Revisionist History
@Mast3rmo
Bruh I'm looking at the history of school shootings. Mind-blowing, kids brought guns to school until the 70s.
Only 3 school mass shootings between 1903-1966.
What happened?
(Didnt take off until the 90s)
almost every school shooting from 1800-1960 was targetted at one person.
(One guy shot his teacher in 1866 for bullying his brother and got acquitted. Wild)
School shootings simply didn't happen with any frequency until 1993
Something went wrong for kids born post 1975
And it got significantly worse for kids born 1996-2001
The early 1900ds it was explosions and bombs there was no mass shootings.
There was only 1 school shooting in the 1800ds.(1898 Charleston. 6 died
ZERO until 1940 when a highschool principal shot 5 of his colleagues?????(5 died)
1966 at university of Texas , rose Mar college. (18,5)
No school shooting until 1984....
This is new phenomenon
School shooting defined as 3 or more dead.
There were a many instances of 1 or 2 people being shot 1800-1970 (revenge, not mostly random). Even that was RARE.
There was an elementary school shooting (5 kids) in the 70s no one died.
Some of the older folks on here can relate
It wasn’t at all uncommon back in the day, way back, to bring your gun with you in your truck to school, etc. nobody even cared or glanced

I don't really remember any until the late 90s - like '97-'99 although perhaps there were some that didn't get much attention.

Prozac came on the market in 1987. Other SSRI’s came online during the 1990’s.

When you have boys without a father that are raised by mothers who put them on psychotropic drugs and put them in front of a screen all day well this is what we get. Fatherless homes is one of the primary reasons we have this cultural rot in society and sadly it is getting worse.

I grew up in a small town in southern Arkansas, graduated HS in 82. It was very common for someone to have a shotgun or hunting rifle in the rear window of their truck. They stayed there, never were a problem.

I think it's rose in popularity for crazy folks. All mass killers enjoy and seek out publicity. The way we cover and cry over the school shootings makes it a good target for them. You're pretty fricked in the head if you're killing 10+ people, regardless if they're 10 or 25.

I was in HS in the 80’s graduating from Ponchatoula High in 1988 it was not unusual to have a gun in your truck at school. Many a times a couple of us would go hunting before school. It was no big deal to have your shotgun or rifle sitting on the seat of your truck or hanging in a gun rack in the back window.

I graduated Mandeville in 85. Same thing. Guns were very common in school parking lots.

Dad’s disappeared, families quit going to church, kids quit playing outside and spending their entire day on the internet. The loner kid who used to have at least a dad and church to fall back to now has nothing but the internet to raise him.
We love to pretend family structure doesn’t matter and kids not having 2 parents in the home doesn’t matter, but it really does.

Explain other countries. Now the dad's stuff in not sure about but I would wager our country probably is higher in one parent households

A review of the empirical evidence in the professional literature of the social sciences gives policymakers an insight into the root causes of crime. Consider, for instance:
Over the past thirty years, the rise in violent crime parallels the rise in families abandoned by fathers.
High-crime neighborhoods are characterized by high concentrations of families abandoned by fathers.
State-by-state analysis by Heritage scholars indicates that a 10 percent increase in the percentage of children living in single-parent homes leads typically to a 17 percent increase in juvenile crime.
The rate of violent teenage crime corresponds with the number of families abandoned by fathers.
The type of aggression and hostility demonstrated by a future criminal often is foreshadowed in unusual aggressiveness as early as age five or six.
The future criminal tends to be an individual rejected by other children as early as the first grade who goes on to form his own group of friends, often the future delinquent gang.
On the other hand: Neighborhoods with a high degree of religious practice are not high-crime neighborhoods. Even in high-crime inner-city neighborhoods, well over 90 percent of children from safe, stable homes do not become delinquents.
By contrast only 10 percent of children from unsafe, unstable homes in these neighborhoods avoid crime.
Criminals capable of sustaining marriage gradually move away from a life of crime after they get married.
The mother's strong affectionate attachment to her child is the child's best buffer against a life of crime.
The father's authority and involvement in raising his children are also a great buffer against a life of crime.
Root cause of violent crime

It's got to be the smart phones and social media

My highschool too. Graduated in 88.

I graduated in 1996. At that time there were multiple firearms in almost every dude's vehicle in the parking lot. Hell we used to go straight from the duck blind to class. The difference is we all had good parents. Shitty parents cause school shootings. That and the whole democrats destroying society thing.

But those didn’t become ubiquitous until after 2010.
Something else happened to our society starting around 1975/1980ish.

Well no but one has to consider the fantasy element of shooting people in a video game and becoming numb and detached from reality.
Same generation is probably buying sex dolls...smoking weed in moms basement

I remember kids riding their dirt bikes to school. Had to be at least 20-30 2 stroke bikes pulling up about the same time.

I graduated in 95, had a rifle rack in my 1979 Ford F100. Carried a 12 gauge a couple times when I was going hunting with my podnas after school. Never had an issue.
