And let’s give cops money to do it!

Edit: this post has nothing to do with “revolution” or adventurism. The libs like to point the finger at replublicans and say “they won’t let us do background checks!” As if that will stop any of this

    I believe it's natural combo of constantly dropping living standard and - as a reaction to that - media becoming more and more aggressive in order to controll the poor; Say lots of stuff that would be banned/filtered 20-30 years ago is now tolerated or even normalised, plus social media is even harder to regulate (even if someone really wanted to) than the classical papers/TV.

    Social media alone is not "enough" - since there is practically zero shootings out of USA.

      Maybe it’s the combination of things getting worse while being told things are actually getting better.

      American media goes very hard on saying things are getting better in a way that most people look around themselves and go “sure doesn’t look that way.”

      But then instead of going after those bastards they shoot random kids? Like they aren’t even shooting out of revenge.

        The murderers are deranged, I have no idea what exactly happens in their minds - maybe they are lost and seeking point/purpose in life, thinking they are some kind of messiahs/martyrs, extreme anger management issues...I could go on with million other ideas but really it's just guessing and not really rellevant.

        What I had in mind is the climate of despair / normalised violence and easily available guns, in which these things start happening regularly. Unlike in many other countries in the world which, I bet, have their fair share of lunatics.
