There is much attention on what influenced the two adolescent gunmen...I ask the question...What were they re-acting to? So my question assumes a sanity...

My earliest ideas were that these two most recent school mass shootings were a part of a domestic terrorism which is protest of liberal policies and programs and protest of...say...changing demographics such as international immigration...

Well I have to consider that this latest shooting was based on school and/or peer conflicts...but those things can reflect the larger society as well...(With several of the victims being girls I am shocked to consider that...frustration...may have been a factor...(...And if not domestic terrorism then I am reminded of suicide groups of teenagers in New Jersey a few years back and if that then we are separating the confusion of teens from any aspect of domestic terrorism...

(On the subject of domestic terrorism...consider that conservative, regional...right wing type people...say...WASP's...consider that they might need symbolic leadership (similar to the MLK leadership that "minorities" once needed( as a means of dealing with changes in demographics and attitudes...(...

But I go back to the question...what were the adolescent gunmen re-acting to? Charged issues of society? Polarized activities within micro school-society?
What?

And of course it is widely being suggested that they were influenced (by video games and such( and not re-acting...That lets the politicians and administrators off the hook and lends support to gun control and to methods of psychological supervision...(which is something that many will...react to...(...

Frame of mind they had leading up to this attack? Not good...but were they influenced or were they re-acting?

Now...these are very tough points to make...
