“Lack of fathers is the most common denominator for these shootings, from what I can tell.”
Yes, and having a drug addicted father when he wad conceived certainly didn’t held this creature to grow into anything other than what he became. Indeed, this bit of family history will probably be the central part of his defense.
I wonder why there doesn’t seem to have been a prompt enough LEO response to have stopped him during his massacre.
When seconds count the police are minutes away at the very minimum...sometimes longer. Police don’t prevent current crimes, they apprehend current criminals, or they investigate current crimes they didn’t prevent to begin with. There are literally volumes of gun control laws on the books that don’t prevent current crimes. Current crimes are prevented by citizens properly armed to protect themselves.
