I think I did a rotten job of trying to articulate my point, sorry.
"There is a culture here in the US that is inciting this crap somehow"
I agree, but I don't know what it is. Why is our culture different from, say Germany or England? They watch the same movies, listen to the same music, right? Or look at the Dakotas. Everyone has guns, but except for what you watch on "Fargo", there is zero gun crime. Why is that?
"If you don't consider this epidemic an indictment of our country"
I don't think we have an epidemic of mass shootings. I mean one is way too many, but it's not common.
Street crime, on the other hand (like what happens in Chicago every weekend), is an epidemic and it's very easy to point to the causes.
"I am past the point of denial, something is wrong"
Oh I agree something is seriously wrong. I think our culture and moral compass need a major tune up, a return to 1950s family values, minus the racism.
