@George-K Madness does not preclude intelligence.

[Jolly]

BTW, was it ever determined if he was Antifa or a sympathizer?

Fucked up

Yes, but the thought of disguising yourself as a woman vagina owner menstruating person ovary owner someone who would blend in was probably a good idea.

Worked for Jeff Davis, right Jolly?

[jon-nyc]

Shit parents.

Not as I remember.

Ugh. Just read about a bloodstained toddler found among his dead parents. He’s unhurt but orphaned by this whack job.

The interviews I heard this morning indicated that he didn't seem to have a political ideology.

One more time...

We've always had firearms. We've had magazine fed, centerfire, semi-autos readily available since the early 1900's for pistols and the 1950's for rifles.

Why have mass shootings become so commonplace today?

[Mik]

Isolation and powerlessness.

[Catseye3]

Overcrowding. Cumulative effects of poor nutrition creating brain imbalances not readily apparent to outsiders until -- boom.

[Doctor Phibes]

Why do mass shootings appear to be so much more common in the USA?

I know there are examples of it happening elsewhere, but it certainly seems like this is particularly a problem here.

It seems like this is an important question to ask. Other countries have isolation, overcrowding, poor nutrition and so on.

I only could stand about 4 minutes of it, but Carlson went on a rant blaming Prozac and other SSRIs.

Yeah, there isn't a single topic in the world that guy isn't a fucking expert on.

Yeah, but sometimes he's right.

Is he right about the drugs?

I have no idea, and I probably know as much as he does about these drugs. Actually, a little more, as I do have personal experience with them.

Why should I listen to Tucker Carlson any more than I should listen to, say, some loudmouth guy down the shops?

Gun culture. America kind of grew up with guns. Maybe guns are in our DNA. That is, when frustration arises, Americans are quicker to look to their guns as problem solvers than other countries or cultures, because guns have always been there.

That's clearly one answer. There might be other things, too.

I would say so, but much of the rural South is awash in firearms. I'm not talking two or three, I'm talking eight or ten, common. Twenty doesn't even raise an eyebrow.

Because he talks to few million more people than the guy down at the shops and he has hordes fact-checking every word out of his mouth.

And to put it very bluntly, if you don't think we have a problem medicating children at the rate we are now, you are simply not aware of the problem or are choosing to willfully ignore it.

I think that the over-medication problem is a fact. The question is whether it is a contributing factor to mass shootings.
