To say it was a difficult trip is an understatement. While individuals were still sorting out the situations in Minnesota and Utahns were talking about the shooting at Saturday’s opposition, the trip in the Beehive State wrapped up on Sunday nights with the murders of three persons, with two people injured in a shooting at WestFair, an annual event in West Valley City, Utah. According to KUTV , a 41-year-old female and an 8-month-old baby were shot and died at the hospital, an 18-year-old died at the scene, and two teenagers were shot in the arm.

The cause? A battle between two groups of people. The 18-year-old was in one of the parties; the two youths who were shot may have been involved, while the person and the girl had absolutely nothing to do with the encounter. Two people are dead because of a fight, and just because they had the misery to be standing near the soldiers at the time. A sixteen-year-old was taken into custody.
When I was in the media company, I was often asked if people were just becoming more aggressive or if we were just hearing about incidents more often because of the speed at which information was starting to go. It’s real that we are barraged by articles like never before. Consider this op-ed from Tipp Insights about just scrapping two parts because they aged out before anyone could actually distribute them. Therefore yes, the announcement tumbles around the internet, and we find ourselves overflowing in headlines that may or may not be appropriate. All too often, the media has been seasoned to style to meet the needs of a tale. So, yes, the earth has always been dreadful to a certain amount, and individuals have been doing horrible points since Adam and Eve were served with their expulsion see; we just find out about it faster than we used to.

Has humanity become worse? After all, we have the legacies of Mao’s China, Stalin’s Soviet Union, Cambodia under Pol Pot, and a host of others upon which to reflect. Those regimes and others like them fall by the wayside in the shadow of the word “Nazi, ” which has been used so much that it is a few steps away from becoming a licensed franchise, complete with a copyright. In fact, it has been used so much and co-opted so often that the nightmare that was the Third Reich has all but been forgotten. In its place, we have MAGA, Trump, ICE, and all of the usual suspects that people like to dredge up, even while they themselves are making a solid run at tyranny and oppression.
I shudder to think what the world would have been like if history’s despots had access to social media. For the record, I tend to believe that people have gotten worse. Iran, North Korea, and China notwithstanding ( not to mention the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria ), and setting aside the decline of the UK and Europe, at least in the U. S. , we have not crossed the red line that history’s monsters flew past. Yet.
I was in fights when I was younger. I was even mercilessly bullied at times, and those incidents included some violent assaults. Do you know how many times I entertained the idea of using a gun to settle the matter? Not once.

Chalk it up to whatever you want: video games, social media, a corrupt news media, even more corrupt schools and government officials, rap music, YouTube videos, trans agendas—the truth is the culprits are all of the above, and a few things that I have overlooked. I fear that the net result will be a country so chaotic and so feral that it will be ripe for the taking by whoever is ready to take advantage of the tumult. And those who are likely the ones driving the madness.
