Shooting Amish Girls...
Working at how today I have been listening to the news about at least 6 Amish girls shot dead execution style in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Several other Amish girls are injured. Some of these girls are as young as 6 years old. According to the CNN news and news conference, the shooter is a 32 year old man who is not Amish. Having left notes to his wife and children, he apparently was getting some sort of "revenge" for something that happened 20 years ago.
How sick do you have to be to shoot a defenseless, peaceful Amish child? I can't imagine. Less than a month ago, I wrote about a visit I made to an Amish community near me. Here is a picture I took of two Amish girls (with my son's big foot in the foreground).
Perhaps is mental health and social service agencies were more "male friendly" more of these incidents could be avoided. In a quick check of United Way of Cincinnati, I find one agency dedicated to serving men, Genesis Men's Prigram. It receives a United Way allocation of $39,276.00. The Woman's Crisis Center and Rape Crisis & Abuse Center of Hamilton County formerly Women Helping Women receive $398,808.00 and $136,612.00 respectively.
This is a total of nearly 14 times of the Genesis Men's Program. Boy Scouts and YMCA's include programs for females. The YMCA in my community is dominated by females. The only full-time male employee is probably the maintenance man. Girl Scouts and YWCA's do not run programs for males of which I am aware or could find at the United Way web site. Boys Clubs are now Boys & Girls Club.
Our social and mental health services have been almost totally consumed with improving and broadening services for females while turning their collective backs on males. Maybe the recent school shootings are examples of reaping what we sow.

i have said, that this demonising of males will have more violence, the stresses and strains of being male in todays world, is bad, even here in the UK. more men and boys will react in the only way they can to get out of it, or to show the anger, its a telling point he let the boys go..
i dont condone such acts, but i agree with you about why cant men be treated like humans, the feminist groups turn men into animals, and then when we act like one they blame us..

dont forget boys club(or anything to do with men only) are a sign of the patriarchy and only exist to subjugate women, where girl clubs are bastions of niceness who dont want nasty boys around..

Women who killed are almost always viewed with sympathy by the MSM, etc., a la Andrea Yates. She kills and many blame her husband. I've never heard of a wife being blamed when a man kills.
Men rarely, if ever, are viewed with sympathy by the MSM.

The Oxygen channel has a new program "Snapped" In the one episode I saw, the wife "sanpped" because she was working two jobs and her husband was spending all the money on himself. In other words, he was treating her like shw was his husband. The slant was that she was justified. Interesting position.
Woemn who kill always get off easily, as do other female offenders, and it usually seems to be only women who get angry at this. Nancy Grace led the charge on that woman whose chld dissappered unde mystrious circumstances, and now she is getting shit for it. Why is Fox on this kind of thing? Dead silent. Women only ever as fragile victims - now that is patriarchy.
