I mean, every month it seems someone goes out and kills a dozen people and then offs themselves. We are not a peaceful nation. Not to others, and not to ourselves.
Well there is something going on with young adults these days.
They can't just take their own lives anymore..they have to have public revenge as well taking out strangers before taking their own lives.
The big question is why ? Why is this happening ?
One article I read called it "social revenge" and the more public, the more innocent the victims are, the bigger the impact.
That shooter today was only 20..barely reached adult age and had no problem shooting down 5 year old children.
If the media speculation can be trusted the shooter lived with his mother. I was long gone from home at 20. Unemployment of white 20+'s is over 40% for blacks over 95%. I had more job opportunities as a young black teenager than now with multiple IT certifications and decades of experience. Why is this happening?? You really have to ask? We haven't seen anything yet.
The only one that compares is the Fort Hood Shooting, except he didnt get to martyr himself.
Our society has become the Cult of Personality personified.
