Killing has been going on for as long as we had the means to kill. People these days think it shouldn't be happening. They also think the climate shouldn't be changing. I call it the goldilocks syndrome. The world and what fills isn't going to stand still because some people think it's just right the way it is or was.

Blunt and sharp objects are still used very often to commit murder - more often than long guns.

I wonder if they had a semi auto rock thrower? If so, would it have been called a Grock?
