What is going on?
Throughout time,society has grown up with weapons, used for hunting, safety and sport and these things didn't happen. A gun was a necessity in the old days, before gun safes were ever invented.
What are some of the things these killers have in common?
They are male (this is a fact in nearly 100% of these crimes. Why?)
There seems to be some event or something going on in their lives prior to committing these acts. The event is nothing major, but a part of life in which life has it's ups, downs and disappointments.
They seem to be consumed with anger or hatred and blame others. Not that uncommon to have these thoughts, but these take it to a level of committing murder.
I seem to be seeing a lot that have unusual political beleifs or are into conspiracy type thinking. Paranoia??
If it's mental illness, then what has caused a rise in mental illness in our society and to the point of murdering others like this?
What is different in society now, than it was in prior years, that could be causing an increase in this type of behavior?
