2. We need to emulate the Military

We need our military today more than ever. Just because this kid flipped out and began killing people -- we can't blame that on the military -- I'm going to venture a guess that there was no one to support him when he returned from the war. No loving family -- no loyal friends. We, as a society, need to practice a little more compassion for on another -- reaching out to veterans, the homeless, the disenfranchised. We live in our own little bubbles and let the guy next to us spiral out of control -- we need to emulate the Military and take care of each other, putting our own comfort on the line to save one another. That's how we end these kinds of tragedies.
