How about Norway where a gunman killed 85? Germany, Russia, Finland, Spain, Australia and Italy, are they developed countries? Guess ignorance is bliss for some.

You're comparing gun violence here with the rest of the world and think it's on a par? OK.

and we're still going to be told it's a lone wolf. Even though we know the Boston Bombers were influenced by individuals on the net. This young man is a victim of the MIC. From the poppy fields to the television set. Sickening. |

http://news.discovery.com/history/ma...ory-121220.htm Every generation looks at the next one and says we are screwed. Whether it was women voting, rock n roll, or facebook, some point and blame. in many ways we are better off than ever. The good old days included polio, smallpox and no antibiotics. there have always been mentally ill folks and bizarre behavior. What we as a nation need to do is treat mental illness as the health issue it is. The therapist of the colorado shooter was concerned, so he called the shooters mother. Wtf? Better he could have called a hospital and had the guy admitted. in louisiana, they just watered down a measure that would have prevented people with stalking records and domestic violence from getting a gun. Again, wtf? This guy seemed a nut, who was fed a lot of hate from god knows where. It was a lethal combination.

That's a good question especially considering what happened to Freddie Gray. Why is it that the Baltimore Sun can still do decent research about how Freddie and his sister lived in a building that was covered in lead paint and they were basically poisoned for years leading to a myriad of health problems including severe mental deficiencies? Instead what we get is a blatant overlook of that article and a witch hunt. And I believe this has more to do with the media protecting their favorite team in the false left-right paradigm game. How is it in a country hyper-focused on making certain individuals pay dearly for their behavior and negligence that the landlord of Freddie's childhood home is getting a pass when laws about lead in homes have been on the books since the early 70's? It goes much deeper than merely gun control. Sorry I got testy it's just I'm tired of the narrative. It needs to change. |

![]() Back on topic kinda went off the rails there but that part of the Freddie Gray case has bothered me immensely. It's, imho, the greatest crime of all.
Now about this incident. How many 21 year old chili bowl southern boys you know that are hip to apartheid and Rhodesia? Lone wolf? Pfffffffft. |

On the shooting side, whether it's mental illness (Sandy Hook), racial overtone (this horrific mess in South Carolina), socially disengaged (Columbine) or economic/familial distress (workplace shootings anywhere), there are bigger root causes at play far beyond the gun control part of the equation. (And when have I ever not assuaged your testiness?)

![]() I'm not looking to debate what the President said.. The bigger issue that I'm reacting to is how as a country there hasn't been any coherent attempt to figure out how to practically address a problem that goes on and on and on. That's all.

The chart is outdated by 2 years old but simple math, provided the USA has a population of 319 million, extrapolates the above number that we are fortunately way short of. Again feelings over facts usually isn't a good way to handle statistics.

we have police operating based on race, a city who used the black populace as a source of funding, and now a tragedy in one church, and apparently an attempt at another in richmond. but yeah, let's pretend there's no issue. let's listen to pundits saying it's religion, and people running for office who say this was an attack on religion. even tho the guy said what he said...nah, not racist. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer...-churches.html
