Mass shooters

Experts are looking into the reasons why these mass shootings are happening and they are looking for common characteristics to narrow the search. This is the common sense approach. There’s this really consistent pathway. Early childhood trauma seems to be the foundation, whether violence in the home, sexual assault, parental suicides, extreme bullying. Then you see the build toward hopelessness, despair, isolation, self-loathing, oftentimes rejection from peers. That turns into a really identifiable crisis point where they’re acting differently. Sometimes they have previous suicide attempts. They are young white males who got their guns legally. The problem here is that this is profiling.
