Mass shootings by young males

What is it about 18-20 year old males that makes them want to take semi automatic rifles, go to a public place and shoot as many people as they can before they either shoot them selves or make a fast get away - like a true coward.
What makes them do such a thing?
There are still mass shootings waiting to happen at your local shopping mall or movie theatre in the coming days.

Cowards can't kill.

@rrraksamam I would say just the opposite. Cowards kill in a cowardly manner, such as by sitting on a rooftop and firing into unarmed crowds.

@ElwoodBlues It takes a certain amount of detachment, coldness, insensitivity, inhumanity and ruthlessness to kill a human.

You might call them savage, barbaric, insane? Sure.
Cowards? I don't think that definition would apply to someone to is willing to kill and die in the process.

@rrraksamam I see no evidence that Crimo was willing to die.

@ElwoodBlues But he was willing to kill

@ElwoodBlues Snipers usually work from the rooftops in urban environments. Would you call them cowards?

ElwoodBlues · M

@rrraksamam Depends on whether they're shooting people who can't shoot back. There's no question in my mind that Robert E Crimo III was doing his killing in a most cowardly manner.

Lemme guess: did you view Dylann Roof as a hero for entering a room with 9 unarmed people and killing them all?

@rrraksamam Wrong. Give a gun to a coward and they will shoot everything in sight. It makes them feel powerful.
