You see the moral and ethical decay of this country is the reason events like that happen. There is no one specific cause for this but a large part is to blame on the liberal ideology of a free open more socialist society where one can do "as they feel."
A free, open society is hardly contingent upon socialism. Socialism has a meaning, and that meaning has nothing to do with a free, open society. People "doing as they feel" isn't a bad thing, unless it violates the civil rights of others.
Can you, in good conscience, blame the moral and ethical decay of our society on personal liberty? Do you truly believe that incidents of mob violence would be prevented if our government severely limited personal liberty? Which parts of our free, open society would we need to restrict in order to maintain civility? Freedom of movement, right to assembly, right to bear arms?
More importantly, would certain sectors of our society be best suited by these restrictions?
