Our toxic society

Hard to imagine, someone murdering an entire kindergarten class. All those five-year-olds gunned down by a nut job. Insane. No wonder Barry teared up. I’ve been doing some of that myself.

Now for the usual old media blather about gun control, as if disarming the folks who didn’t do this would make a difference. Or banning violent video games and the violent movies produced by lefty Hollywood. Ours truly is a toxic culture and it’s only getting more so. Where would you begin?

Meanwhile, of course, there’ll be no serious conversation at all about arming a few teachers or staff in every school. Or reopening mental institutions. At least they could take down those stupid, stupid signs at the entrance about how “this campus is a gun-free zone.” It’s a pure invitation to mass murder.

Uncertainty is the only way to prevent this sort of thing. Make the gunman think twice that someone might kill him before he can murder. It’s always a male, isn’t it? When was the last time it was a woman? As if that mattered.

  1. Nothing I can see that will make sense. And there is a rumor that mom purchased the guns used…

  2. So mom, you might say, got what she deserved. As for the children…

    Israeli teachers carry, I have read, which might not deter a suicide bomber, but ought to give a mass murderer, even a deranged one, pause. Certainly removing those stupid “gun-free zone” signs—imposed by the Clinton administration—which are just invitations to the deranged, would be a start.

    Jeffrey Goldberg in the Atlantic (the Atlantic!) makes the case for arming teachers or staff. Which is the only sensible idea you’re likely to hear from the lefties whose solution for every problem is to further empower the incompetent state.
