Mass shooting/killing in Indianapolis FedEx this evening

[Warrigal]

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote a poem which was set to music "I heard the bells on Christmas day..." With the hook of "Peace on Earth, good will towards Men".

IF only someday.

I've never studied Longfellow so I had to look him up.
I like his thinking. There is always hope, even in moments of greatest despair

They could ban high capacity semi-automatic rifles. That's the weapon of choice in almost every mass killing.

That would ban future sales. How would that solve the problem of the thousands of them already in the hands of criminals?
And when something is banned, a black market is created for it & the price simply goes up. Illegal drugs have been banned for years. That has not hurt the drug trade.

In this location they couldn't even carry cell phones that would've allowed a call for help or a shelter in place text alert.

Setting that aside a lot of workplaces become us against them. It's not even management v employee it various factions. No one likes butt suckers and considered many of them spies for management when working with them. Then when there are managers and employees that don't get along both wind up going into battle everyday. Just the sight of each other. If this guy was verbalizing threats at the workplace and they didnt take it seriously someone failed.

And, if complaints about a hostile atmosphere were ignored, (as they usually are), that would be another failure.
