A sword or machete can be used to kill more than a dozen trapped people, and they can be easily fashioned from strips of metal.
Great Britain’s gun ban hasn’t stopped the “Yobs” from using edged and blunt weapons. It only prevents good folk from defending themselves.
Could they also refrain from broadcasting that mass murdering maniac’s picture all over the place?
And stop breathlessly hanging on his every word… don’t the jackets In the press realize they are actively encouraging the next massacre?

Why is it that in the previous decades, when life was tougher, guns were just as available, and the ratio of mental disorders was about the same, mass shootings were unheard of? Some would say that those people had not yet been corrupted by moral relativism, desensitized by Hollywood’s fantasy violence and glorification of crime, nor addicted to gory point-and-shoot video games. All valid points - yet one major reason for this hardly gets any notice. I mean, of course, the dehumanizing effect of the so-called “progressive” education.
The truth is that the radical “progressive” ideology (a broad term embracing many offshoots of Marxism) dehumanizes people more effectively than any violent point-and-shoot video game ever could. It pits various groups of people against one another by cultivating envy and grievances that are mostly imaginary and second-hand. In the politically correct book of “progress,” man is no longer judged by the content of his character - but by the color of his skin, class, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or any other secondary attribute. The trick is that when a secondary attribute becomes the primary one, man loses his unique individuality and becomes a mere social function, a drone in a collective, a peg in the machine, a sacrificial animal on the altar of “progress.”
“Progressivism” remains more or less benign as long the nation on which it exists like a parasite remains wealthy. But as soon as the wealth is squandered and there are no surpluses left to redistribute, human sacrifice begins.
Noticed many are trying to take the advice offered by you Laz. While it maybe would be good idea to not identify the perp or perps, it is necessary to do the investigation. The media is terrible, these days, in doing investigations thus it is left to people like you, others, and I. The police do fail sometimes to recognize things and this forum (imho) does help to find things the police either misidentify or miss entirely. Still backing away Laz, though I sincerely do understand your sentiment. Will go with last comment.
