VERY BAD ADVICE: Quote: "Those who carry out mass shootings are
typically not "psychopaths" or "sociopaths." Instead, they are usually
individuals who are desperate or despondent -- whether because they have
experienced multiple losses, or unbearable situations, or have some
underlying mental health conditions -- and they reach a point where they
feel that violence is the best way -- or perhaps the only way -- to
solve their problems."
==================
The common term "sociopath" is better known than it's medical
diagnostic term "Anti-Social Personality Disorder". A massacre is
profoundly ANTI-SOCIAL.
Sociopathy is amazingly common. Modern psychiatry predicts 4% of the
population is a ticking Ted Bundy or Adam Lanza, which on average with
two adults per household, there is one sociopath living in one of the 12
houses nearest you, or in yours.
With so many non-exploding sociopaths, that means that most or many are
keeping a tight lid on it, which fly loose under appropriate trigger
conditions. The triggers of "desperate", "despondent", "loss" or
"unbearable conditions" is just another way of saying sociopaths let
themselves loose.
Adam Lanza was the world's biggest spoiled brat, whose mother failed to
socialize him. He reconnoitered the school and attempted to buy his own
gun for the massacre, showing planning. He taped three 30-bullet-clips
to his military-style gun for rapid reload. The evidence of sociopathy
is visible when the investigation has barely begun.
