While the fix is a difficult one, the root causes keep rearing their ugly head. We have a new American culture that is much different than decades past. We've gone from knowing our neighbors, interacting/bettering our neighborhoods, getting involved and stopping situations deemed outside social norms, and living lives disconnected from reality, yet constantly connected through technology. In short, Americans are selfish. Get back to family, neighboring, and correcting public wrongs. People are brave as hell online, yet cower in the face of conflict/correction for the better. This psycho dude was throwing up big ol' flashing signs, yet nobody lifted a finger to call it out. We can't ignore glarring signs and just pretend it will go away and not eventually empact us. Be a snitch, rat, or whatever term you want to use. Call it like you see it and start being an involved citizen.
