Letter: Narcissistic violence is shown

In case you missed it, a small brief appeared in The Columbian on Wednesday, Nov. 2, on Page A6 about a teacher who had been beaten to death by two teenage students unhappy about a bad grade they received in her class.

If this incident does not take your breath away leaving you speechless, I don’t know what will.

This incident is emblematic of the toxic environment that currently exists in America. This country has lost its sense of shame and is being driven by narcissistic, unrestrained, violent emotions.

Without a change in direction, can you imagine the country that you are passing on to your grandchildren?
