This is scary as hell!

Bring it in closer fella's.

Teenager in Florida mows down several with a gun.

And, as with robots, WHERE THE HELL WERE THIS KID'S PARENTS ???????

Many kids are pissed off and angry about "whatever" be it just being angry at life in general, or that creepy kind of "death wish" sort of thought process .

PARENTS KNOW. They are VERY MUCH aware, and more often than not can see, and figure out the difference.

If you see it, do something, please.

Sounds like he didn't have parents. His adoptive mother passed away recently.

Willing to bet that some form of antidepressant medication is involved.

Seems to be a common link in these despicable acts.

Ok, so it's all his fault. No skin off my nose.

That's where this whole thing is headed, anyway.

Holy crap, This kids actions will precipitate the biggest bunch of psychobabble bullshit we have seen yet!

Yep, the meds did it.

No accountability for ones own actions at all, that doesn't mean shit. It's all about the poor, poor victim/shooter ....... whatever.


And now we get to deal with all the PTSD insurance claims from all these kids and their parents who "just can't go on with life"

Maybe my reaction is cold, but several kids were shot/stabbed/ beaten up at my HS in the 70's and all of us survivors not only dealt with the terror but we learned to stand up for ourselves, we went on to wed and raise our own kids, become business success's and sometimes failures, live happy and/or sometimes unhappy lives, ...... so many different outcomes at the end of the day.... Yet the fact is, we survived, albeit with hard times and difficulties, just like the generation's behind us, we had to survive just like those before us did.

It's up to YOU to teach your kids to learn to stand up for themselves while being respectful to others, but take no shit for being who they are.

Some antidepressant meds contain warnings about suicidal thoughts, etc. I think they may cause homicidal thoughts also.

There is also a lack of appreciation & disregard for life.

Without knowing the circumstances my initial blame goes to internet/social media etc as the common thread, troubled kids have no where to hide & others that age get off from feasting on their weakness, that impulse doesn't go away appently with so many senior citizens and other dissabled adults that are unloaded upon by caretakers. I see it with waitresses even many can't stand that they are working to bring you Joy. People are mostly selfish and ugly with a few diamonds in the rough sprinkled in. I often drive through my neighborhood that I grew up in, it was built in part to accommodate returning Korean war veterans, it was full of activity and optimism in the 70's & 80's.. now it's run down n I never see kids playing or anyone outside for that matter, it's weird i guess their all living a virtual life online or something.

 

[~JM~]

Please don't get me wrong. I'm not making any excuses. It pisses me off! That liberal cesspool I just escaped from, had three major shooting incidents in the ten years that I was stuck there. Two of which were less than 15 miles from my home. Each one carried out by a mentally unstable snowflake.

 

[~JM~]

About the 3 shootings I mentioned above. Each time it was a young male, no Father figure in their life, lack of guidance & prescribed some form of a "behavioral medication".

This kid's math teacher from last year said "There is nothing surprising here."

Nothing more needs to be said in his defense.

So very sad for all involved.

Well, that was a highjack.

Up until a few years ago, I was of the same mentality. Excuses, excuses. It's all in their heads. Then I had the occasion to have to work with a few of these people in a different scenario. Without the meds, the person was off and I mean way off--- One was almost vegetative. Others, hyper aggressive. Once the meds were right it was night and day. Their physical features even seemed to change. Super weird.

Anyway, not downplaying that people seem to accept no responsibility for their actions or that they always want to place blame elsewhere. Not the case with me. Just saying that pharmaceuticals really do work and if they are wrong or not being properly used, people can snap and kill themselves or others.

I also remember the days when people would be mindful of running their mouths lest they get beat down. But if you caught a beating, you'd learn the lesson and live to fight another day. Seems like these days the kids are emulating the garbage they are fed on tv and social media. It truly does feel like the beginning of the end.

Yeah, and the robots are hella creepy too. (Gotta figure that no one shows you the "good stuff" - the cutting edge stuff. General Public sees the old stuff that's alreay been copied by our enemies.) Now, wonder what they really have???

JACKPOT !!!

These little snowflakes wouldn't survive a week in my old Jr. High, or High School. I'm fairly certain the schools that I attended were very mild compared to some big city schools. Hell... The Jr. High Principal was still able to swing the big wood paddle.

I said these very things in post #25.

"R" rated movies were "kinda" hard to sneak into back then, too.

The violence and gore were absolutely NOTHING compared to todays "teen" rated games

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Basketball_Diaries_(film)

After the 1997 Heath High School shooting, activist Jack Thompson brought this film into a $33 million lawsuit in 1999 claiming that the film's plot (along with two internet pornography sites, several computer game companies, and makers and distributors of the 1994 film Natural Born Killers) caused 14-year-old Michael Carneal to shoot members of a prayer group. The case was dismissed in 2001.[5][6]

The film became controversial in the aftermath of the Columbine High School massacre and the Heath High School shooting, when critics noted similarities between these shooting attacks and a dream sequence in the film in which the protagonist wears a black trenchcoat and shoots six classmates in his school classroom. The film has been specifically named in lawsuits brought by the relatives of murder victims.[7][8][9][10]

I've not seen the movie, but I've heard about it many times.

The dream sequence movie I believe is from basketball diaries. The Jim carol story. I own both movies and think there great. But even a a teenager when those movies came out. I was still able to comprehend that they were just movies. People are freaking amazing.

So true!

Used to be if a vehicle with a bunch of cameras and sensors all over it was cruising in your neighborhood, people would freak out wondering what hell the government was up to............

They put a Google sticker on the damn thing and now everybody smiles and waves............

Except the blurred out areas where google has seemingly caught misdeeds in progress. I’ve heard rumors as to why this is ranging from shootings, man being caught cheating on his wife with another woman and more. Unreal though if you think about it. Google map your address and see what you were doing the day the google mobile came to town.

Wow! How did this thread go from robots to meds, bad video games and mass shootings?

The problem is what these children grow up with / are allowed to see and the total decay of the Family Unit in American Society. Take God and Prayer out of schools and you get a GODLESS Society. And the results aren’t pretty.

Then the politicians instantly want to invent some damn new legislation (WHEN NONE OF THE 100’s OF LAWS THE PERPETRATOR BROKE ARE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION)! And then none of the law enforcement agencies are held accountable when the evidence is quite clear that they had actionable intel to take this kid off the street. And yet nothing was done.

Hell, I see little dope head kids posting pics of weed, money, guns and you can’t get anybody to act on it. Because they’re too scared of being sued or losing their jobs! WTF? Does anyone have any balls left these days? Or are they all unics??

You wanna stop terrorist? Go after their families and make the hangings / beheadings public! As that will stop these fools from doing this crap real quick. Consequences for actions is what it takes. And since you can’t whip the loud mouths ass anymore for fear of being sued, then we have become a litigious and lawless society. And there is no reason for it whatsoever.

When I was in high school, 74 - 78, we kept guns (long guns, shot guns and pistols) on a rack in the back window of our pickups AT SCHOOL because we often went out into the desert and target shot or hunted. That's back when our parents told us "Get to school, don't come home until the street lights come on."

None of us shot our friends or shot up a school, a church, a movie theater or a Safeway grocery store.

In that time guns have not changed and the right to gun ownership has not and SHOULD NOT have changed.

Society has changed.

THAT, my friends, is what needs to be addressed.
