The recent proliferation of violent shootings and mass murders in cities and towns around the nation have spurred many people to ask, “What is going on?”
Puzzled, America’s backbone is being challenged by myriad developments converging at one time, say social scientists around Virginia.
“People are stressed out, grieving the loss of loved ones, the loss of freedoms due to the pandemic and being at home all day long,” said Dr. Cynthia Ellison, a licensed psychologist and director of the counseling center at Virginia State University. |

File under "DUH."
Some people are just criminals, or criminals-in-waiting.
But the government can't enact broad infringements of the whole population's fundamental rights because a miniscule percentage might go off the chain. That's called Prior Restraint, and it is unconstitutional.
Liberals can't seem to get that through their granite heads. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
