Right?
I think you have to give a sizeable portion of blame to society. And, I'm not just blaming the current administration. We have been on a decline of (for lack of a better word) morals and sound judgment for quite a while. I think now we are seeing the effects of that decline. What happened to responsibility and accountability and moral fiber? Why are these kids growing up without the ability to cope with difficult situations in life? Why is it so simple for people to flip-out one day and do unthinkable things to innocent people? Some people are just wired wrong, but I think these people are conditioned by society wrong.
As disturbing as these events have been, to me the most disturbing thing of all is the fact that we don't know who to blame and how to do something about it so it doesn't happen again.
Very sad
