Funny how this doesn't happened in other countries where the population doesn't have as much guns as the USA?
Maybe get rid of the guns like they did in Australia or New Zealand after the first mass shooting.
All the assessments so far missed the mark. I went to church for years as a kid across the street from where this happened. It's the hood and it has been for years. It was the hood before cannabis was even a thing. That church has repeatedly had the gas tanks on their church vans drilled into and the gas siphoned out.
Colorado Springs has had a long history of above average domestic abuse and violence. That's what this shooting falls under, not Jared Polis, not a mass shooting of random violence, not incel on the loose...
Colorado Springs is a military town. That section of the city is largely populated by current or former Army members who don't have much money (despite the now absurd home prices). Some people go into the military with problems, some people see horrible stuff and come out with problems, but the result is a lot of people fall through the cracks and end up homeless or resorting to violence to those related to them, more so than places not so entwined with the military.
I thought Colorado being one of the first states to pass recreational marijuana would make people more mellow
Guess you were wrong.
It has much more to do with raising an entire generation of kamikazes. Do you think a kamikaze would have been any less radical had he smoked dope before hopping in the cockpit of the A6M?
Colorado has for decades struggled with mental health problems and has largely refused to do much about it. Living at high elevation with thinner air, long winters and relatively short days for the entire population that's tucked up against the Rockies...that'll do funny things to a person's mind and psyche. Having lived there for 24 years and gotten out, life there is not the golden heaven so many people make it out to be. Coloradans on the surface are generally polite and courteous, but Colorado culture is absolutely toxic, pretentious, and poisonous in many aspects, particularly with regard to mental health and a near obsession with 2A. This is evident by the rather large share of mass shooting events over the last 30 years.
California more closely resembles a direct democracy than it does an autocracy.
