Two similar shootings- will the third one happen soon?<br /><br />It must be true that when thinking about harming innocent bystanders, to express oneself and ones rage.... seeing somebody else commit a similar act... must propel the hapless perp along. Why? Is it a sense of a strange comraderie with the prior rampager....a sense of ,"Well, I'm not alone after all"...or just too much prozac, twinkies video games, and a culture with broken homes, endless violent images, and endless real life wars? To what degree is violence 'normal,' if its everywhere? <br /><br />Thanks for showing the statue- I didn't know the writer I loved so much as a child was honored there. I hope the burn victim/family can cope, Im sorry for their pain.Zerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907132894008844204noreply@blogger.com
