Why The El Paso Mass Shooting Shouldn't Surprise You
YouTube ^ | Aug 5, 2019 | Colion Noir

Posted on 08/06/2019 9:18:26 AM PDT by real saxophonist

Stop talking about the damn gun, America has always had guns and we didn’t have these problems. The problem is we’ve raised a generation of kids who are entitled, who lack personal accountability, and believe their feelings are the only things that matter and when they explode and kill a bunch of people, instead of demonstrating what personal accountability looks like by blaming the person we blame the gun as if gun drove to El Paso and did the shooting on its own and then wonder why these shootings keep happening.

The internet sure hasn’t helped.

If there was one sick #### out of 10 or 15 friends he could find No one that thought like him, that was a good thing.

When you can search though hundreds of millions of people, you’re gonna find a bunch that tell you what you’re thinking is dandy and even tell you act on it.

“...America has always had guns and we didn’t have these problems....”

A hard, inconvenient FACT that the media and the America-hating Left are ignoring....does not fit their agenda of disarming the LAW ABIDING American public.

“The breakdown of the traditional American family (thank you, transgender, homosexual marriage, and drag queen advocates); fatherlessness, a subject no one discusses or believes is relevant; the ignoring of violent video games; the relaxing of laws against criminals (open borders); the acceptance of recreational marijuana; failed school policies (hello, parents who defend misbehaving students): disrespect to law enforcement (thank you, Obama).”

Good article. I'd add something I've posted repeatedly in the aftermath of all these attacks:

One problem we face is that we simply can’t come to grips with the fact that there are a lot of losers and misfits among us who are incapable of functioning as normal human beings. It’s not a new problem. Human societies have been dealing with it since the dawn of civilization. The only difference is that we think we are too “civilized” to crucify them alongside the major roads or toss them into volcanoes as sacrifices to the gods.

Semiautomatic firearms have been around for more than 100 years. Mass shootings didn’t start until after liberals trashed family values, ruined American cities and ejected God from public life.

And the 24 hour news media doesn’t help except to make names like Dillon and Klebold into heroes and role models for mentally unbalanced people. Many of the mass shooters mimic them in actions and dress.

There are many causes. In my day, we didn’t wear onions on our heads to ride our bicycles. We were told how to be polite and when to. We explored without penalty. The requirements of our parents and society weren’t overly cumbersome. We could fight, get dirty, and tease girls.

We watched violent cartoons on Saturday morning before the liberals made them kinder and sweeter. The ads were for the Mattel M-16 and grenade launchers. We played guns and soldier. We watched Batman, the Green Hornet, The Man From UNCLE, and Star Trek. We knew what men and women were supposed to be. Then came “sex, drugs, and rock and roll.” The Vietnam War ended and things really went to hell.

By the late 1970’s, the largest group of famous mass murderers in history was upon us. You probably know their names. We didn’t have video games. Only the nature of the crimes have changed.

But in my day, no one blamed innocent people for the crimes of these marauders to support a totalitarian political agenda.

I truly believe that people watching thousands of hours of blood-n-guts, shoot-em-up video games desensitize people. They’re being conditioned.

My Father gave me my first two Guns when I was eight Years old, a .22 Bolt Action Rifle and single shot .410 Shotgun.

Kept them both in my Bedroom Closet along with the Ammunition.

Never thought to use either one to harm anyone.

When I wanted to “play” Army with my friends, I had a nice selection of Toy Guns including a cool M1 Carbine and a Tripod Mounted Machine Gun.

In an old interview, Thomas Sowell said we have lost morality and once that's gone all that's left is the police to keep order and there's not that many police. My next thought on that was, who keeps the police moral? If we have police (or any bureaucracy) in charge of determining who shouldn't have a gun, all political dissonance will soon be stripped of their rights to keep a gun.

I’m not sure that psychopaths understand that our society will punish them for mass murder.

I’m not sure that they are capable of understanding that.

Since we won’t put them in asylums, then our next step should be making sure that they understand there are fearful things that will happen to them if the commit mass murder.

Yes, old ladies will get the vapors over this, but which is worse:

1. Multiple murders of innocent people.

2. Some old ladies with the vapors

?

The American people had better wise up and and come the 2020 POTUS election, they better “ALL” vote to destroy the entire Democrat Party politically, forever. Both the current Democrat Party, their list of disgusting Traitor, Turncoat, POTUS candidates and their lock step ally, the USA Media, revel & celebrate with unrestrained glee when mass murder of American innocents, men, women and children alike takes place. Hate seethes from the top to bottom of these incurable America & American haters....the most destructive sick puppies to ever inhabit the greatest of nations (USA) in God’s world. God forbid that one of these Democrat Party, idiot, moron, buffoons ever gets elected POTUS. Just look at the uncontrolled, nutcase, Beto O’Rourke running loose and barking like a mad dog on a leash. Go figure....folks!!!

And when our great POTUS, Donald J. Trump has his next gigantic political campaign rally in Manchester, New Hampshire next week (08/15/2019)...you all better get out and support him by the tens of thousands. Do it New England states!!! Contact: www.donaldjtrump.com for more info & details!!! Go, Trump, MEGA/MAGA!!!
