I'll answer your question. Reform the divorce laws in this country. Legalize prostitution. Legalize marijuana. That would be a good start.
Not sure what the divorce laws will do. Crazy dudes will always be crazy. Although the whole "No fault" shite in Florida needs to go. My buddy almost left the country after his wife fricked her high school boyfriend and asked for a divorce and alimony (she didn't get it).
But I think the legalization of both of those won't do much to reduce violence in terms of mass shootings.
It might reduce violence slightly in hoods where people kill over drug deals.

If jindal's campaign wasn't a farce, it sure is after his horrible stumping. Blanco-esque

This is so surreal. You see this shite on tv all the time. Cops and ambulances surrounding the scene of a mass shooting. You never imagine seeing the place you live on national tv in that situation. Places you've been and drive by everyday. Hard to watch this
Glad I didnt go to the gym tonight

Some injured have potentially life threatening injuries. 3 dead including the shooter. White male in his 50s. That's all that's confirmed as far as I know.

LAF PD Chief Jim Craft saying they're searching the shooter's home now... won't go into the kind of weapon used other than it's a handgun

Not a Jindal fan, but he did a good job with that interview on CNN.

Watching it on Fox and CNN now. Looks like law enforcement are doing an admirable job. It appears the Governor and the Feds are already on site.
Hopefully the critical patients pull through. Prayers sent.

they rarely mention the name of the shooter when reporting on the incident.
Right. This is why I know the name Dylan Roof right off of the top of my head.
Of course news channels give out the names. They do everything they can to drive ratings.

A big part of it is overmedication and improper diagnoses of mental illness. A doctor would rather prescribe you some Adderall so the sales rep will keep sending him to Hawaii instead of helping you get the help you may truly need.

This is a pretty absurd opinion, and I'm sure the other healthcare providers on here would back me up on this.
What we really need is more public resources for mental health services. Good luck getting an appointment at a mental health clinic if you have no insurance or just medicaid. Incidence of mental illness is also higher among lower socioeconomic classes. Not a good situation.
If you can't stop the mentally ill from getting guns, at least try to do what you can to find those people and get them the help they need before they become a threat to others and themselves.

The difference is that this thread will disappear but the news channels will keep on chugging if for no other reason than they need to fill air time.
It will be out of the news by next week and on to the next story .. it's the cycle of life, and we are all just willing participants .. the media's not the devil here .. they're just feeding us what we want .. you probably have one of the news channels on, watching right now .. nothing wrong with that .. just a bit hypocritical to point the finger at the evil media at a time like this ..
