wouldn’t have been too hard to title it “party leaders visit scene“ surely?
 
I imagine the right wing US commentators are excitedly blathering about how mass gun ownership would have prevented this or some such nonsense. I haven’t the heart to read too much social media this morning - got into a disagreement with an American yesterday over the meaning of the word ‘surgery’ and that was enough for me :D
He would have had his own knife handy etc
 
As I get older, and being a person who uses Buddhism as a way through life, I am completely and always aware that everyone has delusions. People assume and speculate things all the time ( myself also although I am aware as much as I can be, not to do that ). I find that if you apply the truth to anything that it is quite often efficacious. This isnt an existential thread and so that path doesnt need to be persued in here. When I am in truth mode I can establish things. However by nature I cannot take things very seriously for long, and enjoy humour.

Eh?
 
This is so broad as to be meaningless though.

Societal conditions are thus.
A murder happens.
ergo societal conditions created the murder...

new thing about the motivation of the murderer merges.
That's social conditions too.

pfft.

Thing in this case is that the victim played an integral and active role in creating those conditions.

That's where my reaction to this is focussed.
