My god , Ive never heard so much rubbish as I just heard on CNN 10minutes ago .... who edits this blidge ?
Talking about the Florida shooter (at the airport)
They start by saying this guy was a Veteran (Iraq , Afghanistan ) whatever .. whom had recently approached authorities with thoughts of doing what he ended up doing ... good on him , for recognizing a problem .
So , they ask if he owns a gun ... he says yes ... they take it from him for a legally specified time , and then return it to him .... days later , he randomly shoots people .

And the outcry ..."was it an act of terror ?" Of course it wasn't ... it was the sad , unnoticed cry of a sick young guy , that went unheard .... and if somebody with at least 2 brain cells had looked at the case , they may have prevented a tragedy .

Im glad they took the young guy alive ..... maybe now , he will the get the help he needs , and tried to ask for .... yeah right

We have to stop feeding our young people into this disgusting political mincer .... yes they volunteer , some have nothing else , and the system feeds on that ... and that revolts me .

Too true. But even without getting into the whole sorry mess (because there is no real short-term solution) it's freaky to think that there are still a lot of people who would fight for this guy's right to have his weapon, above any other rights, including the right to not be shot by the dude with the gun.

Obama at least spoke out about the waste, tears and all, but didn't manage to do much to improve things -- I cringe when I think of the reaction of the pres-elect when the inevitable shooting happens on his watch.

Biggest thing, in a lot of places is a lacking education or social crap, media forms a lot of hate for a starter, HELLS BELLS , Un-educated then build on it and then turns , use the "war veteran" as a plug .. the guy would have un-stable from the start .. , its discipline and training and knowledge and that persons mindset .. you get that in the Civy world , but you see one is not up for the job ... today , you cannot release them from a work place for without a good reason .... this is what happens to someone who is trained .. but nothing UPSTAIRS .

Ok , subject closed ... i was tired and grumpy , but thanks for the comments.

You are right, Marty -- but they've had four hundred years to make their society what it is. The damage won't be fixed overnight
