As a nation, we like to turn ours backs on many things. Cigarettes kill millions every year. At least with them, it's people mostly killing themselves. Guns, speaks for itself. How about government funded healthcare? Or the issue with a quarter of the country taking advantage of the social welfare and/or disability systems. There are a lot of complex issues this country turns its back on. Guns would he a major start, but like everything else, our capitalist, money hungry, broken government system won't allow it. And in order not to completely derail the thread...this is crazy. Reminds me of the politician that killed himself on live TV. Just can't believe it.
What I find odd is that this guy was fired in 2013, but took a year+ to act out. Normally in these cases of people getting fired it is a crime of emotion/passion that is carried out within weeks. Maybe his EEOC complaint took a long time to resolve?
Just making a guess, but reading his manifest he took his actions this far now because of the recent events in the media like the church shooting.
Right. What's up with that? Didn't know they did that. Makes me wonder if the in studio anchor was being clever with "McBroom?"
It seems apparent, at least to me, that there is a positive feedback loop going on here. In ten or twenty years people won't bother with simple protests any more. Very public mass murder will be considered de rigueur If you want people to take you seriously at all. Don't tell me there aren't angry, crazy people out there, jealous of how much attention this guy is getting.
Here's what you do with his so-called manifesto. Get a match and burn it. Don't even read it. No point in trying to understand this person's ramblings. He would blame the moon and sun if it served his purpose. He would blame high tide for being angry...and low tide for being depressed. Over-analyzing his rambling manifesto is not going to solve anything.

^^clearly not the same guy..SMH. And why does the shooter look familiar to me? Did he report anything significant in the past?
