    Many of them appear to be suicide by mass murder, with a heavy dose of aspiring for infamy.https://twitter.com/intelwire/status/966670561580601345 …

    Since the majority of mass shooters die during their attacks, it's hard to see how the threat of death will disincentivize them.

        That's a large public safety risk, even outside of schools. Emotional well being is an externality in private sector decision making but it's not an externality to society at-large.

        Agree. Hard to believe that these individuals are acting rationally or in fear of death. Read @DaveCullen essential "Columbine" -- remains one of the best examinations of motivations/reality of these individuals.

        On the other hand, what are we going to do on the day a teacher accidentally shoots a student, which will inevitably happen under an, arm teachers, kind of policy. There’s just no way it makes sense. And the casual way Trump talks about a teacher killing a child makes me cold.

        I suspect there is a mental difference between "suicide by cop" and "blaze of glory," with the latter being linked to the infamy complex.

        I agree in fact it might even encourage some to "practice" to prepare fro what they'd see as an epic fight to the death and an even more gloriously infamous way to die and be remembered. The guy that took out two or three armed people on there way to mass murder.

        People are making the mistake of viewing these people as raving lunatics with little intelligence..No, they are usually highly determined and motivated by their goal and will prepare accordingly. If they can get an assault rifle then they can also acquire body armor.

        Does this mean that "certain highly trained teachers" will now also need assault weapons and body armor to counter the threat. This solution is the path to madness. Prevention and limit of access to assault weapons is where the answer lies.

        This is a very specific kind of suicidal ideation. To stop it we need to identify people in crisis and support them. We also need to remove access to weapons and diminish the narrative that they are following.
