Well, in fairness. That shooter was from out of town anyway. He came down from Baltimore, Maryland or somewhere up there. So... not really all that shocked. It's a pattern though and it's getting old. I saw this coming two weeks ago. We seem to average one crazy person popping off somewhere around our country every 90 days or so. 

This feels like a direct consequence of handing out participation trophies to everybody and trying to make everybody feel good instead of introducing these kids at an earlier age to the cold hard fact that the world isn't going to keep up with those lofty expectations and back rubs. That's not how it works. There's competition all around us 24/7. It's what's driven humanity since our inception. Adapt or die. 

In this case. This punk [BLEEP] [BLEEP] decided to die but he just had to bring a few people down with him. We now have a generation with some cowards in it that can't handle business with their fists or take a loss on the chin and look to get better for the next tournament or what have you. It's sad and pathetic.
