Obviously violence isn’t ever the answer but I’m just curious, when people go nuts and decide to take life and cause terror, what makes their decision to attack something like say a school or a church/mosque, a sporting event. As far as I see it in this day and age the biggest stressors in our society are corporations yet you never see someone say. “Yeah im gonna attack Amazon or HG wells”

Why is this? Why seemingly random places

    School shooters usually go after the environment in which they they were abused.

    Churches and other temples are usually attacked for religious reasons.

    Apart from that a public gathering of many people is the easiest to cause widespread destruction in. An office building isn’t as tightly packed and might even have its own security. Plus, if you want to lash out against a corporation you are probably more likely to blame upper management than the general workforce. But targeting specific rich people is even harder and takes more planning.

    But also: 9/11 was targeted at a lot of corporations.
