He was a man before his time. He saw what humanity is capable of, both for the good and the bad. Shame they don't teach this is public education. But then we wouldn't be indoctrinating people to be sheep either.If more people knew what liberalism(new age, not classical) is and how Marxism is the driving force, then more people would move away from it. But as it is said, many don't want to think, just let someone else do the thinking for them.The only problem is that the parent was negligent and/or just stupid and had a gun that they did not secure with the safety lock, so how are you going to Legislate against Individual Stupidity? You cannot.
Correct.
Liberals never seem to accept responsibility. Whether it's an unwanted pregnancy, drunk driver, illegal immigration or an isolated gun tragedy.
They will always blame the object when it suits their pro government oppression agenda.
Look how little they said about the shooter in the recent Stoneman Douglas Florida shooting.
The Left media gave probably 2,000 hours of air time to the OBJECT (gun), but I can only recall a few minutes placing the blame on the shooter. Much less if any on the liberal Progressive agenda that created him.
As I have said on numerous occasions, there is no fix for the USA that involves the acceptance of Liberal / Progressive agendas.
They are completely opposite the ethics and foundation of the nation.
Their cause is to "fundamentally" change it into something else. They recently succeeded in Venezuela.
The Road to Serfdom - WikipediaThe Road to Serfdom (German: Der Weg zur Knechtschaft) is a book written between 1940 and 1943 by Austrian British economist and philosopher Friedrich von Hayek, in which the author "[warns] of the danger of tyranny that inevitably results from government control of economic decision-making through central planning."[1] He further argues that the abandonment of individualism and classical liberalism inevitably leads to a loss of freedom, the creation of an oppressive society, the tyranny of a dictator, and the serfdom of the individual. Hayek challenged the general view among British academics that fascism (including National Socialism) was a capitalist reaction against socialism. He argued that fascism, National Socialism and socialism had common roots in central economic planning and empowering the state over the individual.

I did not know that many in the American nation know of Friedrich Hayek, have you read many of his works? I recommend "The Constitution of Liberty" published in 1960, Hayek correctly in his philosophy says that Civilisation is only made possible by the fundamental principles of Liberty, which are the prerequisites for wealth and economic and social growth.
It is a lengthy book, but I specifically want to mention Part I the Chapter V in which Hayek writes about Responsibility and Freedom:
"Liberty not only means that the individual has both the opportunity and the burden of choice, it also means that he must bear the consequences of his actions … Liberty and responsibility are inseparable.
A society that does not recognize that each individual has values of his own which he is entitled to follow can have no respect for the dignity of the individual and cannot really know freedom."

This is only the second time at this forum I have seen someone post regarding him and only the second time at this forum I have responded to a post regarding him.
The first occasion of this Sept 21 2016:

He died in 1992 when I was 2 years in age and he was 92 years in age, so unfortunately I never had the honour of meeting such a genius but my family members who met and knew him the ones still living have told me what excellent company Hayek was and also that he had a bizarro sense of humour that I would have appreciated.
Here are some quotes from Hayek, I have chosen the below specific quotes because there are of course very relevant to this contemporary period we are in:

^^^^ The nine year old perp is Black, his dead sister is Black, so there is only a mention of their mother no mention of any father in that household, but but but as the parent ie. mother is Black are Leftists still saying she is stupid because she left a gun without it's safety lock on in the close proximity of her nine year old son, I ask because according to Leftists if you say Blacks are stupid that is racist, so the new excuse now is what? Is it Muh Slave Trade that ended more than 200 years ago so this is Evil Whitey's fault or what is the new excuse to excuse Blacks NOT having Personal Responsibility?
