U don’t realize that doctors in this country are pushed and incentivized to prescribe certain medications???Appreciate the reply. I agree with some of your points, e.,g the collective desire for "fame," the publicizing shooters, the Internet as a conduit for antisocial behavior, mental health/obesity as problems, etc. .
I don't buy the cars and guns as equivalent lethal weapons. Maybe if we had another couple hundred or so instances like what happened in the Xmas parade to the Dancing Grannies.
Also don't buy that we have more mental illness here. Or, that we are more fascinated by violence in the US than elsewhere. Heck, on the latter point, we still have media outlets who won't show the airliners flying into the Twin Towers. Our stomachs are too squeamish for that visual I guess.
Imagine if the damage to a human body (esp kids bodies) from getting hit by a round from an AR 15 type weapon was shown to all? When I was growinbg up in NY, the NY Daily News and Post used to regularly show close up facial photos of Mafiosi who had a revolver emptied into their heads in a mob hit). I guess somewhere along the line someone (in a far, far less woke period) decided that was in bad taste (although it did energize public sentiment/political action in a positive way).
Kids are getting all sorts of uppers and downers and they are getting all sorts of messed up. Just this morning we were listening to the police scanner and right around the block a 16-yo was threatening himself with a knife. This happens multiple times a week in our small city, so I can’t imagine how prevalent it is in a big city like Chicago or NYC
Another thing… do u also not see what they are pushing in schools to talk about *** in elementary school and talking to kids about transitioning them without their parents permission.
I mean… if u don’t realize what is going on in this country and the types of indoctrination that many school districts are getting away with now… I don’t know what else to say.
