School Walkouts

[Eric1600]

You guys are on computers connected to the internet. You can look up information on this. In general fame is not a very common factor.

Common Factors:
* White Male
* Not strangers to the victims
* Rarely mentally ill
* Profoundly alienated from society and have suffered failures
* Malignant aggression rooted in the desire to make a distinct mark on the world
* Blame others for their failures -- personal grievance that will start a person on a pathway to mass murder
* Fantasizes about weapons and hordes them

Fame does play a role increasing the incidents:

Some researchers believe killers feed off the publicity from prior killings, using them as inspiration for their own attacks.

“If you blast the names and faces of shooters on news stations and constantly repeat their names, there may be an inadvertent process of creating a blueprint,” Dr. Deborah Weisbrot, an associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Stony Brook University who has interviewed hundreds of mostly teenage boys who have made threats, said in 2015.

The major exception is the Las Vegas shooter. He breaks the "normal" patterns. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/las-v...sy-is-done
