A Gender Profile Of Mass Shootings

[OfTheCross]

From January 2013 to August 2019, there were 11 shooting rampages in California in which the perpetrator indiscriminately shot victims in public places and killed three or more people, according to an open source database maintained by the nonprofit news organization Mother Jones. Nine of those mass shootings involved a sole male suspect, one involved a sole female suspect, and one involved a male and a female couple.

Nationwide, there were 53 indiscriminate mass shootings in public areas during that time, and all but three involved male suspects. (The Mother Jones database excludes murders motivated by robbery, gang violence or domestic abuse in private homes.)

Murders in general are almost always done by males. Maybe we all need anger management

Probably a combination of both. Was Tyson all aggression or all skill?

And, yeah, but we, as a species, have bears riding in train cars at the circus now.

Doesn't it depend on what type of civilization/society you're trying to build? Let's say you take away mass shootings and instead these people just kill themselves. Does the absence of mass shootings in this scenario mean we're living in a "better" society?

I don't think these events are a glitch in the matrix. These occurrences are fairly predictable when you build communities based off of genocide and other atrocities.

I was responding more to the op’s statement about murder being committed mostly by males, which I suspect is not unique to America. I agree with you about mass shootings, though. The American experiment of a multiethnic society is still very much an experiment...hopefully it works. To your point, Japan exacted an attempted genocide in neighboring China less than a century ago, but it’s not tearing their society apart because they don’t have to live together in the same country.

There are very very few countries without any blood on their hands. That’s not uniquely American either.
