The latest young person to go ballistic is Elliot Rodger, son of Peter Rodger, an assistant director of the bizarrely violent thriller/drama The Hunger Games.  Elliot Rodger, whose rampage stemmed from loneliness and rejection, is also the grandson of British war photographer George Rodger, one of the first photographers to enter the Nazi camp Bergen Belsen at the end of WWII and who later went on to co-found the Magnum Photo Agency.  What does this say about the evolution of violence in a society engaged in generational, perpetual war:  from George Rodger's compassionate witnessing of the horrors of war to Peter Rodger's propagation of fantasy violence for entertainment value, and finally, in  grandson Elliot Rodger, perpetrating mass murder.  This is going to take some analysis.  Are we going to wake up to ourselves and what we are creating for the future, or not?
