It's always tragedy that brings me out

Heh, another shooting. It's almost expected news now I feel like. It's not every other news story, it's not plastered on my front page. It just sits neatly in my trending section along Hulk Hogan. It enrages me not just because of the people that died and were injured, but because it reminds me of our failure. Our failure as a community. It reminds me that we keep failing to take care of each other. In each community this happens in there are many people, because this shooter was just the one who got the courage to do it, who are so desperately angry and sad that they feel the need to not only end their life, but that of others as well. I say the communities are failing because it is evident that there  are people out there who are that anguished and yet everyone has ignored them, no one reached out. That they were made to feel by their community that they couldn't be helped, that no one would listen, that reaching out and telling others that they felt abandoned by this world and didn't know what to do was not an option. How many shootings will have to happen before we realize this? I am not condoning the shooting in anyway, it is horrible what happened, but the communities, the families, and friends of this individual are partly at fault. Until we wake the hell up and realize that our fates are connected, that our individual happiness is dependent on the happiness of others; till we finally have compassion for each other and reach out not just to our loved ones, but to anyone who is in need, we will continue to see these tragedies occur. This is not a gun problem. Make them illegal, they'll be bought illegally. This is a mental health problem disguised as a gun problem. This is an empathy, an apathy problem, it is a problem caused by our false disassociation from each other. Please, please wake up.
