collateral damage. You reap what you sow.

People who do not have good coping skills when under ongoing stress have a tendency to snap.

All the authorities can say is that we will enact more regulations, and laws "to see" that this doesn't happen again...Well good luck with that....you can not legislate morality nor ethics... these laws have been enacted and they time and again have FAILED.

The old adage is that you are CRAZY if you keep doing the same thing over and over and thinking that it will work this time.

It is LEADERSHIP FAILURE...they are INCAPABLE of understanding the problem or lack the courage to address the issue. The issue is not facing oneself in the mirror and recognizing ones own heart of darkness (capability to act violently) Americans think that using violence is the means by which one solves/vents their problems/anger..just watch any movie or TV program (which represents a symptom and is not causation).

Applying "Rule of Law" is a prescription for FAILURE. Evermore so when Rule of Law is being circumnavigated ever more so by the elites and institutions themselves. So we come to the unraveling of society that is a symptom of evermore economic stresses...

The root cause is that Americans have sold their souls for some cheap and gaudy ephemeral materialistic trinkets. The reckoning is terrible, the price to buy back your soul will be commensurate to the excesses that you have committed. That is the cost of restoring equilibrium or just the way it is done in the kingdom of heaven if you are of that mind.

So if you should think Ohh God why has this befallen me I have done nothing..it is that you have chosen not to see...and that in of itself is NO Excuse.. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Man up Boy, looking horrified only makes you look foolishly stupid. Kinda like a sheep standing on a hill side right after the wolves have grabbed the sheep next to you for tonight's dinner.

What we have here is a Failure of cognitive introspection.

COOKIE SHEET DEEP...

When people have sold their souls they just don't want to know... They turn their heads away..Just ask any good German.

And yet the media will benefit from this. As they always do when human suffering and tragedy occurs.

Like vultures.......

Identity is out, my guess this will be one of the three or four AR14-100 round clip shootings that the terrorist white guys do.

I'm thinking marital and/or money problems coupled with frustration at work. Probably a new woke environment attacking the boomer white guy with all his privilege's.

Very sad, I wish the victims and their families peace.

You know tabs, I am generally one of the few that don't think you are a crack pot with your posts and predications.

But this is one of the fuking stupidest posts ever. Yes up there with Corgi, Ziggy, Webb and others.

America and Americans have succeeded in a lot. Yes there has been failure but rarely is there success without a lot of failure.
