Gilroy Garlic Festival

I've hung onto this for a week.  The little 6 year-old boy who was shot and killed at the Gilroy Garlic Festival was the son of an industry partner.  Imagine this.  Father wakes up on a Sunday to take his kid to a family-oriented event.  Some whack job kills not only his kid, but others as well. 

Now, within a week, there have been two other shootings at public places where innocent people are just doing their thing.  What is driving all this violence? 

I can't help but notice that all three shooters were young, white males. 

.....anybody else notice????

White males are feeling isolated and threatened.  Lashing out is the response.  White males are blamed for everything that's wrong in the world.  It's the only group where racism, sexism, and discrimination is allowed and even encouraged. I'm in no way condoning the shootings, but the problem runs much deeper than the surface gun control. 

I FEEL SORRY FOR MEN.  Society has shamed them for having a penis.  They have no healthy outlets nor support.  We have shamed them for all of their natural urges and have given absolutely no direction on how to express their urges in a constructive manner.  All of that shame and anger doesn't go away.  It builds pressure over time and eventually explodes.
