"Young punk looks like he has never shaved... He has destroyed his life with drugs and guns..."

[kentuck]

Overheard in a conversation with some friends.

It's sad in so many ways. But drugs and guns do not mix. Guns do not mix with an unstable mind or hateful heart.

How can we save humanity if humanity continues on this suicide mission?

1. Drugs & guns didn't sew a Rhodesian & apartheid-era SA flag on his jacket

Drugs & guns didn't make him tell "a lot of racist jokes".
Drugs & guns didn't make him drive 2-3 hours from where he lived to kill people at a particular church.

Drugs & guns didn't motivate him.

Raw, naked racism did. And the quieter, better-cloaked varieties enabled him.

2. I imagine drugs have little to do with it

North Carolina has the ugliest gerrymandered district I ever seen specifically to limit majority of black voters into a single thin district that stretches across the state from Greensboro to Charlotte. He may or may not be doing drugs (if he is what?) since majority of which don't shoot up a place.

As to your question I do see humanity on a suicide mission and if I were to make a prediction humanity isn't going to be saved due to lives destroyed for profit.
