White Males

I just responded to BAR with a suggestion:

There seems to be one common denominator that these deranged people
exhibit. They all seem to be looking for their day in the spotlight
... to be noticed and recognized. Most commit suicide knowing that
their name and existence will become known to the nation.
It's not a difficult stretch to conclude that the recognition and
notoriety that one person gets leads to other unstable people doing
similar things.

So, let's stop publicizing their names and the details of their
actions, problems and lives in the media. Stop giving them the
attention that motivated them to begin with. Having cable news
networks commit 5 days of non-stop coverage, analysis, "expert"
reports and investigation does nothing but encourage the next nut to
become famous.


Like I've said before, Richard. "Too many talking heads!"


It's the fault of everyone other than our violent society, the gun
manufacturers, the free and easy availability of military style weapons,
our refusal to provide mental health care for those who need it, and
everyone else the NRA can push this off onto, eh?


Our violent society? How about our violent world.

By your logic, or lack thereof, people should not go swimming in the
ocean because there be killer sharks there and the only way we can
protect ourselves from the ocean dwelling killer sharks is to stay on
land.
