After the recent mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, cartoonist Scott Adams is speaking out about what he calls the country’s “dangerous young man problem.” And his conclusions — by his own admission — aren’t easy to read.
The “Dilbert” creator also brought the fentanyl overdose epidemic into the mix, less than four years after his own stepson fatally overdosed on that drug.
“The Highland shooting and every Fentanyl overdose death among the young are teaching us the same lesson, and we refuse to learn it. It’s difficult, but I’m qualified to give you this lesson (unfortunately). This won’t be easy to read,” Adams wrote Wednesday morning, kicking off a long series of tweets inspired in part by the Fourth of July parade shooting that left seven people dead and more than three dozen wounded.
