The brain of the Maine mass shooter is being studied to find out if his mental health deterioration could be linked to brain damage sustained during his military service.
I know it’s important to get answers to these questions, and I know that there’s a chance something could be learned that might lower the chance of someone losing their mind and hurting other people or themselves. I know that this is the right thing to do and I agree that they should be using the brain to help people.
But on a more visceral level, I recoil at the thought of any good coming from a mass shooting, especially from the shooter.
Invoking “the good side” of a mass shooting just feels wrong.
And again, I don’t disagree with it, but what are the odds that any action will be taken if they do find a link?
It gives me the ick as well, but I feel that there is always a silver lining to be found even in the worst of circumstances. There’s always something to be learned… still I wish that none of this happened at all. It’s sickening, to be sure

Why can no good come out of something bad? You should always learn from your mistakes.
It’s easier just to remain a victim than admit you’re a part of the society that has failed so fundamentally to its core.
