I see the nuance and don't see how it helps. Or are you saying we screen known violent people for mental disturbances?

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.

I don't see how that practically shakes out to be different. "We have this loose profile" still seems to be driving

Please, from top: Are you arguing that male, history of violence, mental disturbance should have predictive weight for FBI?

No. Are you arguing that finding same, KNOWING those are precursors for mass killings, should be ignored when FBI stumble son them?

If they don't have predictive weight how can you but ignore them?

No, I'm genuinely confused how you can say a set of traits won't tell you anything useful and then factor in those traits.

But if you stumble on it, there's zero reason that should be less concerning than VERY SAME behaviors but w/Islamic twist.
