Why do people want to kill each other? Are these shooters crazy or just angry? Why are so many people so angry?
Frustration. Being called names, labeled, mommy didn't love them enough, not enough hugs from daddy and couldn't get a date to the prom.
I think people have lost family values like respect for your family, respect for your parents. Respect for authority in general. Some people just dont care what shame they bring to their families.
Too many parents adopted the BFF method of parenting.
Participation trophies do little to prepare kids for a world where you dont get a trophy just for showing up. They flat out struggle with reality. I have seen my share of young adults completely melt down when confronted for poor performance.
I dont think that it is any 1 thing, but an accumulation of many. The last 10 years everyone has seen an escalation in class warfare and finger pointing.

The welfare state has encouraged parents to not work and to not stay together and raise their children. The single parenthood rate has gone up by quite a bit since LBJ instituted his war on poverty which was based on lies and deceit.
You just accept the fact that America is a gun obcessed culture and with more guns out there than people all to frequently some nut job is going to take his gun and kill as many people as possible. its just the way it is in the USA.

Not much of a welfare state if theres only 5% unemployment meaning 95% of people are working.

Then why is food stamp usage 33% higher than before the crash while the population has grown ~9%.
A few years ago, for the first time ever, a majority of school children are on free or assisted lunches. Why aren't the parents feeding their kids if they get food stamps?
Answer - Why feed your kids when someone else will?

Yet you still have a bigger chance of dying from a hail stone to the head than in a mass shooting.

Very true, here they lash out. In Japan, if they can't succeed they commit suicide.
Yes, now show me in that list of an American killed by a hailstone that hit their head in the last decade. Go ahead..... we'll wait.
