In Florida's defense (and that hardly ever happens), the guy was from NY. Sure, chucking a jar of blue cheese dressing at a man wielding a pistol was Florida-level crazy; but the Darth Vader robbery disguise was introduced from a different ecosystem.

Near the west tip of the state, near Niagara Falls. Might as well be Canada.

Florida is not the source of all crazy, rather it is a shining beacon drawing nutters from all across the land like moths to the flame. It whispers to them "Come to the swamp; this is your tribe. No longer will you have to feel persecuted for flinging reptiles at shopkeepers, or trying to use the barter system to pay for early bird specials. This is a place where you too can dress up like Darth Vader and ingest enough meth to kill a horse. Here is your safe space to copulate with crocodiles while wearing crocs."

Yeah, you could use it to build hotels that aren't tiny, dingy rat-cages.

I passed my Master Electrician Exam today. So that's something I won't have to worry about for the rest of my career.

Nearly everyone that speaks English as their first language in Florida is from New York. If not that, then New Jersey or somewhere in that north-east vicinity.

Are you sure it was a terrorist, or was it just a troubled white dude?

Must have been. He killed two civilians and a police officer and they didn't kill him.

What were you doing, rummaging around in the bargain bin looking for a decent hotel chain? Just steal the plastic ones out of a monopoly set, it'd still be an upgrade.

...Hey Jophiel, the Pope sucks. And, and, and Bijou's blind, so, uh... Yeah. Take that, Asylum!

I've still got it.

Okay, so, uh, I misread what ugly said as 'personally upset', uh, I didn't really read the thread, I thought he was talking about himself. But I guess that makes that post work better so, you know, that's good. Sort of.

Uh, too bad about that crazy dude, though, huh?

Ugly manages a chain of crack houses?

True, this dude was white so "troubled". If he's been a brown guy shooting in a grocery store, it would have been the coming of Syrian Refuge ISIS. White guy murdering people in a PP clinic though is "he needs mental health!"

According to his neighbors in NC, the guy did have some disordered thoughts that made having a simple conversation with him difficult.

Even so, I don't think the problem can be boiled down to "mental health issues" or "gun control". I think it is a much larger problem, I think it is cultural, and I think it has to do with our collective belief that violence is an acceptable way to solve any issue. Every issue. We have a hammer, and every problem looks like a nail. We have a delusion that *** kicking is the same thing as problem solving, and I don't know how we're going to overcome that, or whether we will.

Real men don't think, in our cultural narrative. Real men shoot their problems. Thinking is part of the despised "elite class". Reasoning, compromise, consensus are all somehow seen as weak. Compromise may as well be abject retreat.

I don't know what it's going to take to solve this. I do know that screaming at each other, about gun control or anything else, is not going to solve it.

Getting rid of all the Republicans would be a huge first step.
