On NPR, they talked abotu tow different shootings in Russia.

I think mass shootings are a result of a combination of loneliness, lack of acceptance and hopelessness. I think it this is mostly due to the fact that we evolved to interact with each other and virtual interaction doesn't solve the need for face to face interaction(s). Some people feel such strong frustration(s) that they act out in a way that they have to be noticed, even though I doubt they realized themselves why they are doing so.

Anyway, I think mass shootigns are more common in the U.S. because we spend more time looking at screens, TVs, computers or phones, than we spend looking at each other.

Recent events in Russia, has greatly increased the feelings of hopelessness there, and people are starting to act out. I think they also somewhat have their own kind of gun culture there as well.

At least they don’t have two or three of these a year like we do. Crazies are everywhere!
