@Suzianne

I dunno what's wrong with people in general, but Americans who plan and carry out terrorist attacks against America are a fringe element who would not have appeared on the radar prior to the Internet, with very very few exceptions (such as Ted Kaczyinski). The Internet has emboldened people to crawl out of the woodwork who, in previous generations, would have remained voluntarily confined to their trailer parks and gone quietly and harmlessly and insanely to their graves.

Summarizing in entirety, making it a very rare, very sad situation. Then using these terrible actions pushing them on people the two of you clearly dislike and fantasize about with assumptions and hate. Putting others down you know nothing about to build yourselves up and the like minded shows the true intelligence and mindset of your cancel culture group.

Very sad people, God be with you.

Tell that to the three-year-old who was ritualistically killed and buried.

Tell that to his mother.

Could you rephrase this, plainer english, please. Putting others down, what in the world do you mean?

If you cared would you use it as a tool to spread your hatred?

Your caring heart also just used this terrible act as an escape goat from answering my concerns about you that are very clear and the other two.

Thanks Joe.

I also think Americans need to be taught anger management and conflict resolution strategies, mandatory, in the schools. Because people obviously aren’t learning it at home. Here’s an example:

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/21/us/andrew-wilkinson-maryland-judge-investigation/index.html

A disgruntled father murders a judge who awarded custody of his child to the mother, thereby proving that the judge rightly considered that this man was unfit to raise children.

I’ve said before, guns aren’t the problem in America, and controlling guns won’t fix the problem. The problem is the threshold for using them in anger. We have guns here in Switzerland too, but the threshold for using them in anger is much higher, and the gun murder rate here is very low. If Americas would learn impulse control, their angry outbursts would end in the fitness gym instead of a hail of bullets.
