Many causes coming together in the perfect storm.
1. WW II put women in the workforce, so stay-at-home moms withered afterward.
2. Rise of easy divorce.
3. Legalization of abortion inured everybody to the evil of murder of innocents.
4. Moral Codes disappeared from movies. They never existed for music and video games. Rap is horrifically violent. Young minds hearing it for years internalize the message.
5. School prayer ended.
6.Welfare broke apart tens of millions of families.
8. The rise of 24 hour news channels where everybody could become famous (more correctly, notorious) for a few days and the channels, desperate to fill their insatiable demand for content, broadcast the sick events nonstop for days.
9. First person shooter games messing up weak minds.
10. The liberals released mental incompetents from asylums in the 70s. It is now much harder to get a mental incompetent institutionalized.
11. The pill ushered in free sex furthermore hurting marriage and the nuclear family.
12. Liberal indoctrination killed God and church attendance declined drastically.
13.Internet social media and YouTube again makes it easy to make people famous / notorious.
14. Incompetent law enforcement focused on bringing down a President rather than following up on serious concerns.
15. Zero discipline in schools, again caused by liberals.
16. Liberal “self-esteem” programs.
The Second Amendment is not on the above list.
This is probably not a comprehensive list nor are all these factors necessarily involved in every mass shooting.
How can we return to normalcy? Frankly, I don’t think we can. It’s like Islamic jihad — nobody ever heard of it 30 or 40 years ago, but it was let out of Pandora’s Box Andy is here to stay.
There's no way the Parkland idiot could tell you why he did what he did. He doesn't know. In fact, it's doubtful there IS a reason, at least one that anyone would recognize.
He was just full of hate. Anger. Resentment. Brainless, conscienceless, amoral rage. Like a rabid dog that bites without really knowing why it bites.
But like that rabid dog, the solution isn't to try to reason with it, or to figure out some unanswerable "why." It's to put it down, throw it over the fence, and get on with life.
