Here's a different kind of question I've often had about large scale tragedies like natural disasters, diseases & gun violence:
We get so caught up in the emotion of the violence that we don't consider the long-term, historical consequences. To put it bluntly: the planet is overpopulated already. Maybe we shouldn't try to cure every disease, we shouldn't confiscate all the harmful drugs, etc.
Perhaps we'd be happier if we made peace with the fact that rabid animals are going to dwindle the herd from time to time (as they have in much greater volume throughout history) & that's not really a bad thing in the long run.
Should we try to stop as many large scale attacks as possible? Of course... but I don't think the zeitgeist should have an aneurysm every time one occurs either.
I think we be served to draw some historical perspective on how difficult the human condition has always been & how that is something of a blessing in disguise.
Take for instance how valuable the conquerors throughout history, as bloody & awful as they were during their reigns, have been to population control.
We think the planet is overpopulated now: the environment sick, the resources dwindling; where in the world [would] we be without Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Julius Caesar or for that matter the bubonic plague, cancer & AIDS?
Here's an article on the beneficial impact Genghis Khan's conquests had on the environment & sustainability, for example.
There are already 7.125 BILLION people on Planet Earth.
Try to extrapolate out how many people would be here now if EVERYONE had survived & had kids, which seems to be the ultimate aim of modern society... a right if you will... to defy the boundaries of nature.
It'd be one hell of a dystopian nightmare that's for sure.
Don’t count on them being aware. Drop it anyway. I will too.

Jason Kessler outside Charlottesville General District Court
Jason Kessler, a local Charlottesville area blogger, appeared in the Charlottesville General District Court Monday to be sentenced on a charge of misdemeanor assault.
The judge ordered Kessler to complete 50 hours of community service in the next six months. The blogger is also not allowed to contact the plaintiff, Jay Taylor.
The charge results from an incident that occurred on the Downtown Mall in January. Kessler was collecting signatures for a petition to have Charlottesville Vice Mayor Wes Bellamy removed from office in response to several tweets on Bellamy's Twitter account over a five year period between 2009 and 2014 that included gay slurs, profanity and lewd comments about women.
Crozet resident Jay Taylor claimed when he approached Kessler about the petition, Kessler responding by punching him in the face.
Taylor pursued assault charges, and in April, Kessler pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault. Kessler initially claimed Taylor had also assaulted him, but dropped the charge he had filed against Taylor when video surveillance disproved Kessler's version of events.
Kessler filed a petition in February to remove Bellamy from City Council, but was ultimately unsuccessful. A prosecutor found that the petition did not have enough signatures, prompting the court to dismiss it March 8.

James Justin Taylor outside Charlottesville General District Court
"Crozet resident Jay Taylor claimed when he approached Kessler about the petition [to remove gay-bashing, 'lewd comments about women' Bellamy from office of Vice Mayor], Kessler responding by punching him in the face."
Not sure if James Justin Taylor (above) is a family member, or, far less likely, “Jay” is a nickname for James.
“James Justin Taylor says he approached Kessler to read the petition, saw it was about Bellamy, and called the blogger an [expletive].”
Nice Work...BFL
PING.
New research, all the way to end of thread, and here's this:
The Dark Past of Jason Kessler – Charlottesville Organizer – Professional Provocateur -
His love for Obama and Clinton.
His support for Gun Control.
As well as his strange and illogical change in political position only weeks away from the election that would seat President Trump in the Whitehouse.
We can now shine a light on the darkness that shrouded the past of this ALLEGED “Trump Supporter.”
A Trump Supporter he is NOT, a self-promoter he is indeed!
There are plenty of people who supported Obama and changed their views. There are plenty of people who said enough is enough while pulling the lever for President Trump.
Reason and logic do not support a change from an enthusiastic Obama supporter to a racist White Supremacist unless there is more…

“There’s going to be a War man,
I can see it,
There’s going to be a war between the Blacks and between the Whites. You ain’t gonna need a uniform no more. This ain’t gonna be a war where you pick your side, your side is already picked for you.”

“His love for Obama and Clinton.”
That seems to be the common denominator for 99% of all our troubles.
This morning on Fox and Friends I caught the tale end of Louie Gormert talking about Kessler.
if you can find that clip, it might explain things.
The Texas lawmaker also is calling for the Justice Department to look into Mr. Kessler, a nationalist blogger who helped organize the rally and heads a nonprofit called Unity & Security for America, aimed at protecting Western civilization.
Texas lawmaker calls for DOJ investigation of Charlottesville violence..................
From article...................
Mr. Kessler told Fox News on Thursday he is in hiding after the violence. He said his group is a “civil rights group” and does not include white supremacists. He said he voted for President Barack Obama in 2008.
“You don’t just all of a sudden go from having multiracial roommates and a Jewish girlfriend to all of a sudden being a white supremacist that wants to join the Republican Party,” Mr. Gohmert said of Mr. Kessler. “There is something very, very wrong in all of this.”

Louie Gohmert was on tv this morning saying he finds it very strange that the Nazi’s and the Antifa rode to the rally on the same bus.
At least someone is awake out there.
Thank you Louie.
“Louie Gohmert was on tv this morning saying he finds it very strange that the Nazi’s and the Antifa rode to the rally on the same bus.”
Any evidence or links you can provide on that?
See post 71 also.
He was on Fox Business this morning.
