No, it’s not sensationalized. White guys are usually the perps in ANY given mass murder OR serial killings. It’s just the truth.

Black guys usually for regular murders and other crimes.

This is US. World-wide if anything massively blows up, probably a Moslem, usually of the Arab variety.

We’re not supposed to deal in stereotypes, but there’s a reason for them. Preponderance of experience.

Obamacare could have saved all of these kids! The perps would have got their proper sedatives at NO CHARGE!

it;s too early to speculate about the way parents raise their kids, too early, HUH.

Put your agenda on hold...at least until the facts are known.

Hurling accusations at social engineering is little different than Bob Costas advocating a ban on guns during a football game.

Quite true, manc.

There is a real crisis in America among its young men. Young White males are seriously neglected and ignored, or doped up because they’re ancy, or pu$$ified ad nauseum. They grow into rebels, nerds, gays, etc. It’s the fortunate who make it through young adulthood without being socially castrated.

This doesn’t happen in countries that are teeming with guns, Switzerland, Israel, etc.

We look down on Western Europe, but their kids are playing hack and slash video games and they are not put on psychotropic drugs like candy like we do here, and this doesn’t happen there.

Our culture is probably the worst in the “developed” world.

A notable exception is the DC sniper killers.

But you're right, mass murderers in this country have tended to be young caucasian men ..with the very notable exceptions of the 9/11 murderers, and the Fort Hood murderer.

The guy who did the Happy Land Arson murders, where 87 people died and which was one of the biggest mass murders in the US, was Cuban-born Julio González.

Serial killers otoh tend to be of more "diverse" backgrounds. Remember the DC snipers? And Wayne Williams, the Atlanta serial killer.

There could be plenty of serial killers in "the Hood", but minorities who randomly kill a number of people over time are not generally given special labels. Murder is just so common there.

Considering how rancid and depraved American culture has become, I’m sometimes surprised there aren’t “more” incidents like these.

I guarantee that these boys who did the shooting enevr really had much family time, but of course many will not mention the failed social issues because many don;t bother raising their kids either, go out to dinner, get a nanny, they;re too busy, they’re too tired from work.

You're right. Lack of bonding with the family is most often the "root cause." Not guns.

An example of this is Dylan Klebold, of Columbine infamy. Klebold was put into daycare early, and was bullied there. He apparently never got over it. He wrote "poetry" about his anger from daycare days.

(You will not see this reported in the MSM, because feminists would scream.)

This is not to excuse Klebold; it is just to note that he was profoundly affected by this detachment from his parents.

And there are LOTS of detached children in America today -- because dumping small children in daycare is considered the "normal" thing for American parents to do.

No, not every detached child will commit murder; but most will lead sad and disordered lives, and cost our society in many ways.

I believe violent crime now actually at the lowest point in decades mostly due to changes in technology & policing, Increased incarceration, older population etc., just not these high profile mass killings...

obama said in the election that the right wants to take us back to the social ways of the 50’s and he got hsi laugh.

Well I neevr grew up in the 50’s but I sure bring my kids up with respect, manners and have them know hard work and understand the world does not evolve around them.

The media will never mention the failed social issues today because they don;t raise their kids.
They get nannies, they get dog walkers instead of telling the kids to walk the dog, they eat out instead of teaching kids to cook and clean up, they get cleaners instead of telling kids to clean up.
I’ve seen parents say they;re too tired form work, seen parents finish work and go out to dinner and leave the kdis with others.

Every day I see and hear about this but the country and the media will not mention how new parenting has nto worked because it wuld mean themselves not being good parents.

Stop telling kids it;s alright to be different, tell them to fit in and get a grip, when the kid falls, tell them to get up not do you want a band aid and ice for the little boo boo, tell the kids to have repsect, sir , mam, please and thank you.

Politics and body counts and why this happened etc. all aside.

Please, God, console these people in their grief. Parents, students, staff, families, first responders, hospital workers - this is going to take a deep, long-lasting (forever) toll.

I’m not crying yet, but I’m pretty close.

Why have most of these tragedies only occurred recently? ,, Repeating firearms have existed for over 150 years – the Colt revolver for example. ,, Why didn’t those kinds of massacres occur 150… 120.. 100 years ago?

Answer: it's only been in the last few decades that we've been giving people with "issues" powerful psychiatric drugs and then letting them loose on the street. In prior ages, they would be kept locked up or under close supervision.
