In 1958 I was 15 years old. If I had turned on the morning news on my 14" b/w TV and listened to today's news, I would think I had accidentally tuned into a horror movie. A deranged man killed a 6 year old boy by stabbing him multiple times. Why? Because he was middle eastern.
Here are some more of the horrifying headlines I've read in the past day or two... and these instances didn't even involve guns:
11-Year-Old Girl Struggles to Walk After Being Doused in Acid by 12-Year-Old Girl
Long Island Serial Killer Suspect’s Kids Living in ‘Waking Horror Show,’ Attorney Says
10-Year-Old Boy Found in Trash at Illinois Home Likely Had Been There Since December; Mom Arrested
Chicago Police Searching for Man Who Tried to Kidnap 8-Year-Old Boy Through Car Window
What is happening to the human race? Is it the atmosphere of rage and discontent? Racism? Homophobia? Or just mass insanity? I just don't know.
We need more emphasis on mental health care, for the well being of society and ways to separate, our thoughts from views of hatred we are taught from family members, disinformation news, social media and yes also through religious means, when not ministered in a caring matter, but rather in a militant fashion.
I would vote for mass insanity. It gets worse when you try to point this out to them and they do not agree, trying to give some rational reason. it's insanity. I watched a TV program last night where the 2 killers were finally caught and one guy said he went with the others idea of murdering this girl "because they were best friends." A girl was killed because she said something the guy did not like.
