That suddenly there is a "mass shooting" about every other day. Not a huge conspiracy guy but I don't believe there is any possible way that it is coincidence. Do we have an army of Manchurian candidates running around?

Makes you feel like the deck is stacked against you.

Odd, sad but our new normal!

Don't know, but it seems shootings breed shootings. One mental case does it, then the next guy says "hold my beer".

Suicide bombers have been around for awhile. I don’t think it’s rare that lost people that have reached the taking their own life point think about punishing others.

I know a number of people who have stated should they ever develop a terminal disease, it wouldn’t just be terminal for them.

Not a conspiracy theorist either but I wonder if less than stable folks are just done.
Everything is so dang negative with nothing positive. The news is nothing good with this new administration & still dealing with covid

First, when people don't believe something, the automaticly call it a conspiracy. It may be true, it may not be. Use some critical thinking and do some research and make an educated decision.

Most of these mass shootings are glorified suicides. Like most suicides, it's done by those that believe it that there's no way out and decide to take a few grudges out to ease their passing. It's rare that it's done by those of sane mind. The previous year we had with little inperson interaction, dismal financial prospects and general societal madness is not helping things. I highly doubt it's a planned conspiracy because if it's done, it's a horribly planned one.

more the power of suggestion , "hey it's all the rage , don't just off yourself take out the people you hate also " plaster that on the news every night and people in bad places take the bait.

before the mass shootings started this year you could google in early march your state and mass shooting epidemic or rise in mas shooting and it returned stories pre written about the mas surge in violence , this was early march before any on this started often the article talked about events from 1-3 year ago because 2020 had so few events.

if you report it , they will follow.

Could it be that having Biden as President is pushing some marginal people over the edge?

No.

Every time you get on the internet you are participating in a behavioral study , its subtle when you are presented with this stimuli you point and click on that possible result . It's a very effective way to developed a mental profile on somebody. There are literally thousands of persuasive psychologist engineering web content to get you to point and click , buy or participate . Knowing that the data and possibly profiles of around 3-4billion people are floating around out there in cyber land . Every government in the world is trying to develop ways to identify possible terrorist through the internet .
Let's say a government entity maybe domestic , maybe foreign has identified a thousand possible mass shooters . Would it be possible to feed them persuasive stimuli to convince them to act , maybe a digital friend to tell them how cool it would it would be . They could just keep adding more profiles until somebody acts

I don’t know about feeding them information but if they made an inquiry about health insurance from the government, they’ll receive enough texts and phone calls they’ll want to shoot somebody. lol

The deck IS stacked.....

Stand Tall, Fellas!

Yes, as in the mass BS being fed to the masses by the leftist media has pushed a few over the edge.

I think the Covid lockdowns have pushed people closer to the edge and it is taking less than normal to tip them over the edge.
