Another College Shooting: Coincidence or Pattern?
2015-10-09
If I was a ruthless government activist I might very well feel it was reasonable to induce a few vulnerable people (see FL school official whose hypnotism of students led to three deaths) into committing these crimes, sacrificing a 'few' lives for the 'greater good.' Never let a crisis go to waste, and if there isn't one, make one. I hope that's just excess cynicism on my part.
Early Friday morning, shots rang out at another American school, this time it was Northern Arizona University. A gunman killed one person and injured three others outside one of the school's halls.

The incident is the 46th school shooting in the United States this year, the latest since Chris Harper Mercer opened fire at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, just over a week ago. Mercer killed nine, seriously injured seven and then turned the gun on himself.

#2  Copycatting among the susceptible, the same way communities have clusters of teen suicides is a simple explanation.

Whether the susceptibility is genetic, chemically induced, or religious/political is a different question.

#1  I'd feel so much safer if only the crazies and criminals had firearms.

And the police and the government, but I repeat myself.
