> I really give zero fucks about the monster's backstory
And this is exactly why it keeps happening.
And this is exactly why it keeps happening.
It was concluded that the Sandy Hook shooter was a pedo that liked to shoot children.
The Colombine High School shooters were trying to kill the most people possible (but were shitty at making bombs).
The Colorado Theater (Batman) shooter said killing someone took their value and gave it to his life.
The Oklahoma City bomber said it was a counter attack against the Feds for Waco.
Dennis Nilsen killed 15 boys and slept next to their bodies because he felt lonely.
Son of Sam was a Satan follower listening to a demon that spoke to him through his neighbor's dog.
The Green River Killer murdered 48 women and girls, dumped them in the woods and then returned to f*ck the bodies. His motivation was to kill as many women as he could.
Not sure how knowing any of that stops the next one.
If it's really a life choice someone is considering then I'm 1,000% behind them seeking help. If they've already started dumping bodies in ravines, not so much.
One of the most popular types of medicines in the usa to prescribe to people with psychotic tendencies entirely eradicates any psychotic outbreaks, but also completely suspends the physical production of dopamine, meaning people become physically unable to feel happiness, or much of anything. They become inert breathing husks.
And since a lot of people are either of the opinion "fix yourself, or we'll fix you with guns", and the "fix yourself" step is pretty much suicide, just of another kind, it is not only normal that people don't seek help, but it would be almost crazier to actually go and seek help.
Until the USA as a country actually start caring about these people, like the citizens they are, they will have no incentive whatsoever to trust themselves to other people, and things like those in your list will keep happening.
