Another week another shooting, this one at a church. These shootings are coming at a more rapid pace and are becoming more difficult to understand. Why? What is wrong with our society? Have our lives gone so out of control that in order to be known that you have to do something so bad that your name gets out there? Maybe the media should vow not to say the names of the shooters more than just once. Honestly if I thought back to all of the mass shootings that we have heard about over the past decade, I couldn’t name a single one, I may notice a name but for a million dollars I wouldn’t be able to name a name. I heard this morning that the President called the shooting a "mental health problem," not an issue with US gun laws. I believe that there is more of a push to recognize mental health issues now more than before, as we are seeing more mental health facilities pop up and more mental health specialists showing up in areas where people gather, especially kids, there has been a push in La Crosse at the YMCA and at the Boys and Girls Clubs. I hope this helps with our future, and that we don’t continue to see these mass shootings.
