Maybe part, just part of the problem...

...is that we, as a society, have stopped raising adults and have decided to raise children...

Deb and I talk about this a lot as in her 37 year teaching career she has witnessed the evolution. It seems that many parents nowadays think that giving their kids whatever they want and never making them accountable for anything is modern parenting. My SIL thinks she's "hip" because she goes out drinking with her kids and when they were young, all their friends always wanted to hang out at their house. It never dawned on her that having a well stocked bar downstairs that they could sneak drinks from along with an indoor heated pool (in Wisconsin) may have been the reason rather than her being a "cool" mom. My brother and his wife being the "cool" parents just might be the reason they now have a 32yo son with his wife and three kids living in their basement.
hell, can I come over?

Yep. Another part is that the kids are taught that they are the most important person in the world. No empathy for others, everything is about what they want... so, when things get tough, they lash out at everyone around them that aren't fulfilling the role they are supposed to play (in their deranged little minds).

The tragic school shooting here in Florida brought out numerous examples of this. Several of the kids that were interviewed were demanding an audience with the President so that he could explain personally what he's doing to protect children and so that they could tell him what he needs to do. What on earth made them think that they were entitled to a meeting with the leader of the most powerful country in the world just by demanding it?
This stuff comes from anti-gun activists like Soros and Bloomberg. All they need is a gutsy teenager(s) willing to challenge authority. Seems like what they breed in public schools, especially in liberal south Florida.
Turns out the child doesn't need to be a teenager....
Old article on kids raising kids...
http://www.nytimes.com/1991/08/11/nyregion/l-children-raising-children-735291.html
as children raising children will lead to serious problems of addiction, delinquency, learning difficulties as well as a general inability to contribute to the common good of families, neighborhoods and communities.
Looks like the worries were correct, the method was what was wrong.
As far as parental failings go, I think these are at fault for many societal and community ills, but not likely a common characteristic of mass shootings or mass school shootings. It, like the so called evil black rifle is low hanging fruit.
Edit
Here's another thought.
The left is collecting and reporting data on the commonality of the evil black rifle.
Who's collecting and reporting data on the commonality of the evil black souls committing mass murder?
One man calmly attempted to explain that laws are not changed overnight. That there is process and that by the time you are a junior in high school you should have been taught this. If not the school failed you. The kids reply was to flip the guy off and start screaming no more guns.
I get the kids are upset, but I see nothing but a spoiled kid crying for something he was about and not getting it. The way the liberal gun grabbers are using them is disgusting
Funny thing i keep seeing the same kids yelling and crying over and over. I am very curious, who is paying for all the busses, hotel rooms and food. The liberal s usings these kids hopefully have a reservation in hell for using something so horrible for a political agenda.
I was going to post that. I saw the two on the bottom last night on the news. They sure got a lot of air time.

Plot
After the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Union planted a number of long-term, deep-cover sleeper agents all over the United States, spies so thoroughly brainwashed that even they did not know they were agents and can be activated only by a special code phrase. (The phrase is a line from the Robert Frost poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," followed by the agent's real first name.) Their mission was to sabotage crucial parts of the civil and military infrastructure in the event of conflict.
Yeah, funny how the FBI sometimes gets tips on a future shooter, and they just happen to "fail" to do anything about it. These school shootings seem to be part of a pattern. Remember that these government agencies are headed by democrud hacks that implement policy their way, regardless of who's president.
What have they done to earn an audience with any important person? Grief and anguish earns some sympathy, but does not qualify one to have an adult conversation on any subject that I know of. Trump should tell these kids to stay home and comfort the families of these poor, dead kids, and come back to him when they have done some work aimed at actually providing a real solution. He won't, of course, because his huge ego tells him that he can flip their attacks on him into something beneficial to him.
Masterminds like Soros and Bloomberg are active in this kind of BS, and they have money, buses and advisors at the ready for action at any time they're needed.
:agree:
Kids used to be junior members of the family. Now they are the "most important" members of the family. They are just playing by the rules they have been taught.
