Columbine is not far from Aurora.

Maybe society has a place in why these things happen. Truth is, someone wants to do this they can get the things they need to pull it off.

We also institutionalzed many if these people in the past. Violent crimes, mass killings, crazed murder, all these have happened thru time. Nothing new, but still sad none the less. I've watched violent movies, listened to violent music, and played violent games my entire life and yet yo go on a rampage. In fact, I know about 100 people just like me. What makes these people break is mental illness.

How did that get reported with no social media back then?

pretty sure you know that's not the point at all. I'm sure it was in most newspapers within a week or 2 but how many had daily access to that? Now compare how many have access to this story and how quickly

If people have mental illness they are already broken. Violent entertainment becomes the catalyst.

Let's hope you and your 100 friends stay mentally competent.

Large majority of the population had access to that story, of violent men killing other violent men. I fail to see the significance of how quickly the populace receives the story. If I heard it today it makes me think there's more violence? But if I don't hear it till tomorrow, not so bad?
