Protests and marches, riots, assault, and murder, are all making headlines in many parts of the country. Some are protesting for higher wages, and some are protesting what they see as police brutality and senseless murder. We have citizens standing against illegal immigration, and government land grabs. We have angry citizens in Detroit due to loss of pension funds and their retirement security. The nation seems to be on edge waiting for the next socioeconomic bomb to drop. Signs of frustration and aggravation are being exhibited through what amounts to civil unrest, and the "us against them" mantra is heard from almost every crowd taking the streets.
The frustration and aggravation is pushing some to the tip of their psychological tolerance. A good example is the man that shot his girl friend, then shot and killed two NYC police officers. Obviously, he had severe psychological problems, and recent events triggered his desire to make someone pay for his self-inflicted mental anguish.
We have citizens that are right on the tipping point of sanity and good judgment, and it doesn't take much to push them to the wrong side of behavior. There are a lot of angry people, and many have good cause to be so. Most anything will give them an excuse to vent, and to destroy property and harm others. In general, people are frustrated about the economy, unemployment, the cost of living, and other issues that either directly or indirectly affects their daily lives.
It's the mentally unstable among us that we should fear the most. They are looking for any excuse to take their frustrations and aggravations out on anyone, and usually it's innocent people that suffer by their hands. The big question is, how do we recognize them, and stop them in time? What do we look for in order to stop tragedy before it happens? What are the outward signs of psychological time bombs about to explode? Recent events should cause us to closely examine these questions.
