The Only Thing

The only thing that stops me is the fact of being put in jail forever, or having to kill myself, or getting killed by an officer.

Huh.

Being stopped by an armed citizen--a teacher, an administrator, a visiting parent, a maintenance worker--wasn't even a passing consideration.

Why do you suppose that is, Wayne?

Poor baby. Society sucks so he wants to kill more random strangers than anyone and make history. He's too lazy to analyze WHY it sucks, how it could be made less sucky, and WHO makes it suck.
Sistah Souljah (I know, "Who??" A supposed entertainer in the '80s.) urged thugs in the 'hood to stop black-on-black crime and once in a while "take a day and kill only white people."
If a fox steals your chickens, do you beat your horse?

Is it just me, or does it seem that more and more people are having psychotic reactions to everyday stresses and disappointments?

The way things are going, I'm going to have to build a wall around my land.

"I wanna break the current shooting record. I wanna get instant recognition."

Another pathetic loser recently said in his suicide note, "I'm going to be famous."

The blood dancers give them the instant fame they desire, then have the audacity to say they don't know why they do it. Wouldn't it be better if, instead of the media circus and instant fame, there was a simple news story reading, "Some pathetic loser killed several people at Anytown High School. He will be buried in an unmarked grave at an undisclosed location."

I like it, anonymous.

14 months after the fact, Virginia Tech is still the rallying cry of the grabbers. It's like a challenge. If one can't garner attention with wit, good deeds, good looks or other positive attributes, there's always the other way. Today people become famous simply for becoming famous, not from any accomplishment. Schoolchildren are paid to behave in class and do their assignments. And they're told they're "planet slayers," as we saw in a story yesterday. Mediocrity is the new perfection, nihilism -- belief in nothing -- the new religion. They learn it from our leaders as well as from their parents. The message is "Why even try? There's only room for one at the top, and I'm already The One."
Sowing the kind of aimless discontent that has always proven useful to dictators wanting to build mobs and empires.
Truly, it is an act of heroism just to remain hopeful.

This is all that "you are special, you are all winners, there are no losers," etc. that was instilled in the Millennials (Gen Y). They were coddled and were not ready for the real world.

Look what happens when people can not deal with disappointment and failure because they never had to, you get school shootings, etc.

defender,
The problem is that the mob is fickle. It's kind of like the bad old days of the first hand-cannon. Sometimes the cannon killed the target, and sometimes it killed the user.
