VIOLENT TIMES

The recent senseless murders of WDBJ-TV reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward are yet another mark in the ongoing struggle to get a meaningful solution to the violent angry people in our society.

Previously in the blog “Racism or more?” which spoke to the horrific slaughter at the AME Baptist Church in Charleston, it was pointed out that there are various personality characteristics of psychological dysfunctionalism and prejudicial hatred that when uncontrolled and with the availability of an implementing resource can produce a violent event.  The festering of those characteristics can take place over a period of  hours, days or even years.  

When the Sandy Hook incident awakened the nation to a level of horror and a strong desire to do something about the availability of guns in the hands of violent prone, psychologically unbalanced individuals.  Nothing was accomplished. After a few months neither the political bodies or the general public rose to meet the challenge. The power of the lobbies, the special interests, and money were the “do nothing” determining factors.

Organizations formed to address this situation have used the legislative approach with little effect.  The lobbyists and special interests are out in force.  They were effective two years ago in stopping an opportunity to have an open dialogue in the United States Senate by having members of the Senate kill Senate AMDT 715 which would have brought to the floor an open discussion on firearms background checks. Approximate 20 of those Senators are scheduled for reelection in 2016 and concerned individuals/organizations may want to support them or their challengers to change the paradigm.  For a listing of all the Senators scheduled for reelection and how they voted on important issues see the DOLLAR BILL BRIGADE 2016 Senate Vote Matrix.  If you can’t change the politics, change the politicians. The reality of the situation is that it would take decades and be next to impossible to get 600-800 million weapons under some type of legislative control, even if it were passed today.  The black market in weapons would go through the roof as would the black market prices.  Remember prohibition!

Changing the laws or introducing new ones is a sound approach and even in its limited scope and long implementation time it would help to reduce the number of these atrocities. There may be another approach, which may even be supported by the lobbyists and special interests and that is a national network of intervention specialists.  If you can’t control the available weapons (and you can’t), then perhaps a better approach is trying to help troubled individuals control their emotions.   A nationwide network of specially trained paratherapists who would be available by any media means and at any time where an individual could anonymously call in for help and hopefully release the psychological pressure to commit a violent act. The value of this approach is that it provides an opportunity to intervene early in the psychological process, it also appeals to special interested parties because it does not materially change the basics of gun ownership. Remember a crime doesn’t become a crime until it is acted out and a solution is not a solution until it is implemented.  Committing a crime in our thoughts is not a crime!  We all commit crimes in our mind!
