One of you all asked what do I think is wrong as to why we are suffering so many mass shooting. These are my opinions that you asked fo
I have many different views as to why they are happening. I believe there are many different reasons. Some, I can give an explanation for…others–I can’t.
In college, I studied criminology and some people get a rush from killing others. Sexual rush. I know it’s not looked at this way in these series of killings, but this needed to viewed to learn if we are looking at some kind of fetish, since everyone is allowed to exhibit whatever their sexual fantasy is nowadays. This could be a fantasy being fulfilled. Which is why a society shouldn’t allow every fantasy to be fulfilled.
I’m not saying this is the case with every mass shooting but it’s worth looking into. Had they paid this aspect more attention perhaps Samuel Little would’ve been caught much sooner.
But with most of these mass killings they seems to fit the profile of a society destroying itself with its unwillingness to change. People have no roots. No way of making life better. Loss of hope. Any and everything is acceptable behavior.
No direction in thoughts and reasoning. No foundation to rely upon. Oppression is breaking the back of society, not keeping the elite safe as they erroneously believe it will.
Consumed with idiomaticity. Which is the tendency of phrases to take on meanings that go beyond the meanings of their parts.
Consumed with idiotic behavior. Most adults today act like small children. Everyone is out for some kind of revenge against someone.
The wrong doers created this toxic atmosphere of revenge by constantly doing wrong and society aided and abetted them in creating this toxic society by never holding them accountable for their wrongs. Even in ancient times, this very behavior destroyed many societies.
We’re constantly involved in petty, sadist behavior. Schadenfreude has long ago ran amok. We get joy out of seeing other suffer and will bring about as much suffering as we can. Without looking ahead and seeing where this will eventually come back and bite you in the ass. It’s as dumb as the white supremacist flooding out that town in Georgia and was surprised when some of the flood water rode high and mighty into their section of the Lake Lanier county.
Oscarville was the name of the place. and the violent removal of its Black residents from Forsyth County years before Lake Lanier was built
Lake Lanier was forced upon the land of those affluent self-sufficient blacks. The Buford Dam was also created and flooded in order to cover up the hidden horror of the county’s past. There seemed to be very little punishment for racial injustice, egregious to some but appalling to most, in Forsyth County.
You can’t keep endlessly doing these things and expect your society to thrive.
We’re living in a society where systematic mistreatment is considered normal. Micromanaging the hell out of everything. The masses feel they have nothing left to live for. When people feels they have nothing to live for…they will harm out of hopelessness. That’s why petty laws that snuff out hope need to taken down. Done away with.
I know you’re going to say. “Many of these shooters were white.” Well, their way of thinking can almost certain be traced back to the ideology creating the destruction of Oscarville. This is why the White Privilege reality need to die. It needed to have perished years ago.
Many of these young men grew up listening to lies told by older racist men on how superior they are to everyone esle and went out into the real world where they had to show their abilities based upon talent and skills. Unlike in their community where things are given simply you’re you. They can’t handle not being viewed as superior and attack.
Another scenarios is we allow bullying and gangstalking to rule the day. Used all kind of scatterbrain reasoning to justify it even existing when it’s nothing more than the modernization of the old lynch mob. The cell phone and internet has made this crime much easier to commit. Congress refuse to pass law forbidding hacking.
Well, a person already driven mad by years of stalking, become not caring if they live or die. They become the shooter and takes out as many people as possible. People whom they believed were their stalkers or like those stalking them.
What I mean by this legalized harassment is some states have on record a collection agency can harass a person for twenty years over a minor debt. That makes not a lick of sense.
Why don’t just bring back the public debt hangings. That would be more merciful.
Some states have it where those who apply for disability are mercilessly harassed. Again, they place sadist in these jobs and then wonder why we are having mass shootings?
Those in positions of power know good and damn well it doesn’t take all the mean, diabolical heavy handiness in dealing with the poor which they ruthlessly apply dumb laws to do so. Disabled people are not criminals. Being sick or disabled is not a crime.
Another view is that people nowadays don’t know how to let go of a person. Be an adult and let go of a romantic relationship that isn’t working. They think like a small child and has no business getting romantically involved with anyone until they are mature enough to handle the possibilities of a broken heart when they choose to love someone. The risk of a broken heart is always there.
Despite what society says or songs praise–you can’t own people. You can’t own their emotions or their hearts. Marriage is not ownership. If the person is making you miserable… then let them go. The innocent people the shooters harmed haven’t a thing to do with that relationship, but people haven’t been forced to look at that immature behavior for what it is. This is part of the agenda of we have no strong roots today. No one to say, “Stop acting like a nut.”

