Real reason why Mass Shooting are on the rise Now that these details are known, the identify, social standing and background of the Philadelphia mass shooter should destroy a B.S. myth from the Gay and Trans communities that they are morally superior. They are not. On many Social Media Websites, I was greeted to rationales that people in this country need to accept trans people in their schools, universities, houses of worship, workplaces, police and fire departments and the military because "they are not running around shooting people." I said to myself: "Give it time." Looks like the time has come and it prove that LGBT folks can be just as vicious, unconscionable and horrible as any other demographic. I guess that is why law enforcement in Philly kept those details about the shooter to themselves as long as they could. Chevdove asked why these incidents are increasing. I am not a psychologist specializing in violent, public incidents. So, I'll let a monthly magazine for professionals who specialize in the study of the mind and behavior or in the treatment of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders answer. It's called Psychology Today. Real reason why Mass Shooting are on the rise Here is the publication's explanation: An FBI study of “active shooter incidents” reveals that mass public shootings have greatly increased in recent years. Mass shooters are often incorrectly portrayed as mentally unhinged individuals who simply “snap” and engage in a killing rampage. Perpetrators are likely to be angry, vengeful individuals who seek retribution for a perceived harm done by some person, group or institution. Mass public shooting incidents are generally premeditated and often well planned in advance of their commission. "The perpetrators are more likely to be angry, vengeful individuals who seek retribution for a perceived harm done by some person, group, or institution. Moreover, mass public shooting incidents are generally premeditated and often planned well in advance of their commission. "Unfortunately, in their search for a solution to the mass shooting epidemic, certain interested parties and groups in the U.S. have made scapegoats out of legislators, lobbyists, gun manufacturers, law enforcement authorities, the mental health field, schools, and even the media. With every accusation made, some interested party declares that one or more of the aforementioned groups are boogeymen and thus to blame for the mass shooting epidemic. "In reality, most of the scapegoating arguments are myopic and self-serving for the interested party." Now that one sentence is a mouthful since it destroys the nonsensical excuse that it's the system, the White man or lack of opportunity that's to blame. "That is not to say there are no truths to be found in the popular arguments, such as the blaming of assault rifles for the mass shooting problem. It is certainly true that assault rifles exacerbate the problem, but their existence and availability are not the cause of it. "What is missing from the scapegoating arguments is a good look in the mirror by us as a society and a culture. Other developed countries that we consider to be our peers simply do not have the problem with mass shooting incidents that we do. "It is my contention that the very roots of our mass shooting epidemic may be found in our core cultural value of fierce individualism, a belief in vengeance, and the ethic that might makes right." - Scott Bonn, Ph.D, Criminologist "These cultural values have been central to what it means to be an American since our nation’s birth. We have always loved to settle disputes (at the individual and group levels) with violence and guns and we gleefully celebrate vigilantism in our popular culture." See? We do not need someone who dosen't understand the issue to post 2,000 badly written words that explains little. That's why I first seek our professional news, data and informational sources. So, be patient, folks. Another mass shooting is just around the corner and a belief in the Lord, Aliens, a certain politician or idolizing a celebrity or sports team ain't gonna stop it.

Are you serious!? @Pioneer1 I hope not! Who could do such a thing to animals. That is cruel. It sounds like things are really getting out of control. But why would the police say that and with that kind of intensity just for a triffic violation!? Something sounds wrong. Yes, @ProfD this is what I believe too. But I wonder if there is a conclusive reason for why this is NOW happening! I believe that one reason has to do with putting Obama in office but I don't believe that is the main reason. Weel said! @richardmurray

I wonder if there is a conclusive answer(s) to why these incidences are happening. It seems to me that this type of violence is escalating.

One of the most defining observations and explanations of negative Black behavior one will ever read.

I was in Thibodaux last year. Site of a little known race massacre. @zeke1234 the “Jesus” Pioneer speaks of is the one whose religion was used To justify slavery and had done little to stem the violence in our communities. It is a mind set. It is the same mind set that give is our standard of beauty and tells us whose ice is colder.
