How can we begin to explain the terrible, outrageous, unrelenting violence we have witnessed over the past months? It seems the more shocking and horrific this behavior becomes, the more passive and indifferent the “social justice” response. At best, the social justice solution seems to want more “dialogue” without any real answers, and doesn’t ascribe feelings of guilt to genuine causes, just seeks to either assuage or indulge the feelings.
This kind of response misses the most fundamental question: What kind of person is actually capable of this level of indeterminate, ongoing death and destruction? Where is the conscience of those so disinterested in truth and order that their impulses toward violence are so entirely unrestrained? What is missing in this generation that seems to have been built-in and sufficiently present in prior generations?
