Was the inequality and ridicule behind the motivation for the Mass shootings in campuses?

Answer 1

Uh...it's a little hard to understand your question; but here's my attempt at answering it:

People lashing out after being bullied, teased, harrassed, or taunted for a prolonged period of time is like when you pump air into a balloon repeatedly until it bursts. In the case of the balloon, as you pump the air into it, there's a point where the balloon is so filled with air that the walls of the balloon can no longer handle the pressure and so they break. There's a point where after being assaulted for a prolonged period of time a person may feel they can't keep the anger and pain to theselves anymore. At this point, ideally the person would go seek out someone who they can trust with whom to share their problems. If they don't have anyone around who they trust, that most definitely adds to the problem because combined with the burden of their emotional pain is the additional pain of feeling no one cares about how they feel. They at some point start to feel hopeless, have nothing to live for, and their hopelessness, anger, and sadness take over and they ultimately lash out.

Answer 2

Yes. Definitely. And now that the one person who was ridiculed and felt unequal is gone, the problem is solved. Good thing he was the only one.

OR, someone who was mentally unstable and had been ordered for psychiatric treatment went nuts and killed a bunch of people. Yeah, that one makes more sense.

The main problem is that there is a system in place that identifies people at risk, but the people who are supposed to be enforcing it are paralyzed by a legal system that gives more rights to the people who need help than to the victim. There are lawyers who are waiting for a chance to make a name for themselves (and don't forget about the money, too) by portraying the University as 'unfair' or 'racist' because this poor South Korean boy just wanted an education and the administration is trying to label him as 'dangerous' and 'a threat to others' and 'unstable'. Nope, no one's putting their career on the line for that kind of abuse. The way the system is set up, you have to wait for the massacre, then you can come forward with what should have been done.

Kids get bullied every day in every school across the country. It isn't right, but it isn't the cause of these killings. Stop trying to blame everyone else except the person who pulled the trigger.

Answer 3

There are certain situations that seem 'unfair' to some people in life. If they have poor patterns of thinking, depression, and perhaps bipolar or some other personality disorder, the person feel it is probably justified to take lives.
But in rational thought, we know that isn't a good reason.
That person Cho, should have gotten help a long time ago. He is just one example of someone else who slipped through the mental health system.

Answer 4

He wasn't bullied or harassed, he was avoided. Known as a sicko to be avoided. Which by the way was proved out well I'd say. He wasn't the only foreign national on campus. He wasn't a poor downtrodden minority seeking equality. He was a privileged class, in an up scale university, moneyed, aspiring to greatness in doing evil. And everyone is making his dreams a reality. And in doing this, encouraging more sickos' to imitate the same evil for the same ends.

Answer 5

The lack of mental care provided to people in the US (well the lack of health care in general but thats for later discussion- but ESPECIALLY mental health care)
along with the stigma that goes along with mental health care in this society
Plus the lack of a supportive social network (which could have been a symptom of a mental illness)
According to one study it could have been due to damage of the frontal lobe caused by extreme mental distress, childhood trauma or abuse
I personally blame the culture of violence in this country - poor gun control laws... the emphasis on violence in the media as a way of solving problems
Lets see...
The police department and the university for not shutting down the university after the first shootings occurred and they did not have a suspect in custody...
Umm... the gun control laws did I mention those? -Gun control laws that are too superficial (why is it that he ws able to purchase a gun even though he had been deemed by a judge as a danger to himself and others? Even if he was only deemed a danger to himself - why allow a suicidal person to buy a gun...sighs)
Yeah...that's all I can think of now and those are just reasons for the sake of reasons Hell in actuality nobody has any flippen clue why it happened we can just emrely speculate as to what we can do to prevent this from happening in the future....

Answer 6

No, at least not in the VT case. The killer was obviously paranoid schizophrenic and delusional. He thought that everybody was trying to make him miserable on purpose. He thought he was like Jesus Christ.
Nobody did this to him. It is a brain chemistry disorder.
