Agreed, the average profile of the young shooter is not that of someone who takes offence at everything, but the quiet one. The isolated one, who doesn't fit in because they're 'not right'.
Funnily enough, part of the drive that has lead to this accidental 'coddoling' of the American public was originally to try and prevent the loner type, the outcast either through religion or social status, from happening. To try and make all sorts of people from all walks of life welcome and comfortable.
Like with most things though, it's gone a bit too far because some people have pushed it that way.
