The recent mass shootings in Gilroy, CA on July 28, 2019; Dayton, OH on August 4, and El Paso, TX on August 6, join a seemingly ever growing list of mass killings plaguing our nation. These latest unspeakable acts so far reportedly resulting in some 36 deaths and 64 related injuries. Horrific tragedies, each causing indescribable pain and suffering for so many. Abhorrent atrocities that, most shamefully and unconscionably, some choose to use as a means of furthering political agendas and other self-serving aims.
As many of same self-proclaimed uniquely concerned and caring parties often continue to turn a selective blind eye to the indisputable pain and suffering also involved with, for example: the more than 20 U.S. Military Veterans who are reportedly dying by suicide “every day”; the at least 9 Americans who die and 100 injured "every day" in distracted driving crashes, according to National Security Council estimates; and the more than 130 people in the U.S. who, as reported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, are dying “every day” after overdosing on opioids; etc.
It is of course most unlikely our ever-changing world will one day experience a shortage of tragedy and wrongfully assigned blame. Nevertheless, there will hopefully always exist an essential nation-saving grasp of life’s many inescapable realities. None the least being that solutions for preventing or otherwise lessening our pain and suffering, regardless of source, will never be found in the divide and control/conquer agendas of our ever-present foreign and domestic enemies.
Nor in emotionally-charged name-calling and baseless accusations driven and enabled by ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and counterproductive fear. Nor in failure to appropriately accept and assign personal responsibility for one’s choices and behavior. Nor in refusal to accept that evil exists and when hell-bent to do harm will find a way, in total disregard of laws, restrictive signage, or otherwise prescribed social norms. Nor in continued failure to grasp that irresponsibly dealt with mental health issues include consequences—some proven time and again to be unthinkably horrifying.
IN FURTHER REFERENCE TO AMERICA’S SO-CALLED “MASS SHOOTINGS” . . . it is likely no incidence of trivia that such atrocities have to date been in conspicuous majority carried out by “relatively young males.” Yes, relatively young nature-determined males often unexposed to responsible father figures, and processed through an educational system and other social environments that preach or otherwise tolerate: a gender-neutral society, open-to-anyone restrooms, reliance upon anxiety counselor equipped safe spaces, climate-change doom and gloom propaganda, hopeless victim vs cruel oppressor mindset, political-correctness and other absence from truth ideologies, everyone is owed a certificate attitudes, belief that life is or should be “fair” and that there is actually such a thing as “free stuff,” expected special sensitivity towards those identifying as female—as same so-called craving of sensitivity females often clamor to date or otherwise associate with conspicuously self-absorbed alpha males, . . . and other teachings that are in irresponsible denial and disregard of common sense and the existence and role of testosterone, estrogen, and other nature-established human hormones.
Yes, we can continue down the road of such absurdities, and cap such off with a heavy dose of blatant disregard of the sanctity of life and inattention to mental illness, etc. Yes, we can do so . . . but not without consequences. Some of which most sadly have been, and will likely continue to be, proven time and again to be unthinkably horrifying and excruciatingly life-changing tragedies for countless among us.
