Stop Blaming!

Maybe it is an aspect of the litigious society, or maybe it is a notion that all problems are solvable. Maybe it is pansy ass hand holding and a Baby Boomer golden tit ideal of protecting children from any sort of negative anything. Whatever the motivations, let us please stop with Blaming and Fixing.
The news is geared toward trying to pin blame on all sorts of people. Not the perpetrator usually, but their parents, police, school officials, you name it. And then all sorts of Baby Boomers begin trying to prevent the incident from ever happening again. As though they could. They spend millions putting fences around Interstate overpasses so they can imagine no one can throw a rock off it any longer. They put a rent-a-cop with a gun in every school. They make us all take off our shoes and toss our banana creme pies in the trash at the airports. Worthless. The only value is for some smug Baby Boomer to feel like they “did something” and “if it saves one life, it’s worth it.” Bullshit. I’d rather let that one person die than make 350 million people take off their shoes. And I’d rather spend that $100,000 a year on education than a hall monitor with a gun. It is not worth it. Sure, if it is your kid harmed it is worth it, but it isn’t your kid. It isn’t anyone’s kid. It never happens. But that cop makes them imagine they have stopped it. They feel like they are doing something.
If only we just spent the money on Baby Boomers’ therapy bills instead. Stop with the over-protective crap! You are raising a nation of cry-babies and Momma’s-boys! Now repeat after me:
“Shit happens.”
Try fixing it with toilet paper instead of a butt plug. And keep your damn butt plug away from my asshole Senator! And stop eating different foods. It still stinks. Deal. Idiot.

Hell yes! I knew you’d come around to my way of thinking!
MORE guns in schools! Concealed carry permits for all!
Imagine how well kids would behave if they knew doddering, little substitute, Mrs. Hodges, had an 18-round Glock 17 under her brassiere…

Heck, buy the guns and training for teachers and fire the rent-a-cops. We’d save millions and the schools would be far safer.
Sure, it would scare Liberals to have guns in schools, but you’d hope any teacher in the program would be extremely conscientious.
I would prefer none of the above really. The occasional shooting spree is to be expected and accepted. We can only limit it, not prevent it. We’re looking for the lowest avergae shootings, for the least money and causing the least burden on society.

People snap. It’s a fact. You may be standing within a few feet of a loose cannon at the grocery store, at Wal-mart (gaa!!), at school, and yes, even in your church.
I don’t mean to sound like a cold-hearted skank, but life goes on. In this instance, the dude took his own life. So, it’s over. Shake it off and go on.
When something like this happens the masses put all of their effort into trying to fix something that is pretty much undetectable rather than realizing random people are just apt to flip out.
