The media exposes these shootings for the hungry and thirsty for the shocking news and in turn causes even more mental instable people to imitate the ones on the news.

We will never have a perfect society ... that's all I meant by one in a million people will go to the extremes these news items have generated.

OK fair enough.
now talking about only mass shootings, taking into account population differences why does the US appear to have proportionally more than other western countries.
other countries have movies, other countries have sensationalist media, other countries have mentally unstable people. So why is America so different on this?
Its OK to say rather flippantly that its one in a million, but if other countries come up with 1 in 30 million, one in a hundred million or once in a blue moon when the wind comes from the north and south the geese fly backwards and Tuesday becomes Sunday it shows that your problem is vastly greater.
Is it more crazies, crazier crazies or crazies having too easy access to firearms?
