Lt. Col Grossman was just on the Fox Sunday show, he is a top psychologist at West Point, the author of the legendary combat training book "On Killing", and one of the leading experts/trainers in the military/police community.

He says in a chilling interview that he has predicted this rise in domestic violence for years, and that these school shootings are just the "beginning" of the evil and horror that is coming inside our borders. He says the generations we have raised recently have been desensitized to killing, and literally trained and programmed to do it through violent video games. Like many of the great sports coaches of history who used visualization for athletes, the visualization practice is common in combat training, and video games train just that action, the Lt. Col says. Should we be that shocked? Is a mass shooting/suicide much different from a Middle East suicide bomber? No, its not. It happens worldwide. Now we're no different.

We are a free country. Companies like Microsoft are free to make millions and billions of dollars off video games. We are free to own guns. We are free to make violent movies. Free to play paintball, airsoft, etc, training in combat imagery, with everything except actual death.

We are free to grow our technology, and we have become so disconnected from person-to-person interaction. Kids spend more time "talking" through text and tweets than in person. XBox spends as much time raising a kid as two working parents do.


And....add to that our recent push to slash budgets for mental health, public schools and police. We rarely have access to mental health hospitals anymore. Schools are hand-tied to discipline kids. Police depts have little to no funding for training or staffing schools with armed cops.

As our country grows more violent, more desensitized to violence, less connected to personal relationships, less religious..........we are also dismantling the structures in place that help those who suffer from mental illness, and who protect us from domestic threats.

We are going in opposite directions on both fronts.

Lt. Col. Grossman is right. This is just the beginning. Its gonna get far worse.

We can grow up, find solutions, fund solutions, PRAY, and take it serious..........or, we can go about our lives, and get ready to be outraged after the next one and wonder why we still haven't done shit to try to change the direction we're going.

Personal responsibility is lost on scum such as yourself.
 
We have already slashed mental health funding.

The free market allows every drug on the planet to be pushed by the medical community for simple human emotions, and our bodies aren't meant for all those chemicals to float around in. The free market allows for violent video games and gun sales. Fine.

The public wont tolerate funding to put 2-3 armed, trained cops at every school in America....because 99.99% of those schools will never see this type of violence, and thus, the people will see those guards as "waste".

The solution includes very hard answers.

Really? We have a national responsibility to stop this shit. Those 6 and 7 year olds were not responsible enough to fight back. Those heroic teachers died to protect them.

What is OUR nation doing to help curb this trend of mass shootings? This isnt a personal responsibility issue. That mom FAILED to secure her two pistols and assault rifles, both of which I proudly own myself.

So when others fail in their personal responsibility, what are WE gonna do to protect kids afterwards?

You seem to offer no real ideas.

It is easier to buy a gun than to get help for a mental health issue. That is a FACT.

100% correct.

In the state I live (SC), a person with a mental illness...but who has never been diagnosed...can purchase an AK47 from a dealer within about a 1 hour process, on any given day. But to get admitted to a metnal hospital? Weeks and months of beggging and pleading with insurance companies, hospitals, government, etc etc.

17K die of AIDs in the USA each year.

Shall we ban gay ass sex, Hitler Youth?
 
No, these people will not be part of the solution. They are a serious part of the problem. And will remain so. It is up to the rest of us to remove the war weopons from our streets.

"ENDS UGLY"????

20 dead 6 and 7 year olds IS UGLY already.

This is bullshit.

Im not talking about the GOP/Democrat/Conservative/Liberal bullshit you morons preach everyday, including TODAY sadly.

We have to grow the fuck up as a country and deal with this. Some moron on this forum the day of the incident posted a thread about how he watched Obama's speech in HDTV to analyze whether it was a real tear or fake. Are you fucking serious? THAT is his response?

And all you can offer is grand scale, broad bumper sticker nonsense????

Fix this shit, now. HOW?

People like you obviously wont be part of the answer. So...feel free to get the fuck out of this conversation if you have nothing worthwhile to add.
 
A Lt. Colonel is not "top military."

If the guy was worth a shit, he would have made O-6, at least, during his career
 
We can blame LIBERALISM for turning our society into a senseless blood thirsty piece of crap. No one is fucking taking my guns away with this bull shit going on...I'll tell you that much!


It was ignorant pig shit like you that dragged us down during W.

You tried to keep us down with you pathetic TeaBag revolt.

You failed.

America Won.

Go back to westboro, hemorrhoid.

To get AIDS from gay sex, one must volunteer to have gay sex.

What did the 20 dead kids and 6 heroic teachers volunteer for that ended in their deaths?

Im all for personal responsibility. Thats how one ends up NOT having AIDS.

But when individuals FAIL to be responsible, and attack society, it is the responsibility of the WHOLE OF INDIVIDUALS...aka, the nation, state, city....to ACT and stop the damage, and do our best to prevent it.




Do you have ANYTHING concrete or valuable to add to this conversation?

You seem to offer no real ideas.

Gay ass fucking spread 80% of the AIDS cases, which kills 17K a year.

How far does our 'we' responsibly to stop this shit go, progressive totalitarian?
 
No, these people will not be part of the solution. They are a serious part of the problem. And will remain so. It is up to the rest of us to remove the war weopons from our streets.

How is a "law" going to save lives, asswipe?
Crack is illegal. How's that fucking working out?

Idiot.

I say "top" as in best, not highest rank. His training materal is legendary in the police community, and West Point obviously values his ideas as they have him on staff. He is an expert in the field of violence in combat and domestic incidents.
