Yes, and another sad thing is that while the economy is said to be up, care and concern for others seems to be down. Yessss, there are caring actions by some, but few are taught the love, caring, and concern necessary for happy family lives. And, as we see, children are neglected and harmed by thoughtless parents. It's pretty easy to have a child. And it's the thing to do with so many who are capable of having children. They just gotta have children.
I can’t think of a single sensational mass shooter who engaged because of economic reasons.
Nothing seems to indicate a lack of love, care and concern.
I'm figuring if parents look around in their children's rooms, they might have been able to help them. Maybe. But those kids who commit suicide are not well protected or provided for emotionally. I believe parents should be in control at least as to what the children in the household have in their possession. But we know that many parents allow violent video games, drugs and other things. While sad, it's the way things are.
That parents of teens know what’s going on in the lives and head of their teen offspring is an ILLUSION.
It is nearly impossible for a parent to imagine their child would be capable of mass shooting.
Tens of millions of people play violent video games all over the world.
Tens of millions of people engage in recreational drugs.
Most mass shooters are not under the influence. Nor do they have a history of using hard drugs that can cause permanent brain damage with prolonged use.
Why do you doubt it? Just by having more people working, the less mischief there is. The more people working the need to steal, to provide, lessons. People do dumb things when their back is to the wall and they have nothing.
Parents depended on each other so they stuck it out. Nowadays they can just leave and have government provide easily. Work 20 hours a week and one can get food stamps. Work 25 hours a week is too much to qualify for the food stamps. The incentive is gone. It happens enough.
Overwhelmingly, able bodied and able minded people should be working instead of being on welfare.
Nothing to do with this or any other sensational mass shooting with high victim counts.
The only mass shooter in the last 20 years who was possibly schizophrenic was graduate student James Holmes, the Aurora, Colorado movie theater (Batman) shooter. And his parents said they did not know that he was as severely ill as he apparently was.
BTW, Holmes is still alive. As is Jared Loughner, the Tucson (Gabrielle Giffords) shooter, among several others.
Schizophrenia is a spectrum.
Schizophrenia tends to emerge ( symptoms are detected by others) in males during their late teens- early 20’s.
Less obvious symptoms often begin to present with the onset of puberty.
It is extremely challenging to diagnose a teen with a specific form of mental illness, given cognitive and emotional immaturity.
Most who are diagnosed with Schizophrenia are not violent.
Stop the NRA Bash. NRA started out helping black people get guns, then kept the government in line with the 2A. What is so wrong with an inalienable right to bear arms. As many as you want...Only leftys wine about having too many guns..They are tools for different jobs..
And you do know there are more pro 2A groups out there.
No I won't stop the NRA bash, just hearing last night about the family killed by their father in San Diego, 3-4 children, their mother and could be the father killed himself...it was late and I'm sure it will be all over the news today.
The more guns from the NRA, the more family deaths and deaths all over the world.....Sick society.
Now maybe there is some secret code language about guns but as far as seeing how many ads.....ZILCH!
Even, perhaps, before this notice, there weren't that many. I guess back in 2012, when I had more disposable cash for such, I looked for guns, Uzis, on Craigslist.......and they just weren't there.
Yes, there is ( I figured people knew that), drug dealers have been doing this for years on Craigslist. back in the days I was using, I bought from these guys sometimes and their ads were actually in the tools and hardware section, they word them in a way so users will recognize it (its very simple and effective), it also lets them weed out any 'unwanted' attention, same thing with selling guns this way.
I wonder if the kid was taking prescribed mood altering drugs. That seems to be the common denominator in this mass killings.
I believe the gun is the common denominator in these mass shootings.
