Well, the libs will say it is lack of gun control that caused this.
I'll say it the destruction of the family unit and the total breakdown of our schools that did it.
Sadly, we are probably both right.

Darwin said it best, "survival of the fittest"

Fit to do what, act unreasonably, then perish.

A friend of the family who is a 20 year vet on the police force told me this over a year ago:

One of the scariest differences between then ( 15-20 years ago)and now is that " then " a store would get robbed and the worker(s) would get tied up in the back office somewhere.When help arrived they would be let go and that was that. A robbery had occured.

"now" a store gets robbed and the worker is killed so there are no witnesses to the crime.So instead of robbery now it is murder. truly senseless stuff. I have heard that today one of the most dangerous jobs in the world is a convenience store clerk. Unreal right?

Man, when I was a kid (in 1980-ish), we would fight, get a bloody nose, then be playing wiffleball an hour later..

Now you get a cap in your ass
