God's not in His heaven, all's wrong with Pakistan
Do killer kids finds the education system too burdensome or is their injured psyche responsible for increasing school massacres across USA?
Is there a pattern here? What are these shootings telling us? As individuals and society, are we failing our youth? The incidents taking place in the US schools raises a lot of questions and sadly, each time they remain unanswered.
Seems to me, we no longer see the signals or read the signs, but blindly await for the explosions to happen. We fail to spot the anger, fears, frustrations and the wounded ego simmering among the young. Many young people adapt, others find acceptable escapes, still others desensitize their injured psyche, and some just blow a fuse. Are we failing them - a distressed youth lacking all support. We ourselves are no longer sensitive enough, aware enough or perhaps concerned enough.
I am scared about American teenagers who live dangerously, in a culture heavily influenced by guns. The Foss High School shooting is one of the several recent tragedies that American teens had to suffer pointlessly. However, saying it pointless would mean to directly criminalize the culprit without looking for the reason that provoked him to do the awful crime.
Why does this keep happening?
For a country that holds protection of its citizens as a top priority, the right to bear arms just runs contradictory. Until the US government denies this right to its citizens to bear arms against its own people then sadly this will not be the last incident where firearms are involved. You surely cannot shoot anyone if you do not have a gun.
These are major signs of a society on a decline but the current administration is more worried about passing its social security proposals and allocating more money into a war with no end. Sadly, America's politicians will ignore this and make no effort to control guns; they'll probably blame it on movies or games. More children will be shot and the NRA will claim, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people". Very sad but very true.
