[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1486489, member: 18945"] And, ""It's everyone's fault but theirs" mentality." This is a big part of it. There is no shortage of 'apologists' ready to point fingers somewhere, everywhere, anywhere but at the shooter. This last shooter was 19. By that time, everyone knows right from wrong...everyone. These guys know the sociologists will point fingers elsewhere from the git go. Making excuses for aberrant behavior makes it all the more acceptable to those who have these kind of latent tendencies to begin with. For the vast majority of those with that kind of hidden thought process, it isn't acted upon because of fear and shame, but some figure there will be no shame anyway because there will be plenty of people that will step up & offer public defacto excuses FOR them. We see it happening here in this thread. [/QUOTE]
