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

Well said. Except who to blame. We as a nation have degraded the traditional family unit, morality and individual responsibility. Thing's that would have been unacceptable in my parents generation are now considered normal." The self centered" , were all victims , there should be a law society has come to fruition . The social re-engineering leftist where anything goes but accountability has arrived. Play today pay tomorrow, I can be an immoral pig without shame, have six children from six different fathers, receive free food, housing, health care by having the state steal it from somebody else because their greedy pigs society has arrived. It use to be we had to make good choices because we suffered the consequences if they were the wrong choices". Our institutions have taught our kids that everyone gets a trophy and we are all winners without any sacrifice. When these darling children grow up and realize the world doesn't care about crybaby feelings only about what they can accomplish its no wonder they go off the deep end. They don't know anything except the world was unfair to them so these selfish acts of evil occur.The left understands this and has gained incredible power from this indoctrination. So we blame the inanimate object "a gun" instead of the parenting ,schooling or individual for the murders. Don't worry the government knows best and will take care of us. Dig in , the years ahead are going to be hell.
