Does anyone not know that the suicide rate among gay teenagers in devout families (both Muslim and Christian) is crazy high? Add in some cultural anger and some narcissistic rage, and I think those factors become very dangerous in the right person. It's almost too predictable, sadly.

I agree with all of this - I know it's those things I listed but you can't cure them.
I get my post was pretty negative but this #### has been happening since the dawn of man. Maybe not to the scale it does now with the accessibility to automatic weapons but it's always been around.
I also get the argument about the US being the forerunner too, again it's the sheer number of people. Norway had a mass killing - there's only 5 million people there. Genocide and child soldiers in Africa, same #### in the Balkans. We're so ####ed haha.
