Triggered? No. But I'm not a fan of stereotypes that lump everyone into a category as the solution as you've done here.

You say you're not all about status yet you tout the value of your home.

If we're going to say your theory is correct then let's go back to child labor sweat shops. 18 hour days, 7 dsys a weeks and nothing but gruel to eat. They'll keep the little bastards busy and all will be right with the world.

I have a similar situation with my son. He went to MIT and it ruined him. That place is as godless a place as exists anywhere. Science replaces God at MIT. Drug use is rampant

Not surpising at all. Several students from this area attended. They were at the top of their classes and all transferred after their first year.

What is the functional difference between these assassins/would be and jihadis? What is the difference between those who radicalize jihadis and those who radicalize these assassins?

Note that there's been no rioting, looting, or violence directed at liberals or others perceived to be in support of the assassin.
Clearly a cultural difference in our society.

Political ideology versus Religious Ideology…..their goals and results are the same. Religious terrorists will usually commit suicide or go down in shootout, maximum carnage. Political terrorists will fight their perceived oppressor system resulting in deaths that are a political statement and causing fear, and then use the protections from that same system to hide and protect them.

As for those who do the indoctrination, there really isn’t any difference, with one exception: the main stream media is part of the indoctrination process in the USA.

I find your opinion puzzling, considering statistics on the negative effects college culture has on young people. It's a very big negative influence on young people.

Research?? If that is the case they should all go to trade school.

Looks like I just found another Coffee company!

Me too. I just put in my order for 2 pounds of their dark roast.

Periodically they have Jamaican Blue Mountain. It is exceptionally good.

Fundamentally, there is zero difference.

I believe we are seeing the early manifestations of the same process that created the worst of ISIS circa the mid-2010s.

From virtually nowhere came legions of Islamofascist psychopaths, raised via the internet to come join the Jihad, that looted, murdered, and raped their way across a big chunk of the mid-east.

I said then, and I have maintained since, that someone out there cracked the code for remotely triggering psychopaths to join nihilistic death cults.

Oddly, this may have links to some of jihad movements as well - I'm curious as to whether or not the shooter had a history of heavy adolescent drug use.

Seems to be a common factor in the mass shooting crowd - admittedly, mental illness/substance use/neglect all kind of go hand in hand, so...

He is on video. He (as I understand it) has confessed. I want no trial, I want no lawyers, I want no decades of appeals. I want this scummy little fucker marched out behind the jail, shot, and killed at sunrise tomorrow.

And then we move on.

There will be no true justice for the Kirk family.

What do you mean by, “Funny how all the evidence seems to have disappeared.”?

I currently know of no evidence that’s disappeared.

Stow that shit and I mean right now.

Do not come into this thread with that ridiculous conspiracy shit. This is your one and only warning.

Can we at least make him cry desperately for a few days first?

Interesting...

There's an alliance between leftist, communist ideology and radical Islam.

Utah still has firing squad as an option so I hope they use it.

Triggered, yes, based on your responses. I didn’t lump EVERYONE into the same. I said, it’s a massive, widespread issue. That doesn’t mean everyone. We have an opioid epidemic in this country today? Are you or I addicted to opioids? I’m not, can’t stand them, threw them in the trash after a surgery a few years ago and just dealt with the pain. Context is important, with anything, including this. Context. Yes, this is a big problem. Entitlement is a big problem. Social media apps teach these people that they are a superstar, super important, just because they are them. Not because they have any particular skill where they are exceptional. That blows up their own head psychologically. They think they are a bigger deal than reality and lack of reality is the problem. It’s straight up delusion. That leads to entitlement. And entitlement is how we got here. Entitlement with young people today, is an epidemic. They think they are more important than they are and that life should cuddle to their every belief, like a little blanket. And when it doesn’t, which is reality, they do this crazy shit.

You keep coming with extremism and I’m not buying it. Not falling for the banana in the tail pipe. First you mention my shitty house or neighborhood because you are triggered. I told you it’s the opposite, nothing more. Absolutely nothing more. An no, I’m not about that status/image, at all, and have never in my entire life. Because it’s superficial, fake, and absolute bullshit. Life is too short, to me, for superficiality. I’ve got better things to do with my time. If you are so in love with my home you can have it. I’d be happy to sell it to you. I want out of a major metro and going rural as soon as I can pull it off because I’ve had it with image/status/entitlement behavior from every demographic and age group. All addicted to their phones and social media apps. Not how I live and I will never convert. The day I sell this mafk, will be the happiest day of my life. I’m long past tired of taking care of it. I told you the truth, you spun it, took it for a dance, and failed.

Now you are on about child labor? Where do you come up with this? We are talking about college aged kids, not child labor dude or children. This isn’t Fakebook. At 18, you are an adult, not a child. You can join the military, and you have to get in line. Fuck your entitlement once in boot camp. But Suzy and Chad in college, you want to give a pass to? If they are 18, they are old enough to act right, not get into this bs going on in America, think for themselves, apply critical thinking, etc. 18-22 is not a child, and no, we are not talking about child labor. These college kids have too much time on their hands and they are getting into the shit. My point is take the entitlement away, quit paying for Suzy and Chad’s entitled lifestyle, and see how fast shit changes. Get a job, volunteer, go to work. Get off the phone and stupid apps. It’s just amazing to see the babying of adults. Well that is how we got here and why our country is so fucked up right now.

You want to disagree with what I say, fine. The insults do nothing. I’ve heard 1M times worse than anything you could ever dream up. I’m dealing with teenage entitlement, every day of my life right now, all based on bad parenting from someone else. It’s amazing to see results when you turn that money spigot off. Shit changes so fast, heads spin. Like I stated. Everyone wants to point the finger at this or that, blame something else, with no personal accountability.

OK, guys

As long as it’s televised or somehow live-streamed I’m good with that. We need to start putting in some deterrence so that people will see the consequences of their actions.
