1. What in the bloody hell gets into people

With the massacre of school kids, whether in China with knife slashing, or in an America with an AR15?

Is there a silent dog whistle of resentment against the innocent. Who pushes this hatred? Why?

If there were ever a reason to spy on each and every citizen of the world it should be to keep our schools safe. (I guess) I still resent being spied on.

Is there some larger plot being spread in right wing, white supremacy, gun nut groups, that schoolchildren are a threat? Or the public school is a threat. Who benefits when parents are too afraid to allow kids to go to school?

I have to believe it is perpetuated by an actual entity or organization not just the simultaneous voices in multiple minds?

Why does this happen and why does the NRA lobby to keep social science from studying and publishing the findings ?
