Our society here in America is definitely toxic... more resources need to be spent on fixing our citizens here at home & not giving our tax dollars to fund other countries, including to NATO.   We have over 50,000 homeless on the streets nightly in Los Angeles alone.   Until America focuses on fixing itself, the senseless violence is going to continue... a lot of it here is due to mental illness & gangs... all so pathetic.  I'm glad you decided against going to Walmart & you are safe & weren't around that violence.

You can't "fix" the citizens.  And it is not mental illness.  People are evil.  It starts with the brats who are let act like heathens. Parents, schools, who ever are no longer allowed to punish or discipline kids. You have to let them do whatever they want. You can't tell then NO.  You can't hurt their feelings.  And heaven forbid you bust their butt for something.  THIS is the problem.  You cannot teach a kid that the world revolves around them, they get everything they want, and you win whether you even participate or not. They they get out in the real world and find out it isn't that way and they can't handle it.  They apply for a job with my company and I don't hire them so they come back and shoot me because I can't tell them no.

And I actually KNOW a guy who had his own business and he fired a man for stealing his tools.  The thug came back the next morning and shot the guy in chest.  He died a few hours later.

Sadly, there is nothing that we can do to prevent these senseless shootings. Even if we pass a law for gun control, that doesn't mean that all guns will be off the streets. Mental Illness and evil people play a part in this BUT not all people with mental illness does this SO ..maybe it's not mental illness.
We all just have to stay prayed up in this day and time. We have to be vigilant because the devil is busy today and always have been. In churches, they have decided to have armed officers at the doors to protect the people to worship. When I was in church back in the day, we NEVER had to worry about someone coming in our church and killing people. It has gotten really bad now.
