      I’ve been pretty angry before, but I’ve never been “stab a toddler in a parking lot” angry. This is very likely the product of untreated mental health issues.

        I’m all about fixing the root cause of systemic issues, but thinking about improving given encounters on a micro scale is an interesting thought experiment too.

          I follow. My point is if it’s mental health related, and the target was one of opportunity, your small changes could save that child at the expense of another one. We’d still be reading a headline, only about a different victim.
