4 things most shooters have in common... [View all]
"Nearly All Mass Shooters Since 1966 Have Had 4 Things in Common:
The stereotype of a mass shooter is a white male with a history of mental illness or domestic violence. While that may be anecdotally true, the largest single study of mass shooters ever funded by the U.S. government has found that nearly all mass shooters have four specific things in common."
"A new Department of Justice-funded study of all mass shootings killings of four or more people in a public place since 1966 found that the shooters typically have an experience with childhood trauma, a personal crisis or specific grievance, and a script or examples that validate their feelings or provide a roadmap. And then theres the fourth thing: access to a firearm."

Have I missed something? I have read this and the 5th thing they all have in common is that they are mainly MALES. Why isn't this addressed in the article? Is it because the men do not know how to address this or they choose not to? I watched Bowling For Columbine again about a month ago on MSNBC and Michael Moore said that he wouldn't add anything to the movie all these years later except for a couple things and the main one is that males commit most of the killings and that needs to be addressed but never is. Why is this? Because men do not have an answer/solution???????
