This violence is a systemic problem with society. 

 

 

Indeed

Psychiatrists and Psychologists need to  thoroughly study each of these mass killers to find out why they do what they do.

I see….keep deflecting. 

You’re caught up in a classic “Tiberian Loop”, whereby poster A yells “It’s all you people!”, and poster B (in this case, you) responds rationally to engage in debate.   Poster A, generally a simple fellow, responds “Jan 6”, “you hate the country” or “Move to Russia”.  
 

Tiberian Loop…it’s a thing.  

[muppy]

I find this thread totally depressing. Booooooooooooooooooooo

nothing is sacred anymore. Not even 4th of July.

You forgot toss in something or other about RUSSIA!! And maybe sprinkle in a bit of RACISM for good measure.

Reached out to my cousin and friends in Chicago/burbs to ensure they were ok, thankfully so far all are ok.  Hope that applies to everyone here as well. 

 

I appreciated the avatar suggestions last week and can’t recall if we addressed that later on.  It’s just that I’m a loooooooooooooone wolf, and you can’t cage a loooooooooooone wolf.    
Sure, I just scheduled a visit with a local ENT specialist for some hearing issues, and yes, I didn’t want to work today because I spent 2 days partying (level 3 out of 10) with the family this weekend, but still, I’m a loooooooooone wolf at heart.

I texted an old college buddy living in Chicago yesterday to check in, who is literally packing as we speak to move hi family out due to 10 people getting shot in front of his local Whole Foods a few weeks ago.

 

This shooting is getting a lot of National attention, but unfortunately shootings are commonplace and accelerating there. 
 

Total chaos.

The first one is cartoonish and makes me look like Wile E Coyote. 
 

The second one is ostentatious and I have a fear of heights.

Seeing as there are at least 4 former military on my campus I would be happy if they were armed. The concept of arming every teacher is stupid but only morons have suggested it, so I don't think you are suggesting that.

To a suggestion, just a direction that even a pres has pushed. I would be concerned about the 4 ex mil. Ptsd?

Then how does one deal with gun proliferation at family events. There are no Wyatt Earps, Matt Dillions types. We now have cops who put 60 shots into an man who was unarmed. I think that is proof that all the training, psychology clearance,  etc cannot work. 8 trained professionals over reacted and panic. That is 8...not 1 young green cop, 8 trained experienced cops, who could not control their mental state.

That's society right now.  

 

It's collapsing.  You can see the signs of this everywhere.  

 

As social norms are cast aside by libs that think we have 67 genders and you aren't accountable for anything - except Trump everything is his fault and because of him - this is just the beginning.  

 

You can only mock rugged individualism, liberty, and the country's Founding principles for so long before it begins to crumble.  And the epicenter of where these norms are going to the trash is our schools.  

 

Greatness and success in life is not the focus there anymore.  Everything is diversity and America sucks.  They have lowered standards, they have gotten rid of tests and higher standards for those tests, and they even want to scrap the SAT.  These kids are lost.  This Spotify rapper shooter - that's what these kids want to be.  Famous on Instagram or You Tube.

 

 

 

 

What a mess.

"Lost."

 

"Made crazy ... videos."

 

"Isolated Stoner."

 

 

 

No purpose.  

 

 

 

 

 

"Crazy" is the new normal.  

 

It's not mentally ill when this is the society you're creating.

Interesting. I assume the person posting as a former friend of the killer is legit. And sadly, it makes sense. 
We are in the middle of some kind of crisis of older boys/young men. The trend is now unmistakable. These boys/men come from different backgrounds. Buffalo shooter and this Highland Park killer: intact families, middle to upper middle class. Uvalde shooter: broken family, looked to be teetering on the edge of middle class. Some non-Hispanic white, Uvalde Hispanic/white. But … All young men. Or at least what we used to call young men. They relate to the world more like 12 year old boys. And let’s be honest: losers. All of them. Despite access to good schools and in most cases solid middle class upbringings, they are emotionally stunted little boys who exhibit little or no talent or drive, beyond the drive to have their names all over media as the next mass shooter. 

Where are the girl mass murderers? Answer: probably in college, getting on with their lives, leaving their childish middle school grudges behind them (the sex ratio of college grads is astonishing to someone of my generation). The arrested development “young men” are playing video games all day, getting stoned, posting embarrassing rap videos on social media, never talking to a girl in their entire lives, much less dating one. It’s creepy, it’s troubling, it’s the new reality. And I really don’t have any answers anymore.

Interesting perspective.
 

Seems you may be identifying some unintended consequence of the concerted effort to wring masculinity out of American society…. 
 

great point. Women mass shooters just don’t seem to exist.

Our entire culture is sick.  Right away, the usual suspects in politics and the media go on the hunt to identify the shooters ideology.  Which side can we blame?  The left or the right?  Did he vote for Biden or Trump?  Is he associated with Antifa or maybe White Supremacist groups?  Can this violent and senseless act help with our political and social agenda?  How can our causes benefit from the suffering of others?   

 

Instead of just admitting we've got a generation of a lot of maladjusted and dysfunctional young men that appear to have little purpose or interest in life running loose in the country.  And that for one reason or another they've gone down a wrong path that's transformed them into raging psychotics and we need to do something about it that goes far beyond talk about gun control.  Whatever the politics, the system, whether its education or parenting techniques, or the legal system, or the economic system, or social media, or video games, or some other thing, screwed these kids up and the system better fix the problem.

 

It's the great "unsaid":   some time ago society declared war on privileged White Males.  The problem is not all white males are privileged, but they have to deal with the same new framework as the actual privileged males. 

 

No defending the behavior at all, but there are cost/effect to actions that societies are not very good at understanding.  And the American Left is absolutely horrific at understanding...
