Looking back at shootings that caught national media attention over the past couple of years, and incidents of driving cars into crowds, intentionally. Whether it be intentional, while under the influence of an epileptic seizure, the influence of alcohol or drugs, extreme anger, a mental deficit, or extreme anguish, the bottom line of the physical events that transpired are best not occurring. There was an incident a few days ago in Stillwater, Oklahoma, where a car hit persons attending an event.
Fortunately all the women that were struck by a vehicle survived in the YouTube video at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB7TOx-cJz4
The incident in the video occurred just this past July in the East St; Louis area, not too far south of Ferguson. It needs to be imparted that the behavior witnessed by the driver of the car is not OK.
Strategies to reduce tragedies have to extend to women as well as men; when mental treatment is called for, the health needs of men and women have to be cared for, and neither can be overlooked.
