Moms From Aurora

I think in particular about the mom who lost her six-month old baby in that theater shooting. Her arms will feel empty, forever.
She didn't lose her baby because no one in that crowded theater had a gun. She didn't lose her baby
because she herself wasn't packing. She lost her baby because when bullets start raining down on
normal people, those people take cover.
I haven't done exhaustive research; but I am beginning to believe from something I read about
Native American villages, that certain identifiable populations cannot sustain growth without
some young man becoming homicidally group averse.
There are some groups unable to grow without absolutely dire consequences.
As cities empty, killing in the cities increases due to lack of available resources in the environments of various groups of the populations there. When people coming of age see in their
minds' eyes, the city shrinking, those persons then notice the numbers of those around them with a keener awareness. In the primitive parts of the brain, some of a certain age come to believe resources
they feel are necessary for survival, be they concrete or abstract, will be both more available for sharing, and less jealously gaurded for the taking or asking.
Lack of resource sharpens certain awarenesses.
It takes a bit more than individual mental disease to sharply increase the numbers of mass murders we
suffer in America.
As large cities empty, suburbs grow. In some suburbs, this growth presents as a deadly threat to some
people. In cities, grudges cause murder; but not mass murders.
I could be wrong of course. Nevertheless, it's worth a look by scientists, because evolutionarily, according to Native American tradition, not all human populations can grow past a certain point without murders ensuing. In the case of the United States...mass murders.
No mom should ever lose a six-month old baby to senseless gunshot wounds in a theater.
