Statistics for violent crime as a whole have dropped significantly over the last 40 years.
This is another reason for my OP.
Not only are the school shootings absurdly spiked with no discernable logistical reason........they are spiked in CONFLICT with general data on violence.
I sincerely think we need to examine more closely how we are raising children because CLEARLY, they are demonstrating they are less equipped to deal with stress than their predecessors.
I mean shite, there have been weirdo outcasts since the dawn of time. I want people to study this shite because we are fricking up HUGE somehow

In other words, these appear to often occur in affluent, lower crime areas so my hypothesis is that the underlying causes of the shootings is unrelated to the underlying causes of crime in general. It's already difficult to determine what those causes are given the low frequency of mass shootings in general, but the this only makes it that much more difficult when it doesn't relate to other, more frequent crimes in general.
