Who's to Blame?

From Bill OReilly.com (May 9):

Another horrendous mass shooting over the weekend, this one in a shopping center near Dallas, Texas. At this point, the nation is almost numb to the slaughtering of innocents because it now occurs on a regular basis.

There are three primary reasons for the carnage, which is most often perpetrated by young men.

First, the John Wick culture. Here mass violence is celebrated in movies and internet games. Troubled people are affected by the graphic visual killings, which are mainstreamed into entertainment vehicles.

Second is the collapse of morality in America. Religion is being soundly rejected by the young, and public schools make little attempt to define right and wrong. In fact, evil is basically ignored in our secular society unless Trump is involved.

And third, is the failure to effectively punish violent people. Far-left politicians have torn down deterrence, and criminals have been emboldened. The violent mentally ill are subject to a little scrutiny.

Politically, the left is heavy into "gun control" but not crime control. The cops are the problem, not the criminals.

Add those three up, and you have a free fire zone for deadly violence, pun intended. [source]

Good points. Yea, disturbed or impressionable people (especially kids) shouldn't probably watch violent movies or play violent games. I wonder if all this chaos is part of the top down-bottom up-inside out Leftist strategy of gaining more power that Van Jones talked about.
