Oh my THOR,
Americans, both left but especially right, are stick on motive.
It doesn't mater if it is a black guy, a white guy, a veteran, a Muslim, a pissed of worker, an angry school kid, or mentally ill person. The one thing they all had in common was EASY ACCESS TO FIREARMS.
I mentioned before, it is especially disturbing to me that even when GOP congressmen and country music fans are targets and still the right doesn't offer up anything but "sell more and do nothing".
Motive is the distraction, and the NRA loves it. Not the members, but the leadership who run it and their vile marketing of always scaring the crap out of everyone because the sane say, "Hey guys, what we are doing isn't working."
We make too many and we hand them out way too easily.
People are always going to want a motive, a reason why, if you will. It helps with closure. I have a friend who's son was depressed. The son killed his grandmother and then took his own life. There was no note. For a long time, my friend has and continues to struggle with why her son did that. She lost two people she loved that day. She will never receive answers. She won't ever have proper closure because she will never get those questions answered.
So yes - you make fine points but to question the people who want to know the "how" behind a senseless crime, really isn't fair. Unless you are sitting in their shoes, who are any of us to say people shouldn't question motive?
