In the El Paso shootings wake, evident is same wash-rinse-repeat pattern. There are the inevitable calls for gun control by demagogues concerned only about people control, those who put the onus on whites when most mass shooters are non-white, and propagandists who blame the Right when most violence originates with the Left. Its quite tiresome, really. In truth, the main underlying cause of increased mass-murder events -- and so much evil in general -- is a severe philosophical/spiritual malaise besetting our nation.
Were gun control the remedy here, mass shootings would be rare. Not only were there fewer firearm laws many decades ago, but in 1940s and 50s New York City, boys would often take guns on the subway because they had rifle clubs at school. So is access to firearms really the problems root cause?
As for the El Paso shooters motivation -- our immigrationism combined with left-wing environmental concerns -- there are people who will do evil in a causes name regardless of its nobility or ignobility. The real question here is, boiled down: Why are we seeing so much more evil in America now than in bygone days?
Many people find it ironic that the El Paso shooters father is a mental-health therapist. I find it unsurprising. I used to work with children, and social scientists often had horribly behaved kids (in fact, a psychologists young son was involved in the theft of $300 at the business where I worked).

Morality has been replaced by political correctness and virtue signaling. Both products of groupthink.
Shooter’s daddy was a “mental a health a therapist”.
That explains it all.
Mass murderers are not neccesarilly targetting people but an idea or a location.
Why would someone shoot up a school of kids?
In my opinion, it is the school (which really translates into the school system ) that is being targetted.
Even bullying. The school (system) didn't protect the shooter. I think investigators should shift their focus from a person to the location or program that was targetted.
Those headphones have intrigued me since they posted a picture of an ivy league looking guy with an AK ... AND HEADPHONES !
No mass murderer enters the manifestation of his fantasy trying to protect his earsd.
MKULTRA, imo.
we lost this nation when the 10 Commandments were removed from the town square. There is no moral compass.
Deranged idiots is the cause. Nothing more, nothing less.
And I’ve often found that liberals’ children are often the most messed up: “gender” issues, drug issues, sex issues, political and emotional issues. Conservative kids often rebel but just as soon return to the fold once they get their first job or turn 30, whichever comes first.
One need not be a Mensa candidate to realize this. Any fool would know that when we banned Jesus Christ from public education, all branches of government, the entire entertainment complex, pseudo "Christian" churches, and most importantly, the American home, bad things were going to happen.
Hosea referenced it as "sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind." Paul said, "..whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
America is going to reap it. Parading the perversion of homosexuality, murdering our unborn, encouraging the masses to take drugs... The list goes on and on. Hang on to your hats, boys, this one is going to be bad.
Pray for America's Spiritual Revival.
We can return to God.
We now have a growing number of young, lonely, marginalized weirdo kids from dysfunctional or broke apart families. Combined with a society, a continual diet of violent media, devoid of morals and that actually half of celebrates killing babies before or while they’re being born.
Why are we so surprised when we see these killings? These killers have no base of reality that is solid or stabilizing.
If these zombines can’t get guns, they’ll make them ...or they’ll put together bombs. There’s really not much we can do to stop it now. It’s going to happen.
Ill take Results of Godlessness for $500, Alex.
Here’s the crux of the article:
“Yet it all comes down to morality, or to a lack of morality — or, even more precisely, to a lack of belief in it.”

That’s a SYMPTOM, not a CAUSE.
It was lost when We the People allowed Socialism to creep into the body politic.
Not holding Lincoln for the crimes against the Constitution (no, it wasn’t an insurrection, it was another Rev. War) to Teddy’s ‘conversation’, to property theft (gold confiscation)\Fed. Rsve\SS\drug war\1st ‘gun contrl’ to full blown economic slavery (welfare state\MediXYZ) & State usurpation (Civil\Voting Rights Acts)
...kids from dysfunctional or broke apart families.
Half of our youth now are from fatherless homes, many not knowing their father at all. Many others have stepfathers instead of their birth fathers. So very many now raised by only a woman. Can we say unbalanced?
Of course, the great many do not know their Heavenly Father, do not know that they are sons and daughters of the King.
I see I am becoming a bobble head after your post. Good job.
Another factor, IMO, is the restrictions feminist society has put on boys who expect to grow in to men. Boys don’t respond to teaching the same way girls do, but because of feminist educators making the rules to solely favor girls, they are harming boys. They aren’t allowed to play games that develop leadership and other values normal men have developed over time. Their natural instincts suppressed, often with drugs, what are these kids to do but develop other avenues to release their energy? Bring back faggot-free scouting, boy’s clubs, let them run and play and develop in a normal way and maybe they’ll turn out to be normal guys and not basement dwelling manifesto writing murdering weirdos.

Re: Socialism creeping into our body politic
Our nation’s first socialist entitlement was government K-12 schooling.
From the beginning, government schooling offered a generic and lukewarm protestantism. And...with each decade and the pap offered to the students was more bland and cooler.
By the time I graduated from government schooling, there was a perfunctory Lord’s Prayer in the morning and non-stop atheistic secularism for the remainder of the day. Geeze!...And people wonder why there were so many of my generation grew up to be hippies dropping acid?
