Sad
There are such shitty people in the world. It does not make sense.
I mean Westboro Baptist Church? What the fuck are those people doing?
Why do we have people like that in the world?
And, why does the US have mentally ill patients who are unaccounted for? These people need professional help.
The stigma against people plagued with such mental health problems is very, very bad.
Sure, killing children is indeed a heinous crime, but I don't believe he was born evil. I don't believe that people are driven to such things naturally.
There was something wrong with him, something could have been done to prevent him from turning to violence upon others.
If he had better mental health care, if he had people around him other than his family who stopped to look at him and care more for him, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.
We can't just look at him and go 'He's a monster' and ignore the fact that 'He's mentally ill.' If we just chalk this up to a person being pure evil that's being completely ignorant of the underlying problems.
Would you rather believe that the world houses people who are naturally evil? Or that the world houses people who are sick and need help.
Other than that, gun control should be called for as well. Because it decreases the accessibility and the chance for a mentally disturbed person who was abandoned and ostracized by society to pick up a gun and open fucking fire. Trust me, it is common sense. It is so much harder to kill with a knife than a gun. And the whole fucking self defense crap does not hold water because gunmen can appear anyfuckingwhere. You cannot defend yourself everywhere. Do you carry a gun to the movie theatre, where the Aurora, Colarado attack took place? No. Because anyone who brings a gun to the movie theatre is sick.
If we degrade our society to the point where peope have to all be equipped with guns for self defense, well, that defeats the entire purpose of making yourself 'safer', because it puts you in much deeper danger.
People all have angry moments. People have moments where emotions take over. Not just mentally disturbed people. In moments of great rage, especially passion fuelled rage, people may want to physically harm other people. For example, a husband might want to kill his cheating wife. If they have a gun near them, in their house, they could actually utilize these weapons to act upon their moment of folly.
People are not reliable. We need to know that. We can never trust ourselves to be good people forever because we are innately all human and thus subject to human mistakes. Of course, this is different from some of the recent shooting cases. This is about people who commit violence on a moment of emotion. There are also some people who are mentally disturbed. For those who are mentally ill, if they have no weapons near them, they can't really do much immediately, right? Some mentally ill people have outbursts where they might actually want to be violent, but then they calm down after that. If they have no access to weapons during their outburst, they can't do anything and then it'll pass and they'll be calm again.
Gun control is really common sense. So is improvement in mental health services.
