Schools of Death

There was another school shooting today. This time in West Palm Beach, FL. Schools have become the place to catch bullets, just like hospitals are the place to catch germs.

My overall assessment is that there's too many evil, sick people in the U.S.A., and too many guns. Mixing guns with nut bags creates dangerous results.

Of course, we know that the U.S. Congress will do nothing. There's many things they could do to ensure reasonable gun control in this country, but they won't. They are almost as sick as the psychos who murder people, and they do share some of the responsibility.

As for the good ol' USA, hey, this is the place to die.

First there was the Columbine massacre in 1999. The generation that followed has grown up with the idea that the unthinkable is now thinkable. With every school shooting, the idea of a brief glory and a quick killing spree is embedded in the brains of little male punks who can't cope with life. Perhaps they had a bad home environment or were picked on in school. They don't have good coping mechanisms.

The press does us no favors. They interview the survivors and they tell the "story" of the victim and it almost becomes glamorous. Little Johnny was a loner who posted pictures of automatic weapons on his Facebook page. Little Johnny was always angry. Poor Little Johnny.

Sadly, the school massacres are so common that we've all gotten used to them. It's just another event on the news. We've become numb. In a few days the episode will be forgotten, except for the one school that was terrorized by the shooting. But people will just move on, and since little will be done to prevent the next shooting, it will just happen again.

Little sickos will keep scheming on how to have the sadistic, most attention-getting shootout. Can they break the dead body record? Can they slaughter more little children in an elementary school? Each sick psychopath will try to outdo the last one. After all, the more common these events get the harder it will be to grab news headlines.

As for your good Republican, NRA-lovin', right-wing, god fearin' conservatives, don't complain. This is the screwed up country you created. Justify it, blow it off, ignore it, and keep on going forward with your simpleton life. Eventually one of these shootings will affect you in some way. DON'T COMPLAIN. This is your world, buddy. Kiss your red, white and blue flag and love it. Or, kiss your Confederate flag or Nazi flag, or whatever you kiss.

As usual, I feel like the nut in the room who must state the obvious: We live in an extremely sick society. The mixture of gun crazy and evil crazy isn't working out well for us. Get those at-risk boys medicated. Kiss the pants legs of those NRA-bought Congressmen. Write them letters and thank them for another shooting.

God bless our very sick country. It's a great place to live, and a great place to die young, possibly while you're at school trying to learn something.
