    I've seen some people on a site calling him a product of the Obama generation: totally entitled to everything.

    That's bullshit. This guys fucked up view on the world has nothing to do with who's president. It has far more to do with the thing I think about constantly, and that's the absolute scourge that reality tv, social media, and pop culture has become on today's youth. I'm not generalizing about all of them, but vast numbers of youth have nothing to live for that's positive. Instead they are bombarded with programs about total idiots being rewarded with money and fame for having no discernible talent AT ALL. Idiots like those on Jersey Shore, everything on MTV, Paris Hilton's show, Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, etc. Mindless, moronic shows where horrible behavior and total lack of morals are praised and rewarded. THAT is what kids have to look up to. It makes me sick. It creates the sense that kids feel entitled to the same, because they act out the same behaviors, they begin to believe they deserve everything with no hard work to earn anything.

    It's so fucked up. I know there are good kids out there. Good level headed, intelligent kids that have has good parenting and been giving morals and know the difference between right and wrong. But damn, I have so little hope for so many kids today, that are going to be too ignorant to get an education, and too unemployable to achieve anything in life.

    One of the deceased kid's fathers immediatly lashed out at the NRA and politicians. That is so not the problem! Nobody pays any attention to the insane amount of negative stimuli available to kids thanks to the Internet, reality shows, etc. Then they act like a gun had a mind of it's own and walked down the street firing at will and commuting a tragic act. Absolutely ridiculous.
