Don't know what to say……..those poor people……. Prayers just aren't enough, but it's all I can do for now…….
I'm speechless. What a senseless tragedy. My prayers go out to their families and loved ones.
Another sad event, and one more nail in the coffin of the Right to private ownership of firearms. So Sad on so many levels.
May the dead rest in peace.
May the dead rest in peace.
I live in Chesapeake, the Battlefield Blvd Wal Mart is behind the Post office where I started my postal career. My niece called to make sure we were alright and I told her at 10pm the chances of us being out are slim, we're lucky to be awake.
It was a handgun which they don't sell

I think Wal Mart may be in a world of trouble liability wise-They're gonna definately get hit with the comp but I suspect there may lie a tort claim against Wal Mart if the stuff I am hearing about the manager is true.
Gary, inquiring minds want to know. What have you heard about the manager? I haven't been able to find anything about him.
We have "mass murder" because our "mass psychology" is corroded with division, intolerance, apathy with an oversupply of solipsistic thinking. If I am solely concerned with me, you don't matter. I can change that inside my "Hula Hoop" but it's not something we can legislate into being for society in general . Joe

What Pharmer said.
We are living in a dying society in the midst of its own suicide.
Incidents like these a decade ago were extremely rare...now they are almost daily. One has to only walk the streets, go shopping, or to a restaurant and see exactly WHY this kind of thing goes on and it has to do not with religion, or politics, or beliefs. It has to do with the people themselves. Despite all of the lip service the masses pay to a lot of this stuff, the majoprity really don't care within three seconds after the news break.
I see no improvement and indeed only seeing this get far worse than it is.
I have written on this forum many times about the things I have seen and won't go through all that today. Suffice to say until society and the masses reach down deep and wake up, this will continue.
Again, I don't see that happening.

Not only is there a lot of pent-up anger, but we've created a society where people seem unable to exercise any impulse control, and feel entitled to do whatever they feel like doing whenever they feel like doing it.
Add to that the fact that every single time something like this happens, the press goes nuts publicizing it: Interviews with the victims, constant updates on the investigation, politicians bloviating about what they want to ban next, etc., etc. This can't help but affect lost souls who are on the edge psychologically, and push them into action...
Every year in this country, hundreds of people commit suicide by jumping off bridges or stepping in front of trains...but those incidents are never given wide coverage -- if they're reported at all -- because the press doesn't want to encourage copycats. They know the effect their news coverage has.
My condolences to the survivors of this tragedy
Another example of the effectiveness of Red Flag legislation (sarcasm intended).

The National Desk went to the live press conference given by the sheriff's office. It was flat out hysterical, because the guy had nothing to tell them except "bon mots" regarding other first responders. But somebody in the brains trust felt they had to have a press conference.
After 26 years policing in a large city in AZ, I can attest that some parts of society is in fact circling the drain…..
but a lot of people are desperately trying to. their vision for my life does not take into consideration MY vision for my life.
Tragic, I pray the victims and their families find peace.
My circle of family, friends, and co-workers are still decent, honest people. However it does appear that evil has been emboldened. I think we all know how it has become so, and by whom.

50-60 years ago we had the guns, we didn't have the drugs. And, as Daniel
Patrick Moynihan said, we have been "defining deviancy down"

He posted a manifesto on his phone that the police released this morning. He seemed to be a pretty paranoid person and blamed everyone but himself.

Yeah, I know how it has become so, and I know who is responsible for it.
It's become so because since the early 1960s, we've been slowly but inexorably attacking and eroding the nuclear family, which is the basic building block of a civilized society. We've removed the stigma both from having children out-of-wedlock, and from getting divorced, which has led to the explosive growth of single-parent households, with kids raising themselves; this has directly resulted in children growing up without the loving guidance and discipline they need to become productive and responsible citizens.
It's become so because we've abandoned the notion of responsibility, of holding people accountable for their actions. All across our society, at all levels, people feel entitled to act out, to lash out, to do whatever they feel like doing because their special gripe or grievance is sooooo important. The idea of obeying the law, respecting authority, doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do, has completely fallen by the wayside.
It's become so because we Americans point our fingers at "the other guy" and blame him for the situation...thus exempting ourselves from any responsibility. We say we want leaders who are patriotic, honest, and trustworthy...and then vote for people who are none of those things. We preach respect for authority...and then boast of our disdain for authority. We claim to support law enforcement personnel...until they actually enforce the law, at which time we attack them. We want common criminals locked up forever for looting and rioting, but we make excuses for or downplay social or political violence we approve of.
Yeah, I know how it has become so. As for who is responsible for it: every single American is. With every passing day, I feel like we're watching a pact with the devil play out...
Such a shame. You have to wonder how these people become so unhinged. Is it mental illness, unhealthy environment growing up, complete lack of character/values, combination of all these things? Regardless of cause, it's just not fair that innocent people fall victim to an amoral, cowardly *******. May these victims rest in peace.
My prayers are with the victim's families.
The value system I was taught as well as others on this forum is no longer the norm.
I am in agreement with Beemerguy53's assessment of the breakdown of the familial unit.
I don't think it is going to get better any time soon.

We live in a fallen world. It will not get better. Nothing surprises me anymore. Evil no longer lives in the shadows. It is now celebrated and accepted as normal. And every tragedy is embraced and used politically. People claim to be morally outraged when they simply have no morals and use every opportunity to advance an agenda. Sad days indeed.
He put tape over his cell phone camera to keep the govt from spying on him
