I think todays culture has a lot to do with it. Along with lack of respect, no dispute resolution skills , not valuing human life.

 

[kptvol1]

Absolutely heart breaking. Our culture in this nation is rotting. Prayers for the families, friends, and entire nation are in order.

This is said by every older generation about every younger generation. There's bigger issues than some mythical Gen whatever differences. Anyways, another horrible tragedy. I hope these families can find some measure of peace.

Prayers to all the families and friends .............


Now. Go hang this dude back behind the jail asap...............

Awful.

If these crazies couldn't get guns so easily they'd have to use rocks or sticks. Certainly would be a lot harder to commit mass murders.

Good Lord.
Unfortunately, bad actors are everywhere.

Unfortunately, as well, our society is both gun-infected and has killing-lust. This is just one more example of it. Sadly, as well, don't expect to see a let up.

Exactly when persons don’t get help for issues they become angry, or depressed.
Suicide can happen or they decide to be destructive with a shooting spree, or some other violent destructive action.

The families finding some form of peace would be great.

I don't know about nationally but in the state of TN you can't just recommend mental health treatment. The patient has to agree to it.

And btw, that's Western State. Thank you very much.

Does that place still exist?

 

[WoodsmanVol]

It's less about mental health than it is about an increasing inability to value human life. All the rest of the stuff is just justification and excuses for that inability. The cherry on top of the mess is a willful discard of the concept of right and wrong.

Exactly when a human can discard the concept of right and wrong a human being can be highly destructive.

Without any value for human life a human won’t have any issue harming a human including murdering a human.

Good grief, Charlie Brown.

Makes me wonder if humans should somehow be surgically implant with the original three Asimovic robotics law.

Gen Z is troubled

Very true, however, the sickness isn't limited to Gen-Z.

I know that’s from I Robot which was a highly successful scientific fiction book before being adapted as a flashy big budget Science Fiction movie set in a awesome looking Futuristic Chicago in 2035.

The (2004)I Robot movie did get things right about the future.
Cars that drive themselves did get created, the whole quick tap debit card or credit card for payment got created, etc.

Its many many levels to what's happening.
It's an epidemic.

It was OK. I prefer sci fi books to movies, especially by the old masters. They foresaw things centuries and multi-decades away. Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke, Heinlein, Huxley, Niven, Anderson, Brin, and the authors of the Berserker Sagas, and Meredith. Some of these things, both the technology and social outcomes, we are seeing the seeds of their appearance even now.

Yep, that would solve everything.

Prayers for all the families who have holes in their lives that will never be filled and a community that now will wrestle with whether they are safe or not for a long period of time.
I weep for the parents who will never hug or hold their children in their arms.
I weep for us, because I do not know how long we will continue to look in the eyes of fathers and mothers and tell them ... that the killer of their baby deserves to live ... when their baby lies cold in the ground.

This is so much bigger than a generational perspective ... this is about the fabric of human society ... this is an ongoing societal educational issue on multiple facets.
It is the diminished or total lack of respect for ALL life. That life, old or young, born and unborn, in every country ...that ALL life is exquisite, precious, invaluable and priceless.
It is the misbegotten enhancement of MY wants, desires and THEIR right to express themselves regardless of consequences.
It is the evolving principle that others are doing it (and doing it broad daylight) that is empowering others to simply do what is right in their own eyes.
Solutions are required on multiple fronts.
We, as parents (and grandparents), are going to need to continue to discipline our children with legitimate safeguards and boundaries AND provide influence and guidance to parents that are NOT providing restraint and empower them to create and enforce boundaries.
We are going to have to reinforce respect for authorities and laws and this comes with a high price.
Finally, with great anguish and much sadness, we are going to have to find it in our hearts to say, "Not all bad actors are allowed a 2nd chance." Some crimes are worth of death...not life in prison. Crimes committed do not receive a get out of jail free card.

Saying "May God be with the families" after he let their kids get shot for no reason is pretty pretentious.

So you easily blame him for the bad things, but do you ever give him credit for any good?
