Ryder rented both vehicles used in Oklahoma City and '93 WTC. This is a meaningless grasping at straws unless we want to forbid rental vehicles entirely because of what 1:10 million outliers might do with them. Maybe we ought to figure out what's wrong with us, people at home, and the conditions of people elsewhere in the world who are going on suicidal rampages, and then help, reform, or reset in multiple-point, holistic approach to put peoples on-track as viable, healthy civilizations without as much violence?
- mingus88 2y agoIt’s not meaningless, it’s an interesting coincidence. These acts are done for notoriety and taking a gun into a school or a market has become so normalized we are seeing more attacks like this that can be done anywhere at anytime with easily available items like trucks. I agree that we need to figure out how to solve this, but our consumption of media is a key part of it. The very thing that uses fear and anger to keep us all engaged is the vehicle these attackers rely on to attain notoriety. If we all turned off the feed, would so many sick people be plotting to make headlines in the worst ways possible?
