Many mass killings arise bc disturbed person w/sexuality problems (gay AND straight) seek attention thru violence. Is FBI blind to most?

No. The logic carries to extra suspicion for people who are violent. Again, stop ignoring that part of my tweet.

Again, I'm NOT saying go after the haystack. I'm asking if FBI won't ID a needle IN HAND bc it's not the needle they're looking for.
