"According to Mother Jones, 62 mass shootings — defined as a single spree that killed at least four people — have been carried out in the U.S. since 1982. Only one was perpetrated by a female.

In 2006, Jennifer San Marco fatally shot her former neighbor, then drove to work and killed six colleagues before turning her gun on herself. The rest of the massacres were carried out by males, 44 of whom were white."


Interesting. It would be interesting to know what the race was of the 17 male shooters that were not white. Considering the racial proportions of the population, it's very likely these attacks are mainly male, and evenly distributed proportionally across the races. Pointing out that white males do more of these events may only be due to the racial proportions of the populations, not that white males snap any more than a male of any other race...

Very interesting....

I think also that black and Hispanic males are also more often from lower socio-economic strata, without parents able to shield them the way this kid’s mother shielded him.

Thus they are likely to enter prison system before they reach their going off peak, if you will.
