Nail on head. That, and the wide reporting of these shootings (inevitable) which has already planted the seeds of an idea in the disturbed, disaffected heads of other troubled kids. I reckon there are many more disturbed kids who would be capable of such things, but it's just the pieces haven't quite fallen into place for them, for he majority they maybe never quite will, luckily, but there will always be some where they do. Like all other types of US shootings, it has become an established thing and periodically they will reoccur.

Gun control to the extent that such kids couldn't obtain a killing weapon is something I can't ever see happening. As someone else said, that horse has very long ago bolted.

I do think they are more unhappy - or more dissatisfied. American kids can be nearly 100 times more likely to be prescribed anti-psychotic drugs than European kids. That is obviously a societal thing - it is the first response in USA whereas it is probably the last in some European countries, partly influenced by a medical system that will exploit any situation for profit. But there must be more to it than the availability of guns. There are not a third of the mass shootings in other countries with that proportion of guns in society. American kids are exposed to real violence more than most & media violence, usually with the good guys winning, more than anyone.

Personally I believe the reason is not that American kids are more prone to this behaviour, it's that they have easier access to firearms. I remember reading somewhere that the highest suicide figures in the UK are among farmers, vets, doctors and dentists. Why? Because they have easier access to the means than the rest of us.

Main points

There were 18,998 suicides in men and women aged between 20 and 64 years between 2011 and 2015, which constitutes a rate of around 12 deaths for every 100,000 people per year; for around 7 in 10 (13,232) of these suicides, an occupation was provided at the time of death registration.
Males working in the lowest-skilled occupations had a 44% higher risk of suicide than the male national average; the risk among males in skilled trades was 35% higher.
The risk of suicide among low-skilled male labourers, particularly those working in construction roles, was 3 times higher than the male national average.
For males working in skilled trades, the highest risk was among building finishing trades; particularly, plasterers and painters and decorators had more than double the risk of suicide than the male national average.
The risk of suicide was elevated for those in culture, media and sport occupations for males (20% higher than the male average) and females (69% higher); risk was highest among those working in artistic, literary and media occupations.
For females, the risk of suicide among health professionals was 24% higher than the female national average; this is largely explained by high suicide risk among female nurses.
Male and female carers had a risk of suicide that was almost twice the national average.
Females within the teaching and education profession had a lower risk of suicide but specifically for primary and nursery schoolteachers there was evidence of an elevated risk.
Individuals working in roles as managers, directors and senior officials – the highest paid occupation group – had the lowest risk of suicide. Among corporate managers and directors the risk of suicide was more than 70% lower for both sexes.

one day closer to death

Re: Donald Trump : Tue Dec 11, 2018 10:44 pm  
MASSIVE own goal by the Democrats today in the Oval Office. Trump may as well have picked up his chair and smashed it over Schumer's head. Trump utterly destroyed him, and at the same time gave every one of his supporters exactly what they want to see and hear. The reaction from Republicans has been enormous.

For clarity before the usual suspects jumps in - I'm not a Trump supporter although I do support a shake-up of the liberal status quo.

I've said it before: Trump will get a second term.*

Maybe to his base but anyone with a brain in side their head will see through him, again.

Chuck and Nancy agreed border security is important and will give him the same funding he’s had over last 2 years, trump says he wants more and will shut the government down while the debt grows and his much trumped stock market falls.

But at least no ones talking about Muller.

"When the president brags that he won North Dakota and Indiana, he's in real trouble," Mr Schumer said.

Well, I think we’re going through a phase in which illiberal attitudes are on the march.

However, going mainstream demands some positive ideas. A movement can never move beyond the protest stage by just chucking poop and being angrily against things.

On Trump, if we discount the emergence of lustful urges in his teens, the lad clearly hasn’t had any emotional growth since pre-school.

When is it ok to be a terrorist? When you are the US government according to Donald Trump. I hope the courts can block this order to keep the killing of innocent civilians secret.

President Donald Trump has revoked a policy set by his predecessor requiring US intelligence officials to publish the number of civilians killed in drone strikes outside of war zones.

How does that make him a terrorist? Your trolling skills are slipping.
