Or Chaucer a few centuries earlier.
The recent shootings by an inadequate (C'mon... how can a guy be rejected by the military... during a time of war? How can a guy get kicked out of community college?) entitlement driven (These shootings are just an adult temper tantrum.) spoiled suburban kid next door are just the latest symptoms of a belief system that is fighting to remain relevant.
The impetus for Jared Lougher's actions may or may not have been the current polemical rhetoric being cavalierly tossed around by much of today's popular media.
But there is probably a more simple answer.
The dude is a bitch.
He probably didn't get his ass whipped enough by his dad as a kid.
He probably never received enough hugs from his mother.
When no one paid any attention to the guy, he acted out like a spoiled insecure brat.
When he couldn't compete with others, he sought to eliminate them.
Violence in a culture predicated on violence is no surprise - in fact it should be expected.
Like chickens coming home to roost.
