6. She had broken up with her shooter

So many of these mass attacks were young men angry about not being able to have their pick of women. It's not talked about that much, but it should be.

8. This makes me so angry. This poor young girl has lost her life because

some entitled little piece of shit decided that he would rather kill her than be rejected by her. I am so tired of hearing about stories like this. RIP Jaelynn.

11. Well, if you come right down to it,

Men are a leading cause of death for women.

3 women a day die at the hands of men they thought at one time loved them. So, the entitlement isn't just among the young.

It's something we really need to address as a culture. Hopefully the #MeToo movement will lead into that.

9. Yes, and this young man with testosterone toxicity and no impulse control had access to a GUN.

Horrific that yet another family is decimated by this fact.

I am so sad by this and all the grievous gun stories. I am OLD.

"Back in the Day" (I am a geezer), individual violence involved horrible fistfights, some knives etc.

For sure, there was terrible group violence ala gay bashing, rapes, lynchings --- but not reported to the general public until recently.

I suspect those were fueled by testosterone as well, as you posit.

Toxic testosterone plus a GUN is the difference between a nasty beating and death.

10. A beautiful young woman

So so wrong. This happens too often outside of schools. Those deaths need to be addressed too.
