Can someone please tell me what makes people think that the solution to their problems is to pick up a gun and go shoot people? I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would feel like this is a reasonable course of action. While I disagree enthusiastically with concepts of revenge, I can at least remedially understand the concepts of revenge and shooting or stabbing someone who has independently wronged you. It's absolutely heinous in either case, but at least the motivation of revenge against that person relates because we all have wanted to "get back" at someone and those who kill had a switch blow and no longer had the ability to filter the thought that they should get revenge. I get it. I disagree on an exponential level with it, but I get it.
Now why someone would decide that they need to go into a public area with the intent of causing as much harm as possible is beyond me. Was it for some sort of political statement? You just invalidated ANY kind of thought process you have had when you lost the ability to control your temper and gave up inhibitions. Not a single person with rational thought will side with your cause now. Was it revenge? Oh, so you're saying that ALL of the random people in that particular area were somehow doing something against you at that time? Would you say that maybe they were all conspiring against you then? What kind of purpose could you possibly have that would be propelled by doing something like that other than simply causing destruction? If all you want to do is destroy something go hunting and kill an animal. Then you can kill and you can sell the meat or whatever. It's not a good alternative, but ultimately I guess I'm happier with an ill-motivated hunt than killing people. Sorry animal rights activists. It's nothing personal.
Long ago in our country people actually believed that the pen stroke was stronger than the cannon but now we brandish fast-action cannons to write our statements in blood. What are we coming to? If you are making a statement to a larger government you are simply ignorant. We The People are still much stronger than the government because WE ARE the government. If you dislike what is happening so badly and you have the gumption to take a gun into a public place, why don't you start an actual protest? It works. Just ask Iceland. They did it in 2011 and ousted their whole government. Don't tell me stuff like that doesn't work. You can kill as many people as you like but you will only come to one of two points. Either you don't kill enough to have the majority and people lock you up or you kill way too many and people think you are a maniacal dictator.
For the love of humanity can we please start educating people more so we don't have unintelligent ego-maniacs running around with weapons believing they are doing something that anyone cares about? If you're that guy, just know this. There have been too many before you for you to even be noticed. Even if you're successful you will be forgotten about in less than 5 years. Nobody will care about what your name was. You will be nicknamed for the event you created and de-humanized for your complete lack of self-control. Nobody is going to give credence to whatever your issue is even if you paint it on the walls because the thoughts you have are polluted with the vile reek of hatred. Just stop. Rally some people to your side or actually take time to understand the obstacle in your way so you can overcome it, like EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO DO.
