Minneapolis Catholic School shootings.

Always sad to see another one of these horrors. They need to approach this problem from every practical angle and find something that works to prevent these situations from keep happening.

And something evaluated in terms of common sense and serious critical analysis based on facts presented by objective analysts.

I was referring more to these school, church, restaurant, store, park and other shootings occurring all over the United States.


I lived in Minneapolis from August 1986 to late November of 1991. I have heard that it is now very different from when I was there. I have not been back to Minneapolis since then.

In common
 

What both the mass stabbing and shooting have in common is mental health. We live in a world where kids are raised on video gamesmanship who’s solitary goal is how many people you can kill. Raise your kids like that and consider at least a few will fall through the cracks of normality.

Not sure how much of a connection there is between videos and someone killing real people. There are millions of people who play violent video games.

I really liked what the Minneapolis mayor said. He showed genuine compassion.

I would not call Minneapolis soft on crimes. Some other places very limp IMHO on crime and hip deep in hypocrisy.

I really liked what Amy Klobuchar had to say about this crime this morning.

Why
 

Why? Just why? And now we will never know why this guy took his pistol, shotgun and rifle and opened up on these kids. The shooting Wednesday at a Minneapolis Catholic school has killed two children as they prayed and injured 17 other people, 14 of them kids.

Can anyone tell me why kids praying in pews were his target? All the emotions pour over me. What bothers me most, is we will never know why.

Waiting to hear more about that deranged guy/gal. Manifesto and video in police possession. Hope it’s all made public to understand why and what occurred. Apparently he bought at least one of the guns legally. More coming for sure. Poor families….

If you are registered on Twitter, there is an account with a lot of info on the shooter; It currently has the last video he put out. The manifesto is in the first couple minutes of the video; if you freeze it and maybe enlarge it, you can read it. The account where you can find it is "Champagne Joshi" It's up now, will it be there tomorrow? Who can say?
After watching it, my diagnosis is - he is crazy.

What??? It’s constantly ranked in the top places for quality of life, healthcare and generally much better than Florida.

Guess depends on who doing the ranking? Until justice system starts executing cold blooded killers before the die old age or ever crazy lunatic’s have escape. College killer in Utah good example, IMO he should be 6 foot under by now… but, lawyers have to get paid don’t they? O being crazy IMO don’t get off the hook.

Most countries in the civilized have solved that problem.

Could be the kids who don’t become violent have other experiences that counteract that desire. And the kids who do become violent may have grossly unbalanced life experiences of violence and hate vs the ones who don’t.

The old saying “you are what you eat” applies to anything you take into your mind/body.

No. What they have in common is guns. Did you see the size of the shells he used? These shells are for warfare, not hunting. There are millions of people with mental disorders who do not own guns. More often than not, those with mental health issues and guns kill themselves and do not shoot others (it's called suicide).
