I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

Do you think that the school shootings and other violence mainly comes from lack of discipline, especially parental discipline? One woman said that in our day (we grew up in the 80s) armed school officials meant a paddle not a gun. Lack of discipline is probably part of the problem but there's more going on than that. I told her there were plenty of spoiled brats in our day too, although it wasn't the majority like it is now.

I am thinking along the line that if people are bullied, maligned on a daily basis then they build up a hatred for mankind and need to "Get Back" at Society.
We read about the perpetrators of these mass shootings being described as weird, a loner. We all know Society shuns those "Not like themselves".
So the person shunned feels not wanted by society, becomes bitter and reacts, sometimes in horrific ways.
