Almost every time someone is caught doing something degrading to themselves and others the first thing out of their mouths is "It makes me feel so empowered." The modern day equivalent of the perfect alibi.<br />How is it empowering to condemn these people to a life time of poverty and the "demons" that they have to deal with? I have no doubt that the denigration that young men face in a society that is anti male at best does affect them, but the underlying problem is still there. Without recognition of the problem there can never be a solution that will aid these people in living some semblance of a "normal" life.<br />Instead, in order to avoid responsibility, we blame objects and try to ban them as if that has ever worked in the past. We all know that Prohibition worked so well. <br />Martial Arts were developed in response to government's desire to take the people's right to defend themselves away. This is notwithstanding that guns are easy to make as are all of the elements needed to make it function.<br />Avoidance of the problem will never lead to a solution. Every notice that behind a vast number of ills we face in society stands feminism and the Left. The same is true on this issue as well.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-32253718645445171052014-04-02T06:14:25.133-07:002014-04-02T06:14:25.133-07:00Right to have a gun for everyone, and test of psyc...Right to have a gun for everyone, and test of psychosis for all ;) Jockernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-73846818829794216282014-04-01T19:21:26.895-07:002014-04-01T19:21:26.895-07:00Hamsta said:

The crimes are about a twisted sense of justice and payback. In almost all cases, I can intuit that these poor bastards are aware enough of their mental talents but have been rejected and rejected and rejected until they are seething with rage. They feel that the universe is against them anyway and why not get even and go out with a bang. There life is over anyway.<br /><br />In the case of the Sandy Hook shooter, the poor kid was odd looking and would never fit in. The father and brother left togther for another town. The mother got a sizable settlement and alimony. She was not that attractive (from published pictures) and apparently was frequenting a local bar or two trying to get a man interested in her. <br /><br />Now, here's the thing- the biggest impediment to finding a new man is to have a fully grown teenage son living at home with a serious case of the heebie jeebies. So, she arranged to have the kid shipped off from her home to some institution. My theory is she wanted to get the kid away so as not scare off potential suitors.<br /><br />Anyway, apparently the kid found out about the mother's plans for him a short while before the incident. He made the understandable conclusion that he was so worthless that his own mother wanted him gone. His life was over anyway and EVERYONE let him down.<br /><br />It is also interesting that all the shooters are white. So it could be something genetic. <br /><br />Hard to predict. Which doctor would want to push a kid that could go either way into an institution and thus ensure his life comes to nothing?<br /><br />These are crimes of social striving and social frustration.Hamstanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-29844229214560958692014-04-01T14:00:23.404-07:002014-04-01T14:00:23.404-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
