Mass Shootings: Fort Hood, TX, and Orlando, FL
There has been nothing funny about the last two days, and with the new unemployment numbers, it may get worse.
We don’t really know, any of us, why someone snaps and turns lose their rage on the people around them or an ex-employer, but it’s certain that this year has spawned a too many deaths. Most marriages come to an end over financial troubles, a good many suicides are reported when job loses are high, and people that have difficulty handling the world-when things are good-tend to turn to violence when things get bad. The man who killed and maimed so many at Fort Hood, yesterday, was said to be angry over deployment to the Middle-East, and angry with Obama over his failure to pull the men out of Iraq and the war in Afghanistan. It appears, with what is known, that the man in Orlando was an ex-employ. Whatever the case, yours or a friend, the answer to any bad situation is never a gun.
Get counseling, get help, but do not pick up a gun to solve a problem. Too few of the moments meant to give a person their 15-minutes of fame, are things that your mother, father, brothers, and sisters, will be able to point to and say, “That was my family member.” Your actions don’t just punish you; they punish those who love you.
