There is something wrong in the psyche of America. Actually all over the world, but America feels like the center of it all. So much rage and anger and unexplainable violent behavior.
It used to be I'd turn on the news and see a lot of crime, but it was crime with a reason in mind. You know, man mugged and his wallet stolen, convenience store robbed, etc. Now it's mass shootings or a high school kid beats his teacher half to death or a man assaults a stranger on the street for no reason or the story you've got here.
And on and on every day.
Uncontrollable rage and erratic behavior as an epidemic. And it seems like its on the increase.

@robingoodfellow But is it really as bad as the constant stream of media makes it out to be? Crime in the US is only half of what it was at its peak.

@ninalanyon but it's a different kind of crime. I understand what you're saying, and the media these days with all the 24 hour coverage trying to fill hours does talk stuff up to a great degree. But what I'm seeing on both the local and national level are stories of crimes fueled by rage and emotional instability. Everyday.

@robingoodfellow Increasing inequality of income and wealth probably have something to do with it. Such things remind me of Michael Douglas's character in Falling Down. He reaches a point where he feels that he has no power to change his life for the better and goes berserk.

Drugs and poverty.

Ever see a group of lies hanging around, say, on a fence? Leave them alone and they'll just walk around on the fence. Agitate them and they all take off, flying their own paths through the air.
People are like that. Sometimes, symptoms can lay dormant or managed, but if the environment becomes too overwhelming, it's going to jump the wall.

We are a mess and broken as a country...that's the truth
@Chernobylplaygrounds The question is: How do we get the country unbroken? Personally, I'm too old and not rich enough to immigrate. So the only the thing to do is fix the U.S.A.

I think what we need to do is get all the remotely sane people out of America, quarantine the country, and call it a loss.
@LordShadowfire Call me crazy, but I feel a responsibility to help fix the country.
