He was "popular" - in a high social profile family - dad was the basketball coach at his Indiana high school. He had a degree and a job at a bank, after a couple of internships at the same bank. Seemingly on the road to success. But ... he still had mental health/emotional health issues, and even had the best available care for that - he was seeing a psychiatrist and taking the prescribed meds. No other signs of violence. CTE? Meds? Satan?
And he still got a gun LEGALLY (doesn't really matter what kind - he was legal to buy ANY legal weapon, despite his current mental treatments).
So do we err on the side of protecting/allowing liability for (1) gun industry, (2) drug industry, (3) mental health industry, (4) all, or write it off as the occasional price we pay for having a free society?
Can we REALLY expect/anticipate that our legislatures/legislators can fix any problem other than running for re-election? Do YOU envision a Congress or state house changing ANY law to address ANY part of this problem? Nope - they're busy shooting the wrong ball.
Our cell phones/social media have increased the participation of the mean, the dishonest, and the violent in our society. They used to hide from society - now they rule and abuse the good people. How do we fix that?
Hell, I'm starting to long for Carter's Malaise, but even his "human rights heart" is not long for this world.
Billy Graham is dead.
Ronald Reagan is dead.
Jimmy Carter is on his last legs.
We have nothing left but polarizing politics and violence.
