There is a tremendous amount of psychological anxiety and depression in the human race at this time, and it is progressively getting worse. This is because society is completely out of touch with what we need as human beings. Our solution to everything is to continue producing more, consuming more, becoming more technically witty, and finding new ways of getting rid of the resulting side effects and their symptoms. Well, it is time to start paying attention to the symptoms, and start tracing them back to their source, so we can understand what we are doing wrong.
As long as we point fingers at this person or that person as being the sole perpetrator of a disaster, we will not understand a thing, and these disasters will continue happening. We need to start looking at what creates these situations and society's role in perpetuating them.

The US closed a lot of mental institutions when it went into a prison building frenzy. The same trend of mass murders committed by the mentally ill has been seen in other countries that first went insane themselves drastically cutting funding for the mentally ill, while spending ridiculous amounts fight crime.

This country has covertly been setting us up for martial law. It is cleaner (less blood) if you first disarm the people. This upsets citizens telling them you are going to take away their weapons. It is also contrary to the 2nd Amendment. The right to carry...
The mind control testing programs that were used haven't been forgotten. Evil powers want to control us more and more. Our population is too big to control. We must be disarmed. We are being manipulated into believing we must ban the acquistion and right to bear " 's. Yeah this is some sh*t.

Unemployment - financial discord, lack of mental health services, and morons with guns readily at hand.

It is always nerdy white males in their late teens and twenties who are intelligent but unbalanced emotionally and mentally and who do not come from poor families. No black mass murderers. Why is that? Blacks do the gang thing and take care of their own business, but do not become mass murderers. No women mass murderers. Why is that? Generally, stupid people do not become mass murderers. Why is that? These are not poor kids, who grow up starving or homeless but rather have been well provided for. Why is that?
sed on gender, race, age, affluence and intelligence. The cause is therefor related to the needs and motivations of this particular group of young white males who have not been taught virtue, honor, chivalry, ethics, nobility of spirit, or how to live the good life. It is about education and mental health.
When you look at the profile, this form of insanity seems to be ba

there is such a lack of care for the mentally ill. Most is not all the government funded asylums are closed and a thing of the past. All that is left is out patient care if you have insurance so you have all these crazies running around trying to self medicate because they don't or can't afford the care they need. Sometimes these people are so dysfunctional they need some one to watch over them...I have seen too many left to their own devices...its bound to happen. Our society has literally thrown these people on their A$$. What did they think would happen....rainbows?
I have family that no longer get the care they need because their insurance ran out on them. They can't afford the meds so they turn to drugs. And some of them are serious crazy...seeing stuff and talking to themselves yet they are forced to try to live like everyone else does....I fear bumping into them and into anyone else's family member who is crazy that is not being taken care of.

lack of gun control..sorry but unless you live on a farm and need to shoot predatory animals or if you have real threats to your life (in this case the gun should be issued by the police and monitored regularly)

Guns are not the problem. Your typical ,mass killer is a young white male who comes from an upper class family. He is a loner, probably schizophrenic, (or at least has a schizoid personality) He lives in a world of his own, and thanks to modern technology, he has more ways to isolate himself from the rest of humanity. Ironically today we have more ways to communicate, but also more ways to ISOLATE as well!
The individual does not know how to handle relationships with people, he longs for a relationship, but he does not know how to go about achieving this. In a monent he "goes off the cliff" and caries out mass carnage out of frustration with himself!

Mental illness I think usllay has a good amount to do with this. Get help when neededand being properly diagnosed. Gun control I think has MORE to do with it. Pass stricter laws ans ENFORCE them.

When we as a society embrace political correctness to the point that we ignore the elephant in the room by trying to convince ourselves that all people are the same and regardless of the presence of mental illness, that person needs to be treated like everyone else. Denial of a problem, treating a symptom and not the cause. Additionally, lack of discipline in children, no concept of action and consequence, and an extremely overinflated sense of self importance we as a society are instilling in our children. If as small children they are taught they will not be held accountable for their actions, that creates adults with no respect for others.
