North of London | You said it quite well.
Our instant news feeds allow us to hear of things that would have taken days to get into the local paper that was the news source in the past and few stories got repeated from far away.
There have always been mentally ill people who have done terrible things and unless mental health help is available and is not considered something that stigmatizes people so they will not ask for help these things will continue.
One other thing that has increased the numbers killed by these sick people is the availability of machines to do the harm to others easily and without much muss for the perpetrator.
A person would not have been very successful in running people down with horses and wagons or a single shot gun.
Another factor is the way people and in too many cases politicians stir up hatred for 'the other' which they then downplay the worth of these 'others' which makes people think these 'others' are less than human and so easier to justify killing. | |
