I contend many of these factors are additive.

The factors you’re describing are not irrelevant. But they merely create the conditions that open someone up to indoctrination. Consider the millions with similar backgrounds who shoot no one. The primary problem regarding violence at this level is the radicals who indoctrinate.

Black teens don't need to shoot their way into a white or immigrant crowd. As fatherless as their culture is, they have a tight tribe. It's internally fraught with its hierarchy issues. But they are not lashing outward into other tribes. In context of these mass shootings anyway.

What percentage of mass shooters have absent fathers compared to the overall population?

It’s quite possible for a young man today to grow up without a single positive male role model in his life. No father at home. All female teachers and principals. No church, so no priest/pastor. No Scouting, so no scoutmaster. No extended family nearby, so no uncles/grandpas…

I'm just not sure there's an established correlation between that and these shooters though. Violence and abuse seem to be more of a problem. As is the toxic legacy left by previous shooters. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2019-08-04/el-paso-dayton-gilroy-mass-shooters-data …

Bizarre to me that anyone would attribute mass shootings to "over-feminization" when women almost never participate in these acts. I keep thinking of this guy from the Walmart in El Paso. https://taskandpurpose.com/el-paso-shooting-glendon-oakley?fbclid=IwAR2qw1crGFO1xU5fhZU4TYzJMt2gSTylIrz1bHRDzqbU_Zzl8aARHT2RvHg …

This guy knows what matters. He's made his own mistakes, but he's also figured out what's important. "I wasn't focused on myself, and I wasn't focused on my surroundings ... I was just focused on those kids." Service to others is where real worth lies.
