I am aware of “Occam’s Razor” and “Hanlon’s Razor...
I think we need another razor that says something like:
“Some people go crazy, and then they do crazy things.
It is a waste of time and effort to try to explain
what they do and why they do it.
It is enough to know that crazy people just do crazy things.”

Reading up on American mass shootings, it occurs to me that "crazy people doing crazy things" seems to be the explanation for most of them. Seldom is religion or politics a factor.

That’s Occam’s shaving cream, which allows the razor to work well.

Crazy people doing crazy things we can survive, as they are relatively rare. It’s the power mongers, who love the smell of chaos in the morning, that are fatal to us. They take Crazy and expand their power upon it.

May God confound them and restore sane leadership to our country!
