Never mind the fact that the schools are teaching subjective reality and the parents don’t know what the kids are watching or playing.
Hollywood is only one tiny piece of the puzzle and removing it won’t make much difference. Andrew Kehoe blew up the school in Bath Michigan in 1927 killing more than any other mass killer in American history and I don’t even think wireless radio was in common usage then. He was hardly the first.
Here is a listing of just “rampage killers” that doesn’t from the Americas.

Thanks for posting this.
I actually looked this afternoon at this info. People think this is a new phenomena. I was shocked at the 1927 Kehoe incident. Sort of sounded like OK City.
I will say that until recent times, there seemed to be a designated “target”. Bullying seems to be the most recent “reason”. Not a good reason...but at least some kind of reason. But walking into a mall, theater or classroom of first graders to kill evades me.
The media gives 24/7 coverage to these events. That may well encourage other people to seek that kind of notoriety. What a way to gain fame.
It is kind of amazing (and scary) the number of unhinged people that seem to walk among us. No doubt it’s always been that way.
