The Reasoning Behind Mass Killers

[Miller0700]

I've been thinking long and hard about the mindset of spree killers like Lanza and more or less about mass killers in general. And Lanza, like a hell of a lot of mass murders in history, has at least one, two, three or all five of these traits below:



o Bottled up emotions, brought about by little to no one to communicate with or poor social/communication skills.
o Crappy parent(s) or guardian(s) who are either too naive, too soft or too oblivious to the plight of their child's problems, too abusive and controlling, or too stubborn and refuses to listen to their kid's feelings and concerns.
o Physical, verbal, or even sexual abuse done by other non family members/guardians.
o Social anxiety/shyness created by prolonged isolation from people and society.
o A false sense of superiority, feelings of insecurity and/or low self-esteem due to narcissistic behavior brought about by helicopter parenting or lack of attention and/or praise.


This ends up creating individuals with…




*Distorted and flawed views of society and reality.
*Lack of empathy and remorse.
*Twisted, sadistic and sometimes morbidly sexual fantasies.
*Violent, reckless and impulsive temper and behavior.
*A persistent desire to be noticed, to feel important or to be on top.
*Feelings of jealousy, envy and disdain of more happier or successful people.



For some reason, everyone overlooks these reasons and point fingers at the most ridiculous, (like music, guns, non-belief, or video games, which aren’t the cause but do help perpetuate and worsen their conditions) rather than looking at the roots which are parental and/or non-parental abuse, neglect and poor social skills.

The media overlooks these reasons so they can place blame on video games, or atheists, so that they can shape the views of the people/country.

By doing this the media can make masses of people believe anything they want.

Why do they choose video games? I have no idea, some people believe they cause anti social behaviors, but that is true about anything without moderation.

Well. Looks like my destiny is clear.

The actual common ground between mass murderers is that they're overwhelmingly men, but no ever blames that.

[Miller0700]

Yeah, I mentioned that in the link. ^^

[magikarp]

Ooh, I didn't read it yet. >_>

[Miller0700]

It's understandable.



I posted that link at Deviant art and got this reply well the gist of it:

Quote:...White males are a target from every other demographic because of their overall history. They're dragged down and brow-beaten into believing that their time of power is over, and hereafter belong into submission. This, combined with what you said of general male oppression, gives rise to such killing sprees.

Planning on getting rid of all the males then? Good luck getting the human race out of THAT hole.

But not all males do this, its only from a very, very small minority.
