KJ - "What's changed is the cat is out of the bag. Ever since Columbine, the disaffected have a playbook to follow. Monkey see, monkey do?"
I suspect you're not far off the mark, but I don't really know. The thing is, the recent Florida School shooting set things off here as well. That's the bit I don't understand. However, if you tie things in with HOTPE's latest post, which I think is extremely relevant, perhaps the cat is out of the bag for good? I hope that's not the case, but changing a culture once it's too late is hard. But now we see it in Hawaii, or at least the intent to shoot as we see on the mainland. That's what really concerns me, and I don't see an obvious way to stop it now.
