Just read this news (only title tho) where a teenager murdered his sister over Christmas gifts.

I’m starting to think, as a land, USA is cursed. Every hour American military complex exports death all around the world. And these bullets and bombs are used by the literal evil mfers against weak victims.

The continuous death of innocent American children by psychos who have easy access to guns is an ironic and twisted equilibrium of fate against due to the greed of darker-than-charcoal-stone-heart Americans.

Nicholas Cage’s “Lord of war” sums it up.

And my sincere condolences to victims’ heartbroken families.

    Almost like the entire country was built over Indian burial grounds.

    Let’s be real though, there’s no such thing as curses. This is a human situation problem.

    First, you only read the headline of the article. If you’re going to read headlines and speculate the rest of the story, you’re going to create the most extreme version. Headlines are intentionally misleading and catchy to get you to click and share them. Read the actual story from multiple sources, and you’ll probably find that the full story is a lot less crazy.

    But yes, there are some stories that are just as gruesome as their headline. There’s not much more to a story like “6 elementary school students dead after another school shooting” and these things happen here significantly more than elsewhere in the world. There’s lots of debate about why and no one can agree on an exact reason, but it’s definitely a situational issue. Meaning that if you took the exact same person who murdered children and gave them an entirely different life from birth, they likely will be an entirely different person. It’s not something that some people are just “born” to do, it’s something their situation points them to.

    My personal opinion on the solution to the issue is to have ten to a hundred times more guidance counselors at school, with mandatory, regular confidential counseling/therapy for each student. (Of course with strong firearm regulations in the meantime.) But honestly I don’t think the problem is going anywhere any time soon. The absolute craziness shown by millions of people during 2020-2021 shows that the people who need help the most will fight that help every step of the way.
