You prefer a cold-blooded murderer who wanted to incite a race war to an outspoken American? That says a lot.
Shame that some don't see the connection between the breakdown of the family, the moral decline and the immunity to suffering and the increased violence.
Think about what we have today that we didn't have decades ago. The great welfare state and expanding government trying to think for people. Personal responsibility flying out the window and people believing they are owed something because they are victims.
The guy who did the shooting felt he was a victim. He didn't get the attention he thought he deserved and went off the deep end. He was taught he was special just for existing and when he grew up and found out he wasn't so special, he couldn't handle it.
There are more and more individuals who simply do not mature mentally. No one challenges them or even disciplines them. Maybe if we worried more about teaching children to eventually become independent instead of giving them gold stars for getting dressed in the morning, they would grow up to be responsible adults. Now, they're taught that they are entitled to a good life and it's someone else's fault if they don't get it.
The kid was miserable and blamed his mom and the school. He wanted everyone to be miserable.
Political correctness stifles people. It's gone too far. Like it or not, people have a right to say what they want, or at least used to, and mature people knew to ignore them. People these days kill others over words and sometimes people can get fired or arrested over words. Hate speech?
Don't insult Muslims, they will kill you. Don't insult gangs, like New BP, or they will threaten to kill you. You are always wrong because you used your words in a way they didn't like.
The Fort Hood shooter wasn't vilified by the media. They made it sound like society created him, probably because someone hurt his Muslim feelings.
No one has any good reason to murder innocents. Evil people will always do evil by any means necessary, yet we can't ban every conceivable means of carrying out an attack.
There are a lot of idiots on both sides of the political fence, though only one side seems to be held accountable for their words and deeds. When I see an administration move this quickly to further their gun control agenda, I know they are striking while the iron is still hot and people are still in too much shock to realize that the government is really trying to trample rights. And it's not even a real solution, just another move toward the fundamental transformation of America using a tragedy.
