Why do people commit mass murder?

[Metis]

Here's this guy's perspective on it:

 

[Bush]

Ideology, attention, and/or revenge and anger against society as a whole. Probably.

Journalism and the attention aspect are definitely in a feedback loop.

 

[Mole]

Mass murder in the USA is largely carried out by narcissistic individuals. This shouldn't be a surprise as narcissism is a functional part of life in the USA.

probably because an extrovert forced them to socialize for a week straight, I know that would be my reason.

I'm joking i would never commit mass murder

Same.

Not mass murder but definitely a homicide.

If that were true, we would elect narcissists to political office. Don't be ridiculous.

Not really. I'm not a sadist and I've never actually harmed anyone. And I don't plan too. So if that's all you got out of that, maybe you should stop reading Erich Fromm and get some original ideas yourself.

Nawh.

I know a good thing when I find it.

Yeah, I'm sure, coming from a guy that has 25,870 invested posts, yet uses condescension and snide remarks to try and communicate with people.

And for the sake of honesty, it just bothers me that you think so lowly of me, without knowing anything about me, but whatever. I don't know why you said that, but if you wanted to provoke a response, fine congratulations. It would be great if you could have just said what you didn't like about my post and I'd probably respect that. I'm not perfect; I've had destructive thoughts and feelings about things I don't necessarily like (and I don't think I'm the only one and doubt you haven't either), but I really don't appreciate being marginalized like that and I don't think I treat anyone else like that on here.

So if you actually care that I stick around, please stop.
