42 shootings last week alone. 18 deaths. 11 murders last weekend alone. 3 victims were children. What's going on?

(not to mention that proliferation of random shootings dotting the U.S. this week)

yes indeedy. The world is going through some craziness at the moment. We can not expect American society to NOT feel the massive upheavals that are occurring all over in politics, climate, globalization, etc..... I am not sure whether ir not it is comforting to remind ourselves that this happens periodically - that we creatures seem to a have a need to brutalize one another from time to time.

On the one hand, this is not necessarity the end of the world. On the other hand, perhaps that's not good news, given the how well we've done in the past.....
