"Girl Dies and Another Is Injured in Separate Shootings at Parties", By DAVID W. CHEN and AL BAKER
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/08/19/nyregion/19SHOT.html
"The shootings were a grim coda to a weekend of spasmodic violence in which at least 17 people were shot in the city."
"The unidentified gunman remains at large. But the police, who said they had received a video of the party, have described him as a 5-foot-4-inch, 180-pound man in his 20's, with black spiked hair laced with orange highlights."
"But at some point, as everyone was gathered in the hallway, the gun, which has no trigger guard, fell out of his waistband, according to the police, hit the floor and went off once."

Why not do the work inherent in giving the young 'men' who resort to the use of weaponry the understanding that enables them to see that resort to weaponry is a declaration of Truly-base Cowardice?
You know, why not allow folks to understand the wellspring of the 'us vs. them' Prejudice that 'blindly' and automatically induces them to Slaughter Innocents?
Why not Challenge them to become Men, rather than unthinking-'automatons', acting-out this or that that's 'extolled' within their overly-inbred, artificially-delimited, experiential environments.
Why not 'open the door' to understanding to them?
For them, and for those who they'll Slaughter if we do not 'open the door' to understanding to them?
Why not?
The only reason is, itself, Prejudice Toward the Familiar that's 'blindly' and automatically Dictated by 'the Beast', Abstract Ignorance [the absence of understanding of how and why nervous systems process information via 'blindly-automated TD E/I-minimization within nervous systems which, nevertheless, do process information via 'blindly'-automated TD E/I-minimization].
