Why...the question never answered.

[zeemike]

And already I have heard the talking heads say..."we may never know why this guy shot those people"
Same for the Columbine massacre....the investigators and the media never asked or answered why the did it...but the reasons were from their own mouths....they were being bullied by the jocks. But the media never told us that...and had no intentions of ever telling us that...just blew it off as crazy kids.
And I suspect this latest in Colorado will be the same...no looking at the reason why.
It is not the guns...the guns just makes it easier and more efficient and you can ban them all you want but it will not get to the bottom of why we have all these angry people.

And those people that have read the bible know why...because Jesus was also a prophet who talked about the latter times and he said why
"Because inequities abound, the love of many will wax cold"
And so it is today.

2. That doesn't surprise me.

Now we will see how far that gets in the media.

3. People want to be famous.

If they have no talent, no good ideas on how to improve life for others on the globe, and only desire to be 'known' all they have to do is grab a gun and commit mass murder and their names will be known. He'll have to settle for infamy instead of fame, but people are finally giving him the attention he always wanted.

Assault rifles do not belong in the hands of individuals. You can't hunt with them and it is overkill to own one for 'personal protection' so it all boils down to the lobbying power of the NRA. Fuck them.

4. Much of that is true

But it does not get to the root cause....ask why they want to be famous so bad that they will settle for infamy.
And it really does all boil down to love...or the lack of it...people who feel loved and don't have the same drive for fame...and certainly do not want infamy.
Inequity is the root of it and causes love to turn cold....In my opinion.

5. I agree.

There are layers and layers of alienation in every story that ends this way. Love is all you need. I'm a believer.
