LAS VEGAS, NV – OCTOBER 04: Police tape blocks an entrance at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Caisno on October 4, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Added security to some Las Vegas casinos was implemented in response to Sunday night’s shooting on October 3, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Late Sunday night, a lone gunman killed at least 59 people and injured more than 500 after he opened fire on a large crowd at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival. The massacre is one of the deadliest mass shooting events in U.S. history. (Photo by David Becker/Getty Images)
David Becker / StringerCharlie Hoehn, author and mental health enthusiastic, was a school boy when the Columbine shootings happened, just miles from his home. Since that tragic day, he has studied mental health issues in our country and, in the aftermath of the Las Vegas shooting, has come up with an interesting theory linking deteriorating male mental health with how we are raising our boys in society.
Whether or not there's validity in this argument, I don't think it could hurt for us to be a little kinder, a little more emotional supportive, and a little more willing connect with each other.
