RE: Deadliest Single-Shooter Attack in US History
Also, mostly an emotional rant because like you mentioned, theres almost ZERO facts. Im just upset and disappointed at the lack of properly substantiated facts. And a LOT of the time tragedies like these occur, there is a bigger but less tragic matter at hand not being covered. It may make me a crazy conspiracy theorist.... But the coincidences are aplenty in that sense. So it has me at Tweak level worry if there is other sinister or worrisome events we dont know about going on in conjunction with this tragedy? These things all just make you really think, and wonder, and worry. Just need to accept the blessing of each day we get on this earth. And love each other while we have a chance.
Unfortunately, our internet age hasn't really solved our information problem.
The same sentiments were had in the aftermath of the Waco standoff, OKC bombing and 9/11.
The world hasn't changed.
The internet has changed our expectations of information availability.
This lack of availability leads to frustration, which tends to lead to aggression, which makes things worse.
Fourty years ago (before the 24/7 news cycle) we got our news slower, but more accurately.
We can't have it all, instaneously. Nor should we.
It takes time for us to absorb and process information.
Much like liquor, imbibing and processing too much, too fast can easily lead to highly volatile events, which (as a country) we can't socially afford to have.
This too will pass.
