Last night my local news told me about a local high school graduation ceremony marred by gunfire resulting in two victims resulting in one death. Today in the headlines I read of a mass shooting at a high school graduation in Louisiana. Next, I googled "graduation ceremony violence" and see another account of violence in Grand Rapids MI. Have you heard of any of this happening in your communities this season? Be careful out there.

    I have to wonder just what kind of empty lives these schidtheads lead that makes them think they'll find meaning by engaging in such horrendous and barbaric acts of violent stupidity? What is the internal dialogue?

    Sounds like they blame everyone else for their own problems.

    Mainly just looking for their 15 minutes off fame/infamy.

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    More likely gang related or similar. It's a cultural thing.
