The murders in Orlando | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: While sociopathology cannot be effectively treated as of yet, it can certainly be diagnosed and scanned for. The problem for mental health approaches is that sociopaths don't want help. Is it evil to act on a damaged brain's impulses? Possibly and possibly not. Since such people don't get better and can't be treated, the only option when they do something like this is capital punishment, if they don't die in the act. This is because they will be dangerous when locked up. We can kill them slowly in super-max or quickly with an injection or a bullet, but we owe it to all other human beings to end their lives with others.
Would this sniper, in the absence of gays to shoot at, have shot at uncovered women? Probably. I doubt that Archbishop Kurtz would have not been able to say the victims classifications if they had, which puts Kurtz in league with the shooter as far as the moral question of homosexuality goes. Shame on him.
Is there more we can do against ISIL/Daesh? Not so sure if we don't want to put ground troops more at risk. We have maxed out that credit card and strategic bombing is not an option, because we are still concerned with the civilians living under their tyranny. Of course, if ISIL claims responsibility and the Saudi's fund ISIL and similar organizations, I think we can say that enough is enough. Oil is cheap - lets not take any more from Saudi, or let anyone else have it. Until we do that, we aren't serious in anti-terrorism protection.
