6. What would you have us do, as a society?

Institutionalize every person who is a "goth" or has a mental disorder? Cage them like animals?

What about the shooter at Aurora? I haven't seen anyone say he was anything but a normal guy who just decided to do evil.

These events are terrible - TERRIBLE - but there is no solution to them. They represent an ugly, ugly, ugly fact of life.

We are powerless to stop them if we want to remain a free society based on the rule of law and the rights of the individual.
