Why in the world do you think improving social services would stop religious terrorism? He didn't kill 50 people because his EBT card was empty. He was almost certainly motivated by religious extremism.
At the risk of stating the obvious: yet another mass shooting in a gun free zone. It's convenient if you know that your victims will be unarmed.
Everyone is somebody else's weirdo.

Because its hard to recruit when everyone is well taken care of and no injustices are being forced upon entire populations. The only thing that can combat such lunacy is education and time. Injustice begets further injustice; tolerance and education mean you take some hits in order yo minimize future ones.
Obviously there are times when a violent counter action is warranted, but currently that is our go to option.

There has never been, in the history of the world, a time when everyone was "well taken care of". And there never will be.

I know plenty of rich people who are also religiously batshit crazy. It doesn't just happen to the poor.

As are most homophobes. Even so, most of them don't actually kill gays. But you're probably right, improving social services may not make everyone more tolerant.