No, it is not pure fantasy. That town was destroyed a lot like Greenwood and Rosewood. There are Black cemeteries under that water to this day. If you dive deep enough you can see the tombstones. They have pictures of the church steeples peering out the water.
People died when the white mob attacked. I guess the Tulsa Massacre was a fantasy too? The Tulsa race massacre, also known as the Tulsa race riot or the Black Wall Street massacre, was a two-day-long massacre that took place between May 31 – June 1, 1921, when mobs of white residents and the Oklahoma National Guard attacked and bombed the city.
The Rosewood massacre was a racially motivated massacre of black people and the destruction of a black town that took place during the first week of January 1923 in rural Levy County, Florida.
The same thing happened to Oscarville.

I did not mean to suggest that the forcing of blacks out of Forsyth County in 1912 were not true, They were true. I learned about all those events while growing up in the area. All that was common knowledge, both in North Georgia and in Atlanta among white and black communities. My statement was that it had nothing to do with the building of Buford Dam and Lake Lanier, or with the planning, design, or construction. None of the houses, churches, or buildings of any kind anywhere under the proposed lake below a certain level were torn down or moved. Tombstones were not moved, but the bodies were dug up and relocated. The dam was built to provide water for Atlanta, for flood control and for recreation. A steady, reliable water supply for Atlanta and flood control were badly needed. As far as the forcing blacks from Forsyth County, that was established history.

I supposed with it being common knowledge to the locals then it’s no big deal.
To the rest of the country and a lot of modern day people this is not common knowledge. People like Louis Gates had to tell us. PBS documentaries had to tell us there was an entire town is under the water there. Even today it is difficult to get a straight answer why did Oscarville looting that would have been a massacre happened?
North Georgia has a very terrible racist past and from what I’ve read it is still very racist.
According to the folks whose relatives were buried there, the bodies were not dug up and relocated. That’s what they are angry about. That’s why they are upset. In the African American Museum in Washington D.C. there are footage of the water slowly covering this place. So, whomever told you that pacifying story lied to you.

If they want to blame someone for graves not being relocated, the sole blame goes to the Army Corps of Engineers. After congress passed the bill to authorize the construction, the project was turned over to the Corps. All the funds used were federal funds appropriated by congress. The design and construction of the dam, and the acquisition of title to the property for the dam and the lake was handled by the Corps. All that land underneath the lake belongs ti the government and managed by the Corps. They made all the decisions about what building were torn down and which trees were cut. They also were in charge of relocating the bodies of the people buried in the cemeteries in the land to be covered by the lake. Local people had no input or say in
those decisions. All those matters were handled by the Corps of Engineers. The answers to why any graves were not relocated should be available in their records, or in newspaper coverage of the process. A lot of cemeteries, buildings, schools, churches, businesses, farms and communities were moved or flooded, without the consent of the families affected.

Ernest the best thing you can do when you find out your folks have lied, is say nothing. Stop defending their lies and actions. There’s nothing more to say. They aren’t going to admit they lied.
But what I’m talking about happened in 1912 not the 1950’s. The army as far as I know, didn’t have a Corps of Engineers back then. I agree, in the 1950’s the graves could have been moved because it was hard to miss them. Systematic racist was in effect as to why they were not moved. But a lot of the area was already under water. The town was being flooded out as early as 1913. I don’t know the name of the original dam but it was opened deliberately to flood the town. Yes, there a damn before the one built in the 1950’s.
That’s why it’s as hard to believe someone like Jimmy Carter came from North Georgia. That’s as hard to believe as it is to believe Lincoln came from Kentucky.

The graves had been flooded and under water, hidden intentionally, for forty years. The Corps of Engineers had no way to have known they were there.
As for Jimmy Carter, you find it hard to believe because you have a misconception of North Georgia and the people who live there.

This was to be expected; after the revelation of the lies and dogmatic manipulations of the patriarchal religions had given witness to their spiritual bankruptcy. The old god’s head decapitated the system’s desperate search for a replacement. It used the short-term solution of materialism to cover its nakedness, leaving behind a trail of destruction, while placating the gullible masses, without care for our fellow sentient beings. So what is left?
An organism that struggles to find meaning in itself will lash out and eventually self-destruct.
We can expect a prolonged period of cleansing to follow, violent and unforgiving, affecting the good and the bad equally, before the spirits are satisfied.

I won’t say solely that modern day materialism have much to do with what we are dealing with today. The mentality we see today is based a lot on classism which sprung from the order of the old world.
I wouldn’t point fingers at any religion for Wicca, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and all the other religions can be equally as delusional.
It’s not solely a case of the old god’s head decapitated the system’s, that’s desperate search for a replacement. This system was built upon injustices. Anytime there’s injustice there is bind to be discord and stability. The old system has never been fully addressed. There must be more equality than exist today for things to improve. If we keep going down the same road we will get the same result.
Like you said, we are spiritual bankrupted. Plain and simple as that. People can be spiritual bankrupted.
Oh you mean before the spirits {demons} are satisfied. Oh well, that is never going to happen. It is going to take people rising above their base instincts and doing better.
