The media coverage itself.

BUT it was on the playlists daily in 67 and the late 60s. I was a teenager then. I don't recall anyone acting it out.
Not even in the States (certainly not with the sort of regularity we hear about it now!).

But then it was not uncommon to see kids of 12 walking around with sheaf knives - I know I did - the difference to now was we didn't even consider that you could stick them in other human beings. Something we were all taught about right and wrong, which now is lost in the sands of time.

So what IS the real difference today?
Lots of things... one is drugs. They too were around then, but not the sort that today are 'prescribed' like sweets.

Bet this 'nutter' is on 'medication'. They invariably are. Happy pills, there's a misnomer if there ever was one.
Anti-depressant pills, MAD (mind-altering-drugs) pills, they help you on your way.
The Columbine killers were on them... bet this one is too.

It's the common denominator that wasn't there when Cat Stevens was singing 'I'm gonna get me a gun'.

Cat Stevens lyrics :


I've been demoralized too many times
But now I realize, Ah ah, no more.
I'm gonna get me a gun
I'm gonna get me a gun
And all those people who put me down
You better get ready to run,
Cuz I'm gonna get me a gun

I know my destiny is like the sun
You see the best of me when I have got my gun
I'm gonna get me a gun
I'm gonna get me a gun
And all those people who put me down
You better get ready to run,
Cuz I'm gonna get me a gun

So you think you can push me around
And make me run
Well I'm gonna tell you now
I'm gonna get me a gun
I'm gonna get me a gun
And all those people who put me down
You better get ready to run,
Cuz I'm gonna get me a gun

Gonna get me a gun...

Im surprised these even make news headlines in the USofA now they love their guns over there.

[Bing o]

Thanks god the gun ownership laws in the US allowed the victims to protect themselves.

Oh.
