These aren't the product of a mind divorced from a sense of cause and effect. These are shootings that quite effectively advance an evil goal.

People very desperately want to believe that the brain of someone who commits such an act is irrecoverably different from their own and that of anyone they could know.

Buying a gun and then terrorizing them and then blowing their wives and children away with a bullet to the brain.

Hardly ever hear anyone talk about it in those terms.

It’s domestic abuse. Domestic violence. Talking about the domesticated wife like she is property like a domesticated cat or dog,or piece of property.

We have one sick male culture in this country.
