well said, but i'll also say the intent of the post is great in that we should all be aware of and vehemently oppose violence...especially of the institutionalized type! And like your response says, there are many people trying to prevent this type of insanity in our own ways. the primary cause of this type of mass murder is unrestrained government, so my personal crusade is to advocate freedom, respect for individual life, and the peace such things bring.

It starts my allowing governments to expand essentially unrestrained. Preventing such expansion is a necessary step in curtailing the extreme instances where governments get out of control. We should all remember this when voting on such silly things like outlawing people from drinking sugary soft drinks, or consuming raw milk...let alone mandating we buy health insurance we don't want, relinquish firearms (THE fundamental check on state violence), and forfeit nearly half our incomes (and hence 20+ years of our working lives) to the state...none of the supposed material gains promised warrant the risk of extreme violence enabled by creating all-powerful states. All of the resources confiscated by states enable them to wage perpetual war...luckily we have innovations like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that allow people to peacefully opt out of the repression machines, so i recommend that anyone who wants to prevent mass violence in the future put their money where their mouths are and opt into a peaceful free market world.
