What the heck is wrong with us?!!

Don't project one person's mental illness on everyone else....

Wow - didn't expect to have to explain this:

If you haven't noticed; this is NOT an isolated incedent in the society that we (all uf us) live in today. Yes, most of "us" do not condone or participate in this activity but we are all touched by the effects. I am not making a confession or an acusation. Doesn't a person diseased have mostly healthy components? We are a society diseased. I was mearly asking the question; "How have we, as a society, come to this?

My objection is stripping the personal responsibility from the bad actor and plastering the blame on the rest of society. It's the classic liberal approach to dodging responsibility. It's the same approach that leads to gun bans for everyone as a solution to the bad behavior of a few. The same approach that has the TSA searching feeble old white women to avoid offending swarthy young men in their 20s.

Every population has a percentage of bad actors. Deal with them. Don't punish all for the acts of a few.
