If the shooter in El Paso posted a manifesto twenty minutes before he started shooting, was there really any time to stop him? This was not the first time he expressed his hatred and his intention to carry out violence against Mexicans. The shooter in Dayton played in a band that speaks of violence against women including rape and murder. Bandmates say the music is “fun”. They never saw the shooter was into the words in a different way? These individuals were giving off signals long before they committed their crimes. We need to do more than only monitor social media sites. We all need to recognize that evil is usually right there in front of us and daring us to stop it.
