  • I think in America most of the teenagers or the new generation crowd are depressed. They dont socialize at all & spend most of the time on internet & isolate themselves in one room. It is taking a major toll on their minds. Thus leading to wrong decisions in life.

    1.sell the gun to the people 2.why the mass shooting keep happening?
  • American politician should take care of Americans and America rather than interfering in other countries internal matters. America has become an international police officer who has forgotten her own people 😭
  • @hught6885
    I move to another country 7 months ago from America and once you leave America you’ll realize how bitter and Pessimistic life in America is
  • The US is such a failed society. I wish the family’s the best in such hard times. May God help you
  • @joel6221
    Because mental health issues are being ignored. The man who died after the sleeper hold in NYC had been arrested over SIXTY TIMES, and wasn't in any treatment center or incarcerated.
  • @rollingcan
    I think America doesn't has a strong ethical foundation. Many people are about partying and materialism. Many people aspired to be gangster and rapper. Not many people aspired to be a reasonable healthy person.
  • When you live in a place where everyone has a right to own a gun and mental health is an afterthought and leaders would rather fill their pockets than help a society, these tragedies will only continue.
  • @sbkelly
    The neighbor at the end said it. We just go thru this over and over and nothing changes.
  • @atkim122
    Americans have collective mourn-exhaustion and are probably numb to this story because in the back of their minds the next one is just days away.
  • Whenever they say "looking to address the situation or cause of this" what they really mean is "We not gonna do nothing about it we just hope you forget in time" Or I love "thoughts and prayers" because that always stops the killing.
  • because we give our condolences without any real solutions.... around and around we go
  • @novaboy1174
    The internet made this a lot easier for people just to replicate other mass shootings. We have a society where people think it's OKAY to just pull off these mass shootings especially if they are thinking ways to end themselves and express their hate towards society at the same time.
  • The country is a mess, peoples lives are a mess. It's not difficult to figure out why people snap.
  • The "address mental health" line is a cop-out, but I'd be less furious if they at least went on to address mental health. They won't even do that.
