“Lack of bonding with the family”

Earlier John Miller reported Nancy divorced a long time ago and Adam lived with her and Ryan lived with the dad in NJ.

Our culture is probably the worst in the “developed” world.

Agreed. Raised four and keeping them out of the common culture and then teaching them to protect themselves from it was the hardest job of parenting.

and yet there is a couple of freerpers who think it;s too early to talk and point about how the left has forced their liberal failed culture onto kids and parents not being with kids.

the mind boggles

we have a problem in our culture, lack of respect and all and we have many parents who do not raise their own children , regardless of this shooting.

The left have given us decades of a failed all about me culture and that is wht we have this crap now instead of decades ago

thank you for understand what I was pointing to.

I hear many who never bother with their kids today, never sit down at dinner, never talk about what is right and wrong.

I have over-broadened the list to include bombers, but the main thrust should be on “school shootings.” Can we find an example of a non-young white male school shooting?

No surprise the parents were divorced.

Which of course is NOT to say that every child who grew up in a broken home will become a mass murderer.

But if you look into the backgrounds of mass murderers, chances are their parents were divorced early on, or never married.

“Considering how rancid and depraved American culture has become, I’m sometimes surprised there aren’t “more” incidents like these.”

And who is it that is responsible for that? The very ones who want to take away all guns. They are the ones who push Godlessness on this nation every day. The cultural left.

Why have most of these tragedies only occurred recently? ,, Repeating firearms have existed for over 150 years – the Colt revolver for example. ,, Why didn’t those kinds of massacres occur 150… 120.. 100 years ago?

__________________________

There were mass killings, many of them. Wild towns and cities on the frontier with angry wars beteen peoples. Mass killings of indians and settlers, mass killings of criminals on rampage, masss killings of people being robbed, whole train full or wagon train ful.

You just dont have enough informaion.

“Young White males are seriously neglected and ignored, or doped up because they’re ancy, or pu$$ified ad nauseum. They grow into rebels, nerds, gays, etc. It’s the fortunate who make it through young adulthood without being socially castrated.”

It is everybody else’s fault but theirs.

Little third grader being interviewed and questioned by phone on Fox. Sorry, but I think this is beyond inappropriate.

Brings to mind the idiot reporter who got decked at the end of the first "Die Hard".

I went to elementary school in the 50s. You never heard of deranged nutcases going on a shooting spree hardly anywhere.

That's because, in 1955, there were over two million deranged nutcases locked up for life in state mental hospitals, where they belonged.

Now, when there are a LOT more crazy people, the state hospital population is around ten thousand.

Until we start practicing nut control, gun control is fruitless.

I predict, right here, that the shooter (whoever he turns out to be) was 1) known to be crazy, 2) known to put people in fear, 3) known to the authorities, and 4) that no one did anything.

got that right

My oldest is 15 and I meet his pals eevry day and they prefer to come over here where I treat them with respect and they treat me with respect.
I treat them as rugged boys, not the mamby pamby crap we see today and they have told me how they wished they had a father or a father who was like this.

My youngest and in between tell me how their mothers raise their kids, how they have to give ice and a band aid all the time and then we wonder why boys today grow up, become victims, become pansy men, think the world owes them and when they don;t get their own way they throw a baby fit
