    … desperately want any kind of fame

    I don’t really agree. In neither case did the perpetrator seek attention, rather the event itself was spotlighted by the news cycle.

    I feel the cases cited were retaliations to perceived wrongs undermining our rights; a last ditch effort from abuses or failures our government should protect us from.

      This is gonna be the next trend after school shootings.

      It’s not just people doing it for political beliefs, they’re gonna be people doing it because they have nothing to do with their life and desperately want any kind of fame.

      I thought given the context it was clear…

      But yes, when you chop a piece of a sentence out of the rest and strip away all context, it’s not gonna make sense.

      You got me there

        I just quoted that to reference my comment to yours.

        But I still disagree on the motivation behind the violence whether political, fame, or trendy. I think it’s being wronged and powerless within the the limits of our legal system and stalled economic possibilities that make some lash out.

          No, you just still don’t understand from context that it’s clear I was referring to future shooters going after wealthy people rather than school kids

          Does it make sense now?
