THE REAL CAUSE OF MASS SHOOTINGS

Self | 8/4/19 | Plain and Simple

[Plain and Simple]

Video games. Why were there no mass shootings until the advent of video games in the late eighties-early nineties?

[Larry Lucido]

Yes, please provide the cite to the referenced study. OP would like that very much.

Meanwhile, here is a cite to the OP’s scientific wild-ass guess (SWAG).

Are you, by chance, the same age as the advent of video games?

[humblegunner]

Please see post 27.

I see that you added an apostrophe to the word "hell" for some strange reason.

[Biggirl]

So, what is your problem?

[Plain and Simple]

Before the one in the Texas Tower in 1966 can you name any others?

[Responsibility2nd]

You touched on a key point in your long long list of reasons.

Destruction of marriage.

Studies have shown that many if not all of these shooters come from broken homes. They come from a home with an absent father. If we fix that, we will almost end mass murders overnight.

This guy was all over the place and he’s totally bought into the radical environmental idea.

It’s Hillary’s fault. She’s warning that the Greenland ice caps are melting because of global warming. This guy believes her.

[Plain and Simple]

There were no video games in 1966, at least not violent ones.

GMTA. We were probably typing our replies at the same time. Holy Spirit was trying to get His message across. Mission accomplished.

I just posted this on another thread. It is totally relevant here.

Because of liberals doom and gloom message our youth is traversing some dangerous ground.

Imagine being a young teenager and being guilt ridden with burning the planet down, then hearing that it is TOO LATE, WE ONLY HAVE 11 1/2 YEARS LEFT, GO TO HIGHER GROUND.

Imagine being white and growing up with a sense of guilt BECAUSE YOU WERE BORN WHITE AND THEREFORE BORN A RACIST.

Imagine having some issues and understanding that when born you could have been left to die and HEARING APPLAUSE FROM THAT ANNOUNCEMENT

I agree. I’m starting to think that antifa is the militant wing of the deep state. They seem way too protected to not have some very powerful benefactors.

Many of these shootings and other events are timed too perfectly to be coincidences. Antifa may not be the perp in all the events but the same puppet master is likely pulling the strings.

Drugs

[AAABEST]

Using your logic we can blame U2 for our mass shootings.

We didn't have mass shootings until Bono became popular... ergo it's on him.

Because of human nature and the nature of life, human life requires value production for oneself and others. The reward for value production is happiness. Parasitic losers are value destroyers and value usurpers. These losers are unhappy and are envious of the producers and achievers. Their resentment causes them to want to make producers and achievers as miserable as possible.

Active denial of God.
Killing babies.
Rampant Pornography.
Destruction of marriage.

Emasculation of young males.
Education becoming indoctrination.
Destruction of hope
Financial slavery.
Constant saturation of propaganda.
Social Media.
etc.

Yeah. It’s video games...

Reading through posts now, these posts I agree with, but add ‘Removal of God’ from schools, Hollywood, and the closure of mental health institutions, which causeS our streets and neighborhoods to be filled with persons with severe mental problems and no help.

OF course only a small minority of gamers will ever be shooters. But knowledge of whether mass shooters have also been players of violent games prior to their attacks would be useful.

Media.

Bull$***.

Video games are no more responsible than guns.
It’s the breakdown in the family, non-existent or nominal male Authority figures at home, removal of God and morality and personal responsibility from personal, familial and public life

[Wm F Buckley Republican]

Almost all of societies ills are traceable to unmarried, absent fathers, it’s a common denominator.

[Plain and Simple]

Well, I guess your logic is right if you can prove that the shooters listened to U2. Try again.
