You mention NOTHING about access to health care, decreasing wealth disparity, teaching coping skills, improving outcomes for the once-incarcerated, or anything else that would actually temper violence in the US. Instead you just jump to political bullsh*t and make uninformed assumptions about those who don't agree with your precious opinion. why do i have to? on that count the "ilk" you side with are just as awful. they don't want access to health care at all. in fact, cho was taken by his mother to have demons exorcised. americans must spend on the order of millions every year on guns, but when the subject of universal access to health care is brought up, the whining about how broke this country is from the "ilk" you side with shatters glass. on its face, this suggests that people love guns more than their fellow humans in this country! why don't YOU address THAT? and teaching coping skills is entailed in teaching children THE TRUTH about what they are. instead, the "ilk" you side with in TN wants evolution taught alongside creationism, in AZ the bible taught as literal truth, and in UT lying by omission to children about their sexuality. and as i pointed out twice, the "ilk" you side with don't want ppl like holmes incarcerated AT ALL--they just want them killed, kit and kaboodle, because incarcerating them is just a burden on the taxpayer.
and one has to wonder at your background, as you cannot seem to read. to a certain degree, these events do NOT care about income disparity! IT DOESN'T MATTER what your race, religion, or creed is! remember, cho's sister went to princeton. everything suggests that the chinese man and that hasidic jew were comletely NORMAL before their breaks (the ex-wife of the latter was completely shocked, and the former, at trial, asked that the judge just kill him). it's the unpredictability of it that makes it frightening, and places a higher urgency on trying to study these subjects while they are still alive.
also, yawper, in your "scientific" opinion, YES or NO--should people who have demonstrated psychiatric instability as well as homicidal intent, like cho and holmes, have easy access to guns or not? i'm clear. i say no. if they obtained it legally, the system is too loose and needs to be tightened to that exactitude. if they acquired the weapons illegally, then the system needs to study what the loopholes they exploited were.
