9. What if the "bad guy" had had early childhood intervention with his mental problems?

That might happen if we had single-payer health care and didn't put such a stigma on mental health issues.

What if "bad guys" grew up in a stronger child welfare system and had parents who made living wages and were able to take parenting classes?

Oh right, more money. Sorry. Couldn't possibly find a way to allocate resources to those programs.

What if "bad guys" went to schools where bullying was taken seriously, where respect was a core value? What if people went to work and didn't have to ask permission to go to the bathroom? What if we tried to prevent all the little aggressions so they didn't snowball into big aggressions?

Oh yeah, that's a PC way to live. It raises sheep who need sheepdogs. This is a jungle, man, and there isn't anything that will change it. Let's not even try. MOAR GUNZ.
