Violence

Men Who Munch on Lunch

It was quite a coincidence that a random shooting occurred both in America (Alabama) and Germany almost simultaneously. Hopefully no one you know was personally affected by either of these random acts of violence. I watched the ZDF evening news report online yesterday and all the bigwigs in Germany appear to be asking themselves - what can we do to prevent the next one? I was somewhat surprised to hear that after the US, Germany has the most incidents of such violence. Why is that? Why is everyone copying everyone else in this violence. The scary thing is that both of these killers felt that inflicting violence on others was the only way to solve whatever problems they had. These acts are cries for attention, but you know, there are better ways to get attention.
