I've said this before, they shouldn't let soldiers have guns.

From the interweb.. But military officials told NBC News the shooting appeared to have stemmed from a personal dispute at a motor pool and was unrelated to terrorism. Wow, He sure had a personal dispute with a lot of people.

Good thing there was a "good guy with a gun" there to stop it.
Oh wait. It was stopped by law enforcement. Nevermind.

I'm not even sure why this is a news story.

When you read this article, it is even more confusing. Nothing about this man stands out as a motive. Wife and young child, family man, etc. I agree that this story won't last as long as the other Ft. Hood shooting, but not just because of the reason I suspect you mean, cletus1. Hasan lived, so there was a trial. That, in conjunction with the terrorist connection, is why that story still exists to this day. In this case, I fear that we will never get any answers as to motive, and the story will go away for lack of information. In my opinion this one is more important than the other one, for the same reason. We humans always want answers.

As a society we seem to have no will to do much of anything but report the deaths. As such it is just a part of our lives and isn't news in a real sense. That is to say it is below the fold news, like a traffic jam or car wreck. To coin a phrase, nothing to see here move along.

Quote:As a society we seem to have no will to do much of anything but report the deaths. That seems to be an awful pessimistic point of view. I think OUR society does a lot more than report deaths. While it may not be enough I think we have a huge interest in why people do things like these mass shootings. And while I might disagree a lot of our society pins the blame on our access to guns. Others to video games and poverty. Others to our prescription drugged up society. Our prisons may be full to the brink but there are ways to become educated in those prisons. There are parole boards willing to give convicts a chance.There are people fighting for those who may be imprisoned who aren't guilty. There are also people reopening old cold cases and solving them. I think that comment also flies in the face of statistics that show crime rates are dropping and the total amount of shootings decreasing.

Going to war makes many people crazy.
Letting them remain part of the gun culture contributes to shootings like this.

Mark Milley, said the gunman had sought help for depression, anxiety and other problems.
