Where do these School shootings really come from..?
Is this latest massacre, in Fla., a sign that we need stricter gun laws, stricter Mental Health Laws, more report ability between school/mental health and the police or is it a huge sign that we have truly entered the throes of a sick and inane society… ?
A former student at a Florida high school returned to his campus with deadly intent on Wednesday, reportedly donning a gas mask and killing at least 17 people with an AR-15 assault rifle.
Pupils at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, 30 miles north of Fort Lauderdale, hid under desks and cowered in cupboards as the gunfire rang out.
The alleged gunman, named as Nikolas Cruz, 19, had previously attended the high school and was expelled for unspecified disciplinary reasons. We found actually Cruz was expelled last school year after a fight with his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend. A former classmate reports that Cruz had been abusive to his girlfriend.
He managed to make it off campus before he was cornered and taken into custody in a townhouse at the Pelican Pointe gated community, in the Wyndham Lakes estate.
As happens after every mass shooting, the atrocity spurs calls for gun control, with lawmakers calling on Donald Trump to "do something" about gun violence.
This has grown to be a typical response from those who have the gun control agenda in mind. This death toll, of 17 dead and at least 15 wounded, would make it the third-worst school shooting in recent US history; after the Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook attacks.
Most people ask, why is this happening? I ask why have we raised a sick society comprised of people who have developed few social skills and fewer less coping skills; where people have temper tantrums and kill innocent children.… How bizarre !
How many more of these misfits have we bred while we clamoured that spankings were beatings and setting limits was abusive.
We have bred a generation of soft, silly and dangerous individuals… Where everyone feels that they have a right to be a winner, where rejection is not part of their little world and where they have not ever developed the internal strength to deal with the reality of living..
This fact is the crux of the problem ; we have become a soft, foolish and sick society.. These massacres have nothing to do with laws of any kind or guns or knives. These are all excuses for refusing to recognise the real basic truism of the day.. Our society is comprised of individuals with Arrested development and underlying mental illness…
It is the 18th school shooting this year, according to campaign group Every Town for Gun Safety.
Authorities at two nearby hospitals said they were treating 13 survivors for bullet wounds and other injuries, five of whom were listed in critical condition.
Jim Gard, a maths teacher at the school, said that the teachers had reportedly been warned about Cruz. Another student interviewed on the scene by Channel 7 said the student had guns at home.
The Valentine's Day bloodshed began after the assailant, wearing a gas mask, stalked into the school carrying a rifle, ammunition cartridges and smoke grenades ….He then pulled a fire alarm, prompting students and staff to pour from their classrooms into hallways. There the carnage began……
