If you don't come up with a causation no matter what you do, YOU WILL NOT STOP THE MAYHEM.

How many times does this need to be said before people get it?

As it stands the American people do not want to find the answer they would rather live in denial and suffer the consequences, and then whine about it.

Frightening to agree with Tabs, but I do. Until we are willing to focus on what is turning the screws on our society, ever-tightening the vise, then we will never get to the root cause. But that's not a conversation that many in our society, particularly those in the public eye, have the balls to lead.


Also, armed school resource officers are such a no-brainer at this point I can't believe we need to discuss it. We can put multiple cops on-duty at the shopping mall but can't put one in each high school? This also must be a state thing, because most of the high schools that I am aware of in KS already have armed resource officers, and have since I was in high school 20 years ago.
