Apparently, at least according to this study, being male is a factor in the killings. In this study they were looking at stress factors, related to the culture, that would set males off- but it's also true that males are stewing in testosterone, which certainly boosts violence, and they also have different brains from females. If you have a population, women, who don't seem to be indulging in mass murders, and you had a population who do, men- you have to wonder what the differences are- unless we have to be all PC and not talk about it.

We do that with race. I'd never deny that we don't get to talk honestly about race- because we don't- but I never figured we'd hold up our failure to be honest about the races as a model for other areas. I didn't realize maleness was an untouchable PC issue. Has it become one?

I skimmed the guy's "manifesto", and he was outraged that blonde white hotties would socialize with Asians, Hispanics and blacks, but not him. The idiot was too intimidated by any woman to say word one, let alone talk one into bed, or even a kiss. I think that's what drove his target selection.

Can't intelligently comment on your observation other than to say that it it is my belief that it is pretty well established that schizo/bipolar disorders have their roots in chemical imbalances--a lot of which can be corrected through medicine. Hence my push to get people to act in that direction. Getting those exhibiting symptoms to the medicine/treatment.
