Makes me think... we talk about back in the day guns were widely available and people weren’t getting shot right and left. But they weren’t THAT widely available and the young toughs would make “zip guns” out of stolen car antennas, and then the “cheap saturday night specials” were the thing. When did they start getting arsenals?
Was thinking about the “mass shootings” increase, especially the “shoot people you don’t know” kind.
1. Untreated/unsecured serious mental illness.
2. Big increase in “recreational” drug use, especially in young teenagers (permanently damaging brains).
3. Big increase in psych drugs.
4. Toxic social media including music, entertainment, etcetc glorifying and encouraging slaughter, violence and the like. The “etc” includes Dem/commie/antifa/Black Lives Matter and similar propaganda. Could include commie professors in here as well. These messages justify in evil doers’ minds that it’s okay or even good for them to kill people.
5. Complete eradication of any moral absolutes being taught in any educational institutions and in fact message that any moral absolutes/religious based morals are actual Evil.
6. Very little death penalty ever, and even murder will often get a perp 10 years so very violent and dangerous criminals are roaming around.
7. The stupid SCOTUS decision a few years ago that a criminal, no matter how violent or dangerous, cannot get the death penalty if crime were committed under the age of 18.
8. The stupid policy of making the criminal records of crimes committed under 18 sealed.
Not all the above are weighted the same, just typed ‘em up as they popped up in my thoughts.
Kroger’s now joining Walmart. No worries for me, since I never shopped there anyway.
