The profound takeaway by the writer: "Life can be a matter of chance."

No, it can't. Not if society has been deliberately and diabolically engineered to promote the presence, and empowerment, of these brutal predators...and then whitewashes their carnage with callously bland aphorisms.

The author doesn't have even a moment's worth of dismay in his tone; his observations are as devoid of actual feeling as if he were reporting on a wheat field getting mowed in the fall harvest.
