Criminal Justice and Crime

Wow, you're completely missing my point. I'm not saying that the experts' claims are incorrect in a narrow sense; I'm saying that they fail to trace the chain of causes all the way to its beginning.

Take these parts, for instance:

Researchers have identified several circumstances shared by people who commit mass violence. They are almost (but not always) men, many of whom have suffered from some form of early childhood trauma or abuse. Most are suicidal.

Among the most important is a history of domestic violence. In 2021, researchers found that a majority of mass shootings were domestic violence-related. “A substantial fraction of mass shootings are not these killings of strangers in public places, but they occur in ongoing domestic disputes,” says Nagin.

I'm not disputing that mass shooters tend to have suffered trauma due to exposure to domestic abuse. What I'm asking is, what strategies are the researchers suggesting to prevent the domestic abuse before it happens? The answer appears to be fuck-all!

Instead, the experts are suggesting we cruelly let the abuse happen, identity the small subset of victims who decide to retaliate, and only then give them any scrap of help.

And that cruelty is what you're defending with your bullshit fallacies. You should be ashamed of yourself!
