First we look a the hero of the mases for killing 255 people from far away.

And then we see it was all for naught since one of his pals kills him while at the shooting range. (Irony anyone?)

The guns control thread is elsewere so that is not what I want to discus (although it makes the point that even combat hardened veterans are not safe from some loon with an itchy finger)
What I want to discuss here is this:
Is America creating such an atmosphere of death and violence worship that it is creating in it's own citizens the same thing they claim to be fighting abroad?
I understand that it seems that this "super sniper" was gunned down by some derranged fellow (probably from post war stress dissorder or whatever it is called) and not a terrorist o some other phantom conjured up by the media in the states, but is it possible that by engaging in so much war (more that a decade straight this time) the american society is becoming so ill that shootings are becoming somewhat commonplace?
Are americans not worried about this?
Do they not see the relationship between invading a country to steal its natural resources and having horrific violence at home?
This interests me since my own country is descending into a violence spiral that I believe is roting our society so that violence is becoming commonplace; but we can't aviod it drug cartels are a part of our society (never mind taht americans want thier mariguana and won't do jack shit to stop the violence over here) butt in america I believe society could be healed easily just by stoping the invasions and interventions and drone murderings etc... and yet, they'd rather have cheap oil.
This fellow died the way he killed so many others in the name of peace in his country, he leaves a widow and orphans, did society failed him? Did america do it's part in keeping him safe once he came back from murdering all those people in the name of peace, good and democracy?
Is America becoming so wrapped by the violence it commits on others that it's society is beggining to destroy itself because of said violence?
What do you think?
