And how can someone be so poised to shoot & kill people while they're shooting video?
Like no conscious at all.......like he was programmed to kill & thought nothing of it.
Mental Break. He was The Walking Dead. A literal Time Bomb. He broke from failing to get the kush life he desired ($$$$) from a bogus discrimination lawsuit or out of court settlement, he provoked shit he'd felt would lead to that, get him that..he put in so much time plotting manipulating...acting as he felt he needed to...provoking....to get a fat payday.
He reached Crescendos, Pinnacles of belief even absolute SURENESS that he'd done what he needed to get the fat payday so he could be free to live as he desired, no work...travel...constant Gay Sex but only repeated failure came.
His disappointment was deeper than most of us can imagine. Try to visualize what you'd feel if you had a PowerBall ticket with numbers you'd played for years watched the broadcast saw your numbers come up then the ticket got stolen.
Now imagine that one of your Co-Workers in fact a girl who'd eventually wind up in your spot doing your job and another guy you worked with were the ones who you suspected stole the ticket.
This Cat was Dead long before he killed himself and these innocent people. he "knew" this. The Will To Live though...within the Human is very very powerful. There has to be a very serious Break...to overcome that. Really Really Serious Break. That Break finally came for this useless fucktard asshole.
Only difference between today and 30 years ago is technology. Crazy people were doing crazy shit like this back then too. We just didn't have smartphones back then to record everything, and we didn't have social media to share everything instantly. Thats the only difference.
-crazy people were still killing people
-some police were still beating people down and shooting them without merit
-newspapers were still posting the most graphic , attention getting photos they could get their hands on
-kids were still getting bullied by other kids
-perverts were still raping kids
-there were still race riots (looting, destruction, etc)
The only difference is not everything was being recorded live back then and able to be replayed instantly one million times. So please stop with the "what is the world coming to " dialogue because all the same shit was happening 30 years ago when you were kids too.

30 yrs ago u could leave ur door unlocked. U knew ur neighbors had the same moral values as u did. U saw them on church on Sunday. You could ride your bike 15 miles away from home at 10 yrs old and not worry about perverts or bad people. Sure you had a bad apple every now and then but nothing like today. A nation is turning its back on a lot of things and morals have done a 360
There is another MAJOR "difference" you are failing to consider.
Psychotropic Medications..or whatever they're called...SSRI's whatever....we've a literal Pandora's Box here thats been opened within the last decade as result of Pharmaceuticals. BIG Box. Might be a BOTTOMLESS BOX in fact. No way to tell whats gonna pop out of this box 'cept by time. Many moments of which will be horror-filled.
The very least of the conversation...speculation about whats in the box is we've no way of knowing the Long term effects of disabling receptors within the Brain...."subduing" Mental Illness....in the ShortTerm....more known (able to be seen) is the bad results that coming off these Meds can lead to.
You totally need to include, within a debate about the "difference" 'tween now and the past a mention of Pharmaceuticals.
Theres also more widely accessible and arguably more powerful weapons of destruction...available.
...really theres a lot MORE "differences" than just what you say. Though I agree what you say is a Primary (and utterly saddening) Difference.
You are wrong.

21 dead
San Ysidro.
The shooting remained the deadliest mass murder committed in America until the 1991 Luby's shooting,[SUP][1][/SUP] and remains the deadliest shooting rampage in which the perpetrator was killed by police as opposed to suicide
