>>15219194These shootings are lines of business. The threapeutic state hit full service capacity a long time ago, and it keeps cranking out more and more credentialed service providers. The education industry is well on its way to being a 2 trillion a year devouring abomination. Hundreds of cities are hanging on by their fingernails thanks to local colleges and their affiliated businesses. Thousands of these colleges too are hanging on by their fingernails. We have today the announcement, as expected, this kid was "on the radar" as a future shooter. The therapeutic state successfully offloads responsibility to its reactive element, law enforcement, and forwards the narrative that further, perhaps universal proactive intervention is necessary to prevent such tragedies in the future. So many tragedies packed on top of each other you become numb. Why all the way to Buffalo? Because no-one knows all the cities closer and they'd get fewer clicks. Find a store full of people no-one gives a damn about. Monetise their murder. Media calculates ROI. Education lobbies harder. Law enforcement doesn't need good PR. Anti-cop mandates generally take hold at the municipal level. Everyone just walking with their heads down hoping today isn't the day they get to play their part in the rebuilding of SimEarth.
