You're right, but the tragic thing is that maybe these are symptoms of a bigger problem with society that the public indoctrination is partly to blame for as they are the molders/indoctrinators of US society. Why target a school why not something else what is the message here?

Maybe we could make schools just like airports with metal detectors and pat downs for security? But it would be kind of expensive and I don't think it would ever happen.
Could part of the problem be the public indoctrination/education system needs a complete overhaul in the US. I started school in the 1950s we had some pretty mean teachers that would abuse physically, I remember when I was 10 being knocked around and shoved up against the wall in the back coat room by a teacher trying to get a confession from me. So it could be that maybe if a more in depth investigation could lead to some reforms in the US school/indoctrination system. I think with all these acts of violence a serious look at what school mandated by the state is all about, what it is trying to accomplish, and such is called for.

Yoga Sutras Of Pantanjali (1600 Years Ago)
by Brokeback Watchtower ini know a lot of people might not want anything to do with any religion and i can sympathize, the bible an ancient collection of books compiled by the catholic church authorities and the some what restricted version by protestant movement we have the less voluminous of collected "holy" books call the king james.
which i think we have a lot to learn from them if we look at them from a more psychological point of view and not force them to be literally understood.. i think it is the same with these sutras, what is it telling us about the mind?
what can we expect from certain meditative practices.

Today, a lot boys are holed up in their rooms sitting behind computer screens isolating themselves from actual human contact.They have no outlet for the hard wired tendencies they possess and are sometimes given the message that these tendencies are bad or wrong. The men in their life may be absent or unsure of their own role as males. The resulting resentment and frustration they feel festers into mental illness.
Petzahut, I find this very interesting, and I think it is important to honor maleness as well as femaleness and to have healthy outlets for this. I think you may be on to something as a stress relieving factor could have a healthy outcome for male aggressive drives.(This is why Shadow work is so good get to know your repressed tendencies, and honor them, so they don't sneak up on you and bite you in the ass), I hope some major well respected psychologist give us some pointers on this. I'm all for being one's authentic self in a healthy way for them and society in general. One thing sadly lacking in US culture is Rites of Passage which I think might be a solution but how do to get the general public all on board?

I wonder what advice CG Jung would give?

There are studies that suggest that since the "women's movement" young males are becoming increasingly lost because large numbers of fathers are either absent entirely or are distant
That may be a very minor contributor to the problem at best but hardly a major factor in my opinion.
I'm leaning toward gun laws and easy gun access as a major contributor, it think that's what make the US have this major problem were as the rest of the world doesn't have this problem to the degree the US does. -

Ending Of Suffering/Enlightenment/Nirvana Mind States Discussion
by Brokeback Watchtower ini put this under news and world events.
because i didn't know where else to put it.. anybody interested in this subject feel free to comment a sorta satsang if you will.. do you think it is possible for one to achieve a mind state free from fear and all other negative emotional states and reach a higher plane of mental processes in encumbering the brain of processing negative emotions.. i think insight can be gained by looking at this subject psychologically and if their is a way to this nirvana state take it.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/nirvana.

I think all humans are capable of horrendous acts given the right circumstances. I don't know the media is at fault by reporting it as news. It only seems endlessly because of the increase in there happening.
I think all schools should be given funding from the state and federal to beef up security so that school can be a safe place to get a federally mandated public education.

The recent rise in these shootings tells us something, what is it?

What’s your favorite "News" website?
by Wonderment innews in general are supposed to be unbiased.
but given how commercial and political interests get their tentacles around them, finding a fully unbiased news website is not so easy.. here in america some would rather trust bbc or reuters than they do cnn or fox news.
any favorites?.
