School/Mass shootings are now part of our culture.

Trannies going into overtime. Apparently the Trans community are working hard to disown this one and the one in BC. Because it's possible to be a far right, racist and want big titties.

They've always been trying to do this way back to Audrey Hale as far as my memories go of the radio silent D's. No different than when a black or an Arab does it and they let it fall under the rug without protest.

The narrative is that it has to be a white, male, and hopefully a veteran. It has been this way ever since Clinton but came out in full force under Obama and later Biden.

I had done some coffee break thinking while sipping on a warm tasty beverage in a mug, when this came to mind: Is this a social media rage induced thing for trannies to be murdering POS's? Or is this a pattern here with a certain type of drug that everyone of the cunts was known to be on or had stopped taking?

SSRI's are the commonality. While I think the prevalence of the narrative ("Trans identifying individuals are victims, constantly attacked for 'just being who they are'" as some sort of protected class of people, and not a class of people suffering from the same mental disorder) is interesting, I can't get to "that's the root cause".

It's a chicken/egg scenario. Did the mental illness and social media gaslighting/astroturfing lead to the violence and they happened to be on SSRIs? Or did the SSRIs (with known side effects of anxiety, irritability, suicidal thoughts/tendencies, worsening depression) set the conditions for mentally ill people to be susceptible to conditioning due to the aforementioned astroturfing/gaslighting?

Either way the outcome is the same. Violence at a scope and scale per capita that dwarfs every other subgroup. There were two mass shootings (one of them a school shooting) in the last two weeks.

I don't know if SSRIs are necessarily the thing, but depression/mental issues sure seems to be. Removing some of the dumb "genetics don't matter" convos from social leftys aside, SSRI/broader mental ossues+XY chromosome+(maybe socioeconomic status)=profile of shooters.


*This is broadly of how shooters present, not any specific patterns recently.

Yeah for sure, I don't disagree with anything there. I can't say they are either, but I can definitely say with confidence they're overwhelmingly present in the vast majority of all the shooters.

It's one of those things where the involved factors are consistent, but nothing definitive seems to come through.

- Male (or Assigned male at birth for lefties)
- Diagnosed/likely depression/anxiety
- White
- Mid to Upper socioeconomic status (AFAIK)
- Young (20s-early 30s)
-History of violence/violent crime (DV/assault/etc, as a victim or perp.)

These carveouts seem to hold true for most shootings. Its partially why I think "gun control" should be based off demographics (crime history) as opposed to age/brand accessibility.

ETA: My phone (or midweek beers) really let me spell like shit.

That's a slippery slope. I have no desire to punish an entire race based on their own doing most of the gun related crimes, it's a culture issue that can be fixed if that culture were to focus on themselves and not blame the guns or other races for what they are doing.

I will stand with my fellow Americans who happen to both black and lawful owners of guns who have done nothing wrong or deserving to be punished and disarmed.

To clarify:

My previous coments IRT gun control have been behavioral focused. I.E. People with a history of of DV/other violent crime have a higher prevalence of likelihood to commit a shooting, not race/gender specific.

I misread you then, my apologies.

I started a massive post (as I'm wont to do), but decided to chop it down.

You don't wake up one morning and decide to commit mass murder. There is a build up that is always noticeable, but an alarming number of families refuse to see the signs. Frankly, a lot of parents are pussies these days and don't raise their children as much as providing a semi-hostel environment until the younger residents move out. They're your children, not European backpackers...

The vaunted ACA did nothing to improve mental health in America. Whenever people scream about the cost and subsides, they should probably focus on this IMO. If we're going to pay for it, we might as well see treatment options to benefit every single one of us whether we use those benefits or not. I think we could do with fewer crazy people on the streets.

Trying to pin down a single factor behind a mass shooting is like dumping lettuce into a bowl and calling that a salad. Joe Rogan nailed it for once back in 2022 or so: "This country has a mental health problem disguised as a gun problem, and a tyranny problem disguised as a security problem".

So the RI shooter apparently was A trans neo-nazi who has a son doing time for trying to burn down a Black Church in 2024.

What a weird confluence of identity traits.

 

[AWP]

"Trans neo-nazi"... Isn't that like "Gays for Palestine"?

To be fair, by '45 the Waffen SS had battalions that identified as divisions. I guess that tracks.

Maybe "treating mental illness" shouldn't include reassuring the mentally ill that they should mutilate their genitals.

Maybe "treating mental illness" shouldn't include reassuring the mentally ill that they should embrace their delusions.

Maybe "treating mental illness" shouldn't include refusing to counsel the mentally ill on realistic health care options.

Maybe "treating mental illness" shouldn't require DEMANDING that everyone encourage the delusions of the mentally ill.

Maybe "treating mental illness" shouldn't include allowing CHILDREN to be exploited without parental consent or knowledge.

Maybe "treating mental illness" shouldn't include DEMONIZING people that suggest clinical mental health treatment.

Maybe "treating mental illness" should include tings that actually LOOK like clinical mental health treatment.

...but it doesn't
...it won't
...not in America

My high school psychology class toured one of the state hospitals. Frankly, I don't recall seeing anyone who didn't belong there.

You look at today's homeless and drug problem, how many of those folks should be guests of the state? How many crimes have been committed which would otherwise be prevented?

I'll bet those numbers are not insignificant.

My now-deceased aunt was the administrator for a state psych hospital in North Carolina, Cherry Hospital (there is a new, modern hospital; she worked at the old creepy-ass hospital Cherry Hospital).

When we'd travel through the area we'd stop by to see her. That place scared the living hell out of me. I mean, it was old-school, brutal, and cold.

Western civilization doesn't "treat" mental illness in the 21st century because "treatment" hurts people feelings.
You are NOT a girl Timmy.
You are NOT a boy Sarah.
You were not "assigned" a gender at birth.
YOU.ARE.

It's an insanely simple yet existential sentance.
"I am."
"You are."
"She is."
"He is."
...but it's so much more fun to weaponize and politicize it because, "votes"

Nope.
We don't treat mental illness, we cultivate it.
We use it as a platform.
We celebrate it.
We romantisize it.

The problem is we let enough mentally ill people into the medical and mental health fields to do their own "research" to justify their illness.
