Why?
What in the hell? I want to know what kind of nation we live in where there can be multiple mass killings in a week and they have become so common place that people barely bat an eye.
What kind of society have we created that people treat violence like they are watching a movie? You cannot kill 13 people and yourself then hit the power button, reload the game and try again.
There has to be an end to this insanity. We as a nation need to stand up and start noticing what is going on around us. The neighbors of the man who shot all 5 of his children and later himself, said they heard him screaming at his children often and had called CPS several times. It makes me wonder what CPS found when they investigated.
Some blowhole was on CNN last night saying these things happen back to back because people see the coverage on television and it is easy to then see oneself in that scenario, killing random innocent people as a way to take control back of their life. Bullshit. Never once have I watched the coverage and thought hey I could pull that off. Every single time I see something so shocking and violent I get sad, then mad and I wonder what the hell went on in that killers mind.
We all as mankind need to stand together and stop allowing these things to happen. Stop romanticizing mayhem and murder on television, on the big screen and in video games. There is not reset button for real life.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
I just want to add....nothing....you said it all girl!
Well said. Just remember, in our society, you would never show a woman nursing a baby on TV, that's way more offensive.
Amen, sister.
I agree! Shocking, sad commentary on us as humans. I worked in a prison for 25 years and I NEVER, ever became numb to the violence that we humans do to one another. Appalling, senseless! Lisa
sick, sick things going on - we can't do much about the earthquakes and floods, but the mass murders? that seems like somthing we should be able to control. great post!
