Murders Will Always Happen and Can Never be Eradicated.

In Response to "Empire of Death and the Plague of Civic Violence" by Darrell Y. Hamamoto

After reading this article I never knew about the mass murders that have happen over the years since I have only heard about a few from the media. Only a select few are aired on TV because they want ratings. But the 350 mass murders since between 1979 and 1991 amazes me. How can such a thing happen? After reading a bit more on it most of the mass murders that were committed were by White Americans. They feel that their power and birthright was taking away from them as we moved toward globalization and they blamed it on the immigrants. They grew up during the time when whites prospered.

 But what I find even more disgusting was how people can become like this. Maybe they were trying to repeat history as Adolf Hitler has done. History gives us a lot of information that we can tie to people who are committing the murders. Such as genocides during the Vietnam War that American troops have committed. Indiscriminate killings of civilians as they carpet bombed the area, devastating innocent human life. In my opinion, there will always be killings pertained to people of different backgrounds. Either based on gender, race, religion, hatred, or economic reasons. History never fails to repeat itself, killings have been going on forever. 

So how can we fix this problems? Well I don't think there is a current solution. We can probably lower the death rates that was due to murder but I think that will take years. In order for this to happen I think globalization is the answer. If all the countries were connected and everyone was educated, maybe it can be a solution. But I doubt.
