in this country, this is just one more.

I refuse to get worked up about these kinds of things any more.

An unanswerable question.
(But it creates anguish in MSM watchers, which is always the point.)

The questions should be instead . . . why are the tools for this so readily available? And how can this be prevented from happening again?

And the big question . . . in this land of milk and honey, with plenty for all, this first world country, the leader in global Freedom, why should this happen, ever?

Those questions aren't popular though, are they?

He was not being bullied in school, not watching video games, not unpopular with women/girls, not raised in an abusive home, no mental health issues, etc.

The common factor is GENDER! No one ever mentions this obvious fact so the media and politicians spin and spin and spin.

99% of mass murderers are MEN! This is what is known as testosterone poisoning.

And they have told me that they love the way estrogen makes them feel. It makes them kinder and more patient, gentler and less aggressive. They all have said that testosterone is toxic.

that whenever I post a comment about connections between mass murders and gender I get crickets. No matter where I post it I never get replies and this is over the course of 8 years. This leads me to believe I've touched on a nerve and am walking on hallowed ground. Everyone knows this obvious fact but they are afraid to say it since they will lose support from men.

That's my theory anyway.
