I think I stated a a big reason why these mass murders will continue and it's not because of guns. Nobody even talked about it or even commented. Why?
Listen to this forensic psychiatrist at near the end of this clip. Just listen to him. Hear him. Soak that in......now....put the pieces of many of the past mass murders together.
1)
Columbine - Black trench coats, armored, anti-heros, going out in blaze of glory
At last we know why the Columbine killers did it. - Slate Magazine
2)
Virginia Tech - Black military type gear, armored, anti-hero, going out in blaze of glory
3)
Aurora Theater shooting - Black military type gear, armored, anti-hero, going out in blaze of glory (this guy punked out on killing himself)
4)
Sandy Hook theater - Dressed in black fatigues, armored, anti-hero, going out in blaze of glory.
I want all of you to stop and think about this for a second. Look at the similarities here. They all have several things in common.
1) All planned at length
2) All sought to make a splash with the media
3) All see themselves as anti-heros
4) All have psychiatric problems or signs of it
In each case, they seem to try and one up each other to get the maximum press coverage once they are gone.
Our media is feeding these types of individuals. Like FD said, guns have been around for quite sometime, so why is it now that they are occurring. Well, when you eliminate common denominators, the only thing left between now and then is the explosion of the information age. Now, what once would be considered local even national news is now put on the world stage for all to see.
