Its getting very ridiculous that people would even have the mental state to do this across the country

You sir are a victim of alarmist media.

I bet you think flying is pretty dangerous too huh? Well, you better not drive either, because driving is 32x more dangerous as flying.

There is no epidemic of shootings. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's just realistic. People flip out and overreact with this kind of stuff. Don't like airport security? You have yourself to blame.

Perhaps its not an epidemic, but its been happening much more frequently this year.

Dumb luck. It'll go down, then back up. There's nothing special about it. Bad things happen.

It's been a tough year when it comes to stuff like this. That being said people that want to put blinders on and think nothing is wrong will continue to do so. In America, we have long sense moved past the point where there is any common ground on any issue. If you say that we need better mental health programs, there's the other side that will complain about the cost. If you say we need to be tougher on guns, people will claim it's an attack on their constitutional rights. If you want to compromise on simple budget issue, people will kick and scream the entire way.

The only thing you can do is live your life in the manner you see fit, because America has long sense moved past the point of having a rational, inward look at it's policy, not just domestically, but internationally as well.

I would guess some of them are just being copy cats looking for attention. I think some teens attempted to do something similar after Columbine.

Not true. 2012 is not statistically anomalous when it comes to shootings. More violent maybe, but the number of shootings hasn't shot up, despite what some may have you believe.

Perhaps the media are bored and have nothing else to report on so they went to shootings. Give it a week and they will be on to something else.

There's always shootings in the world man, it's just that the media has been actually reporting them so people are finding out about it now. But there have been quite a few reported major shootings this year.

I wonder what the cause of it all is... ?

The lesson here is:

There is, and shall always be, crazy people out in the world.
