I get what you’re saying, but I was referring to the short list of 4 attributes the title referred to in the first part of the article:
- childhood trauma,
- a personal crisis or specific grievance,
- a “script” or examples that validate their feelings or provide a roadmap,
- access to a firearm.
They emphasize mental illness way too much in that article.
I also wasn’t too keen on the way they split out the different categories in order to “find” differences between the profiles of the different shooters. In aggregate, it still comes right back to the big three attributes I refer to.
