Mass shooters don't think "I wanna do a mass shooting" and then come up with reasons for it. It seems like you're only saying this because you're aware that the shooter's fears and grievances so closely resemble those espoused regularly on Tucker Carlson Tonight.

But Cody if you close your eyes and rationalize real hard. Then you don't have to face systemic issues, nor take any responsibility. So much easier to just imagine that it's totally disconnected from any economic or social context...

Stop publicizing manifestos

And the media runs to expose their identity for a few clicks and reads. Their names should not be broadcast nor their voices heard. The ideology behind the attack is too often used as a weapon or their illness an excuse.

They sure are obsessed with symbolism and dual narratives. Always working an angle. Pitting one side against another. Repeated themes, and copy-cat imagery or wording.
