18. Interesting theory

People are constantly fed a diet of fear, and since fear isn't rational, they can't understand that a lot of their fears are not justified. However, with each senseless stupid shooting, their fear gets ramped up even more.

And the country is changing. People fear change. People don't willingly give up power, so when inevitable change results in a shift of power, they get violent.

I do wonder if seeing their cult leader arrested brings out a sense of desperation. They don't want to see that he is a criminal and circumstances are forcing it on them.

The cases we've seen this week are all about people somehow feeling they need to use deadly force against people on their property. A little girl with a basketball. A teenage boy at the wrong house. A car filled with young women backing out of a driveway. School cheerleaders mistaking the wrong car after practice. And these are all kids. Unarmed, non-threatening kids. But the one thing they all have in common is "encroaching" on someone else's property.

So what is it about people that they're so territorial they have to shoot at kids on their property? Is it narcissistic rage? "This is MY PROPERTY, how dare you?"

Their territorial rage is fed by the constant barrage of lies and manufactured fear. And everybody demands to have everything their way; hence, narcissism.

And it should go without saying that more guns = more gun deaths.
