    Editing my comment.

    There is a connection between the two boys that has led them to a place where this seems to be acceptable behavior. It’s something they share but is also fairly unique since most families aren’t producing multiple potential or actual school shooters.

    I am interested to see what underlying causes are identified, if any.

        theres no one cause for it, but the long list of stepping stones starts at american culture as a whole

      It’s almost always bullying or abuse at home, but no one ever admits it. These people were mentally and/or physically tortured by other people. They want revenge or to inflict a fate worse than they were given. But we keep acting like bullying still isn’t an issue and that these people were just messed up naturally.

      My bet is on dysfunctional family - maybe child sa, maybe mental illness or other trauma/combination of traumas. Our society is unstable (Ie: pandemic) and they feel out of control, maybe abandoned, and this is the only way they feel powerful.
