"Empire of Death and the Plague of Civic
Violence” by Darrell Y. Hamamoto made me think about things that I felt were right
before. Initially I viewed gun violence and deaths as a source of the
individuals. Now reading this, I would have to do more research to validate my
stance, I find that there could be statistics that correlate to this but thats
it. This logistically shows connections between violence in America, however I
find many things influence these violent killers. I mean can we really only
blame one thing for the reason individuals become these murderers. Coming from
Colorado and having a second hand experience with Columbine, a mass school
shooting, I did research and read about the psych evaluations of the shooters.
There were many root causes to why they would have certain thoughts and the
research went in depth but As i came to the end I found that these individuals
were living in a nice place with good parents. He was never supposed to be
triggered to do something like this, so i think it truly just depends on the
person not correlations to military, but the person is just crazy.
What are the main characteristics, or the make-up,
of a killer?
