“Empire of Death and the Plague of Civic Violence” by
Darrell Hamamoto provides the correlation between mass murder in sociality and
murder in war areas. Majority of the time, when the economy drops and the
income is low, middle class white males are the culprit for mass murder. Since
the government supports non-white minorities during war periods, many
middle-class white males often become enraged and attack civilization. Another
case is that the school shootings and war in Southeast Asia draws parallels each
other in that both the killer and the invasion of the US army killed innocent
bystanders. The 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers continues the bloodshed by provoking
America into anti-terrorism. After serving the military in Iraq, McVeight was
rejected and went on a killing spree. The FBI had to step in and were criticized
for their involvement.
Many of these cases involve different races, specifically
non-white, as the victims within the US and outside of the US. However, it
could be perceived as the US scapegoating another race to promote their own
agenda. The data also provides that the most likely killer would be a white
male engineering sociality to fear the white males.
Is the
government socially engineering the public to fear certain races and scapegoat
others?

I'm just giddy over your questions. The next step is to socially reverse engineer to get to the answer :D
