What in the hell?!!

I was reading the news yesterday...on Christmas Day...about a man who dressed up in a Santa outfit, went to his in-laws home during a holiday party and shot the place up including children. He set the house on fire, went home and killed himself. How do you get so wrapped in in hatred and angst that you would kill anyone, much less shooting children IN THE FACE? Do people not realize how close to the edge they are? And where are the friends that are supposed to ground these individuals? Family members?!! Why is mental illness so damn prevelant yet so swept under the rug in American society?! I could be the next victim...U could be the next victim! But instead we chose to befriend and than ignore the obvious signs that these people aren't playing with a full deck and really, seriously need some help! And what does that say about us that we would rather be "cool" than confrontational when it could save a life?! smdh...damn shame....
