Let's keep in perspective here that 10 people are dead because an apparent sociopath decided to kill them like fish in a barrel. My prayers and sympathies go out to their friends and families for their loss.
What this shows I think more than anything that this is not about American culture, or war torn countries culture or like matters. This yet another school shooting shows once again that there are bad people in the world who will harm and kill innocents just because they can and that we are all vulnerable to meeting such evil to varying degrees. The police won't save you. The government won't save you. You will be at that moment on your own and you will be armed and prepared to save yourself and your loved ones or perhaps even innocents around you such as others' children, or you will not. If you are not, you will be a statistic. If you are you may or may not be pilloried or declared a hero. Those of us who are of a sheepdog mentality will know that you were just a person who had previously made a decision to survive and protect those around you if possible.
