The god of Liberty is a hungry god. Child Sacrifice Uvalde edition. [UNLV Update]

Not everything is about you. Sometimes, things are about people who have nothing and never will have anything to do with you.

it's not about your money
it's not about anyone robbing you.
it not about you at all

It's about finding out why two people in the same situation can make drastically different choices.
What makes one outsider be fine with his/her lot in life and another feels the need to shoot up schools?
What makes one person be frugal with money and another spends as soon as it's earned?

These are very real questions and could go a long way in helping the human existance move forward in a positive way rather than sticking our collective thumbs up our collective ass and say "fuck it, I'm not indulging criminals".

If it's not about me, you can leave me out of any "solution. "
Once it involves me, I have the same right as anyone else to set my own terms.

how does understanding criminal behaviour involve you?

Because the resulting "solutions" inevitably fail to exclude the involvement of innocent people.

Yes, I remember when they figured out schizophrenia was a disease, and they made everyone take the lithium.

No, the modern sensibility would be to assume everyone was crazy until they file paperwork proving otherwise. It's just too hurtful to focus your "crazy people" attention on actual crazy people.

Yeah, you haven't gone off the deep end.
You're a-okay.

How would "understanding" include or exclude anyone?

I was assuming that understanding was towards the goal of implementing some kind of plan.

eventually.

The way the world works now, sure. But, despite economics and governments and all the other social influencers; eventually, the human race will need to overcome many aspects of human behavior if its to continue to exist.

In order to do that, we need to understand.

So, because economics or politics or social influencers use information to harm others, doesn't mean we shouldn't gather that information anyway.

It is morally better that an adult need to be sent to jail than one child get free school lunches.

Note the date of the OP.

I’m sure the NRA would support making the anniversary a national holiday to honor the sacrifice of the children and teachers who heroically sacrificed themselves in the name of gun rights

The mother of one of the victims is running for mayor.

It’s the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friends…

If it doesn't personally affect UA, why should we care?

Well, it's a university. They should have gone to a trade school. Spoiled brats.
Can't you just hear them? With their squeaky voices, and gay accents, giggling about how much they hate laborers, and dads?
I can. It's ALL I can hear.

No one's ever died making a sandwich. Just saying

The false choice of dishonest bullshitters:
1) Ban gunz!!!!!1111
or
2) You don't care.

The false choice presented by guntards. no guns or everyone has a gun. There is something called regulations which all the them put in the ban guns area probably because they are so fucked up no reasonable person would let them have a gun.

In no way does "focus on the guilty parties" equate with "do not care."

That's actually not the choices, but thanks for weighing in with your infantile opinions.

Then you're either still in denial that registration isn't a straight line to confiscation, or you're still indulging the fantasy that a little extra paperwork is going to stop someone with murder on their mind in this country.

"Strawman bullshit!! Clown shoe bullshit!! ".

Blow everything in the universe out your ass, you walking parody.

Deny it all you want. There aren't enough smokescreen weasel words in the language to camouflage the out and proud agenda of banning weapons.
