Re: The American disease
What’s really baffling is that they seem to be just accepting this as the price of “freedom”. They are a strange, very foreign people.

Re: The American disease
They seem to be so deeply conditioned in their psyche that guns are a important part of the price of freedom.
Sadly it won't change not in a thousand years as there are plenty of things that are good about America but that is not one of them.

As opposed to the huge number of gang related killings?

The scope of the dispute became clear at a bond hearing for Johnson on Wednesday when Houston police Detective Adam Bock disclosed more than 50 deaths since 2011.

That's just a dispute between 2 gangs out of 300, in one city(ie Houston), in one state(ie Texas).

In Texas, an El Paso-based gang has spread across the U.S., and has also sent some members to Mexico for training with the Zetas. They became a transnational gang due to the drug trafficking industry.
...
In those days the bloodshed in Juarez was so great that a day without a murder was front-page news. At trial, one Barrio Azteca member testified to killing 100 people a month.

Re: The American disease
After seeing the post from nomadking, I conclude there is no difference between the USA and the Middle East as far as relentless and stupid murder goes
although the USA have a greater density of Macdonalds outlets

Re: The American disease
These "mass shootings" make the headlines, whilst hundreds die every week due to guns in the USA. And many are gang-related.

There’s no justification for what he did.

Police say they have a 21-year-old man in custody in connection with the shooting, and they believe he is the author of a racist, anti-Hispanic document laying out his motivations for the shooting.
