You respond as if in disagreement yet the article affirms everything I've said lol.

There is no single profile for a mass shooter. Your best chance at getting any one thing correct about them is that they're male. 94% chance.

According to the FBI, there is no single warning sign, checklist,or algorithm to identify a mass shooter before an attack.

How about some possible profiles?

This profile includes characteristics such as:

• A young white male who feels entitled and has been bullied

• Access to guns in the home

• An honor roll student from a good community

• Intolerant attitudes toward racial or religious minorities

• Possesses a superiority attitude

• Poor coping skills

• Exhibits distorted thinking relative to the negativity he perceives from others

Okay, what about mental health aspects? Yes, suicidality is an incredible predictor. But guess what? It's only there in 30% of cases prior to the shooting.

Suicidality was found to be a strong predictor of perpetration of mass shootings. Of all mass shooters in the The Violence Project database, 30% were suicidal prior to the shooting. An additional 39% were suicidal during the shooting. Those numbers were significantly higher for younger shooters, with K-12 students who engaged in mass shootings found to be suicidal in 92% of instances and college/university students who engaged in mass shooting suicidal 100% of the time.

Oh no it must've been trauma then! Everyone knows someone who suffered abuse is more likely to abuse right!? No.

In terms of past trauma, 31% of persons who perpetrated mass shootings were found to have experiences of severe childhood trauma, and over 80% were in crisis

Want to know the real profile? Massive change in personality. Wants access to guns. They'll TELL someone they're thinking about hurting others. Loneliness.

NONE of which requires anything even remotely mentioned in that farce of a greentext lol.
