Not a psychopath, just an angry attention whore with access to a decent weapon.

It's culturally ingrained, it's an enjoyable thing to do, and it's already quite regulated as far as drugs go: we're doing plenty about alcohol.

The rest is on the user.

It's not about saving lives. It's about image Tongue Don't kid yourself thinking that all deaths are seen in the same light.

Alcohol usually uses the word 'manslaughter' and is associated with 'accident'. Mass butchery uses the word 'murder' and is associated with 'intended' Wink
"and it's already quite regulated as far as drugs go: we're doing plenty about alcohol."...not true...alcohol kills more people per year than all the drugs and gun violence combined...we're not doing anywhere near enough about it...the death rate linked to alcohol proves that...
Quote:"Alcohol related injuries and deaths in the United States is a major problem that has seen little improvement over the last decade.
In fact, alcohol related car accidents kill more people between the ages of 17 and 34 than any other cause. Alcohol is also closely associated with homicides, suicides, workplace injuries, domestic violence, assault, and complications and death resulting from alcohol related disease like cirrhosis of the liver.
Understanding the potentially injurious or fatal risks that people take when they drink is essential to creating an educated public that is more cognizant of the need for self-control over alcohol."

"Alcohol usually uses the word 'manslaughter' and is associated with 'accident'."...not when alcohol is directly linked to a willful act of murder...those who 'accidentally' killed others while under the influence of alcohol were aware of the potential consequences before they decided to get drunk...I don't hold them guiltless....
