An opinion from a outsider, you guys are still debating about the symptoms but not the route of the problem itself. There were shitloads of vietnam or other war veterans with plenty of combat experience and PTSD returning home in the past. They didn't go around shooting people. Almost everyone in Swiss has got a weapon, yet there are no mass shootings.
The real problem is that the current US society is failing at integrating males. They often get isolated, job opportunities are worse, the pay is worse, living cost is too high. As a male, no matter what the media or lefties say, if you don't earn or contribute to the society you live in, nobody gives a damn about you.

As to the reasons why that's the case, you as Americans should know better than me.

Last but not least, it's crazy for me that he is still roaming free!

Me entire post was to highlight the lack of empathy the US shows in its allocation of money and programs to support mental health. And I don’t pray for people because some fake guy in the sky isn’t gonna help anyone. I don’t need a moral code that I don’t even follow to guide my empathy unlike you fake Christian’s. Back to your nap
And you still can’t grasp sarcasm

tell that to the billions of people around the world who temper and alleviate their mental health & struggles through faith in a higher power

religion exists for a reason yet you're too blind to see it.

well, that has been the existence of men since the beginning of time

you are replaceable and you are replaceable in the great scheme of things

but you do have a point, for the longest time there was an understanding that you would get a solid life in exchange for doing your part

and that social contract or whatever you want to call it is gone

working full time to live paycheck to paycheck barely making rent would drive anyone mad

the immense anguish of knowing that you cannot stop working or else you'll dig yourself deeper permanently, while having no friends or family...

Thoughts and prayers have worked so well

Agree with this and that it is part of the issue

thats why i am in south america now, i am done with that lifestyle

plenty of millenials like me experienced the transition from one paycheck being enough for the whole family to needing two to not be poor as fuck

i mean it couldnt be me, but i understand it when people are quitting

Incredibly sad. Events like these are the reason everywhere I go I carry where I legally can.

so the shooter can have a backup gun after he shoots you in the back? good thinking...

isn't it crazy how millions of people carrying firearms for "safety" somehow makes the country as a whole less safe? it's almost like the "logic" behind it is somehow flawed...
