Shootings, Bombings, etc

Ok, I just have to ask: why do people decide to take others out when they're depressed?

I mean think about it here. John Doe's girlfriend breaks up with him, so he decides to off himself. But no, that's not good enough! He decides to go to some store, mall, shopping center, someplace with a LOT of people at it, then open fire to take out as many people as he can -- then he offs himself. What type of mental defect exists in this person that makes them even remotely think that the person that "betrayed them" or whatever even cares? If anything, they'd think "thank god I broke up with that psychotic freak. That could've been me he killed!" Meanwhile these other families have to bury their dead family members and friends, and can't even see justice served because the cowardly bastard did himself in with the last bullet. All these innocent families suffer and are punished , and all they were guilty of is wanting or needing to go shopping!

Think about this next time you go to buy food. Some girl might've broken up with partner, and he might be that nutty looking person driving behind you. Yeah, he seems innocent. But he might be deciding whether to pop a bullet into your head there, or wait until you get inside to take out more people. You'll never know. Maybe he's planning on taking hostages, and using a knife to torture the people. Maybe he's just infected with a disease, and he's going to spread the love (so to speak). Never know. And all this because you had this bizarre and unnatural craving to….. eat. Yes… it's all your fault, you food addicted fool! How dare you decide to eat and go shopping there on that day! But you know someone will say "at the wrong place at the wrong time" -- well where else does a person go when they need food, the car dealership? And what about this crazed gunman? Is he supposed to be there? Well if he is how about some warning then! Like "Monday at 4:27 we'll have our 27 rapid bullet fire special, followed by a 50% off sale the next day after the police clear the scene."

And it's not like these people are going to get on the news anywhere like they'd want! Yeah, at one time they'd be all over the networks. But now there's so many shootings, like every week it seems, it's more along the lines of "another shooting at honey mall today, breaking their 14 day streak without a death" then they'd go on to weather or commercial. No one else really cares anymore. Society's already starting to get numb from it all. Now when someone mentions a public shooting, it's not "I heard about that!", it's "which one, the one at x, y, or z? Oh, at w? Didn't hear about that one".

People, if you're going to off yourself, and don't have the guts to do it privately, seek help. Just because you're some screwed up bastard doesn't mean you should make other people's lives hell. And for the love of god, please, whoever knows these sick people that take others out with them -- don't say "they were such a kind person" or "they were such a good Christian" or other such crap; if they were, they wouldn't of taken others out and then themselves -- you may of thought they were, but they weren't. Saying "oh man, that is so surprising since the shooter that took out ten people was such a good Christian!" now that doesn't make a bit of sense does it? Do "good" and "Christian" people really buy guns, then take them into the world to shoot people up? Well I sure as hell hope not, they're definitely teaching something wrong if "suicide's great" and "kill others too" is being taught.

And for the love of all things that are holy, don't blame yourselves if someone you know does something! You can't control them, and if you think someone's going to do some -- call someone to take care of it. But really, how many times do you hear someone say "yeah, I knew old bob was going to shoot up the place; he talked about it all the time!" You don't. Well it does happen, but the police are normally called in and the people are given professional help. But people that go and do these things have problems. I'd bet many of them have a "I'll show them!" attitude about it. But don't go around saying how good they were! If a person has these thoughts, they know they have the thoughts, and they would know those thoughts weren't allowed -- and they choose not to seek help ---- that doesn't make the person "good"!
