Police think they 'know' he is a Vet...PTSD?
Like the wild west... where is my horse and six shooter?)
More guns, more killings

So very sad.. This almost is not news anymore, It is not fair to blame the guns. They very seldom act alone.

Well, you can't always tell when you're selling a guy a gun that he is unbalanced. And he might not get unbalanced until later.

Less help for our vets, more killings.

More corruption at the VA, more killings.

More waste, fraud and abuse at the VA, more killings.

Longer waits for vets to get the care they need, more killings.

Very sad indeed. I'm thinking we need to figure out why some in our society think killing others is a solution to their problems. And as tragic as these shootings are they make up a very small percentage of deaths in our country.

I notice that nobody is posting about how long his dad was in his life or the culture of his neighborhood.

Both very good reasons , but too early to tell in this case.

I don't think that is the point of the post. There is a very clear agenda in the OP.

Jeez. Can't the white community get a grip on all of these multiple shootings from their mentally unbalanced people??

Where are the "leaders" who handle this sort of thing?

That doesn't count for this race of people, you didn't know that ?!?!?! (Oh, I'm sure you did.)


What a sad situation.


But I'm sure it'll be made a societal issue, an individual issue or a mental awareness issue, just like all the other times.
