1. Two-parent homes for raising children; 2. A stay-at home parent; 3. Put away "participation trophies" and teach kids that heartbreak and losing are life lessons and doing so gracefully is important; 4. Return to discipline. Kids are your responsibility to society, NOT your new cuddly best friend for you to pamper and indulge; 5. Return to a shared moral code. In the past, it was Christianity and regular church attendance; 6. Return to community norms. No more, "but it's their culture to be rude" excuses. Abide by community standards or face social ostracism; 7. A return to accountability and personal responsibility for one's actions and behaviors.

"Studies indicate that the more media attention a shooter gets, the more likely the event will inspire a future mass shooter... "As long as the media continue to focus their news stories on the attacker, it is likely that these copycats will continue.[13] Dr. Adam Lankford of the University of Alabama has conducted several key studies of the media coverage of mass shootings and the motivations of the shooters. For example, he found that between 2010 and 2017, some mass shooters got more media attention in the month following the attack than the most famous celebrities, such as Brad Pitt." Media have been hyperbolizing over what Salvator Ramos did in Texas nonstop since it happened. Information, misinformation and disinformation have been assailing us night and day. We've had pictures of teddy bears and weeping parents popping up ad nauseam. Pundits and political types have been commandeering any and every microphone and/or camera they can find to contribute their two cents' worth. It doesn't take much for this kind of national hysteria to set off some alienated kid or adult with imaginary axes to grind and motivate him to seek the same kind of national attention, in the same kind of way, as the shooter(s) at Columbine, Uvalde, etc. did it. Yet we continue shriek our horror day and night. And all we're doing is adding fuel to the fire. There is news, and there is hysteria. News informs. Hysteria motivates, often motivating the precise kind of people who would consider doing these types of things. Yet we continue to eat it up, and demand more of it. How much responsibility do WE share? |
