The issue is that the wrong people are filling up the system. We are flooded with drug offenders because of the failed drug war, and then it makes financial strains so high that violent criminals are released too often. If we were to reserve our system for only violent offenders and find other forms of rehabilitation and education for others we would be in much better shape.

I dont understand why this does not make sense to people. As long as the media keeps releasing names and making killers infamous, the things they do will keep getting more strange and sicker to attract the attention of the media. You think killing children and then firefighters on christmas eve is bad, well somebody out there is already planning to one up them so he can go out in the spotlight.

Our culture really needs to change....and fast. But thats not likely...

"How does a killer get his hands on an automatic weapon?" OP? How does a 14 year old get his hands on weed.

Looks like the shooter was a pussy, taking his own life, saves us the trouble of doing it however. One less fuckhead in the world.

We should start executing them.

Become this way for sure, it has to do with culture more than anything. Just so were clear im not saying that this couldn't happen anywhere in the world, just that certain cultures will make it occur more often.

-_- have you been to Singapore, it's a great country / city, clean streets, nice food, nice weather, fine security, good standard of living.

This is just sick. There seriously needs to be a petition started to stop the media from releasing murderer's names. As many others have already stated, there are just sick people out there wanting to get some attention even if it means killing themselves in the end.

Can we just stop responding to these events in such a simplistic manner? The events that lead to this event, high incarceration, etc. are complex. Saying things like ban all guns or execute them all just get us nowhere and have probably even contributed to the current condition. Complex problems deserve complex thought, and it would do us good to have some introspection about what are the causes of this behavior and how to limit it.

The media need to stop covering these stories - this is the very thing that's encouraging people to keep doing this. Unfortunately the news companies are just after higher ratings/views/hits. The only thing we can really do is to stop linking these stories.

My condolences to the victims and families. I would like to know what steps could be taken to reduce these crimes aside from gun control.

It's actually not _that_ complex. These shooters aren't the typical death row inmate that suffered from a horrible childhood and was abandoned by society. That's a completely separate topic of discussion and is obviously the "real" problem in terms of total cost to society. The kinds of shootings publicized in the news are executed by, for the lack of a better word, "crazy" people. They're the outliers and frankly they're being encouraged by the media to act on their delusion.

Honest question:

How can there be a thread with any real discussion involving a felon shooting a bunch of firefighters and not allow folks to talk about guns? I understand that people get pissy about it one way or another, but otherwise it's just 'well gosh that sucks' without really talking about anything useful.

I don't read General as often as I'd like, but do these threads just go full retard each an every time without accomplishing anything? I guess that'd make sense.
