tictacs. Now we let's minors take pills that will make them sterile for life because they are going through a phase. Or they throw them on antidepressants which kills their sex drive at the same time, really healthy!

.gov already has it's boggieman, ignoring that kids have grown up with semiauto rifles for decades... because these guns are black (with plastic instead of wood) and have flash suppressors. |
