Criminal Deeds

Are you thinking of Anders Breivik in Norway?

Yes. should have double checked, sorry about that. Nowhere near as sorry as the parents of those kids, I imagine.

There are enough loonies in this country that people arm themselves as a precaution. You blame the arrow, but I blame the Indian.

And is the United States uniquely endowed with an abundance of lunatics?

Actually, yes, I think there is, but it is probably more accurate to say "people with behavior disorders" rather than "lunatics." Or loonies. Depends on how deeply you want to look into this.

Acting out has been rewarded in this society for quite a long time. Likewise, there is a sustained inundation of our cultural background noise with violence as a resolution to conflict or unresolved conflict. It is a particularly American trait, and it isn't getting any better with the amount of a pass the gang and prison culture gets, and how it spreads. That's only the latest pathology, there was plenty before that arrived.

The Indian, not the Arrow.

I find it almost curious how myopic people get in attempting to analyze what is going on, particularly people from the outside. It's not your problem, and yet you are full of free and useless advice about it.

Kindly piss off.
All of you. (This isn't personally directed at you, Jester, but it is collectively addressed to all of the non Americans who think they have some sort of answer. You don't.)

Whatever answer we come up with (if we do, collectively) will have to be made in America. Get over it. Your opinion isn't worth considering.
