''Bruh I'm looking at the history of school shootings. Mind-blowing, kids brought guns to school until the 70s.''

Only 3 school mass shootings between 1903-1966.

What happened?

(Didnt take off until the 90s)

k12academics.com/school-shootin…

almost every school shooting from 1800-1960 was targetted at one person.

(One guy shot his teacher in 1866 for bullying his brother and got acquitted. Wild)

School shootings simply didn't happen with any frequency until 1993

Something went wrong for kids born post 1975

And it got significantly worse for kids born 1996-2001

The early 1900ds it was explosions and bombs there was no mass shootings.

There was only 1 school shooting in the 1800ds.(1898 Charleston. 6 died

ZERO until 1940 when a highschool principal shot 5 of his colleagues😵‍💫(5 died)

1966 at university of Texas , rose Mar college. (18,5)

No school shooting until 1984….

This is new phenomenon

School shooting defined as 3 or more dead.

There were a many instances of 1 or 2 people being shot 1800-1970 (revenge, not mostly random). Even that was RARE.

There was an elementary school shooting (5 kids) in the 70s no one died.

Don't tell me further isolating already mentally fragile kids for 2 years didn't have consequences. This suggests increases are due to isolation and mental issues.

Opioids and suicides were already exploding pre 2020

America leading the world in substance abuse disorder. Theres Over reliance on pharma.

Dealing with depression and bullying with extreme outcomes IE killing yourself or killing others. (that's also new and unusual)

Alot of good points being made.

SSRIs, ritalin, lack of community/socialization/church/purpose for young men, family breakdown , social media, columbine/contagion, LBJ, isolation, lack of social institutions

Prominent Democrat Rushed to Hospital After Suffering Stroke

conservativebrief.com/prominent-63157

May 25, 2022

OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.

Another leading Democrat has been admitted to the hospital after having a stroke, marking the third one over a span of roughly two weeks.

Earlier this month, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, suffered a stroke as he was giving a speech. Next, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman was hospitalized just a few days before winning the Democratic nomination to the U.S. Senate.

And on Monday, North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, one of the most prominent Democrats in the state, was rushed to the hospital for suffering what he is describing as a “minor stroke.”

“He tweeted that he has suffered stroke-like symptoms Monday night after he and his wife, Anna, walked the family dog,” The Horn News reported.

“Stein, 55, may have suffered a more severe case than the other two. He underwent emergency surgery to remove a small blood cloth,” the report said, adding:

Stein’s office confirmed his medical emergency and his stay in a Raleigh hospital, and Stein’s office said the clot-removal procedure was successful.

“I’m feeling back to normal now and am beyond blessed to have no lingering effects,” Stein wrote, adding that his physician wants him to stay in the hospital another day or two, then get some rest before returning to work.

The Associated Press adds:

Stein, a former state senator, has been considered a potential 2024 gubernatorial candidate to succeed Cooper, who is barred by term limits from running again. By narrow margins, Stein was elected attorney general in 2016 and reelected in 2020.

Stein led the consumer protection division in the Department of Justice when Cooper was attorney general before Stein went into private practice.

Stein announced May 17 that he had tested positive for COVID-19 the day before but said he had no symptoms.

After his stroke incident, Van Hollen said in a statement on Twitter that doctors at George Washington University Hospital informed him that “there are no long-term effects or damage as a result of this incident.”

Van Hollen said he would be hospitalized for “a few days” but planned to return to work later in the week.

“This weekend, I was admitted to George Washington University Hospital after experiencing lightheadedness and acute neck pain while I was delivering a speech in Western Maryland. At the recommendation of the Attending Physician, I sought medical attention upon my return home,” his statement began.

“Earlier today, an angiogram indicated that I had experienced a minor stroke in the form of a small venous tear at the back of my head. Fortunately, I have been informed that there are no long-term effects or damage as a result of this incident, but my doctors have advised that out of an abundance of caution I remain under observation for a few days. I look forward to returning to work in the Senate later this week and thank the medical team for their excellent care,” Van Hollen concluded.

1. NPR underlines the family factor: "Many, though not all, of perpetrators have experienced childhood traumas such as physical or emotional abuse & unstable families w/ violent, absent or alcoholic parents… most have experienced significant losses."

1. There was a family angle w/ the TX shooter, who was fatherless & lived in what appears to have been an unstable home: “I think he needed mental help. And more closure with his family. And love.” washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/05…

1. One psychologist who studied 56 school shooters found that "82% of the sample either grew up in dysfunctional families or without their parents together (for at least part of their lives)." schoolshooters.info/sites/default/…

1. But that's one sample. I'd like to see a more recent update of this analysis to replicate the pattern. However, in general, we know that young men from fatherless/dysfunctional homes are more prone to violence, a point I made in this Atlantic article:

1. This isn't to minimize role that mental health, bullying, masculinity and esp. American gun culture play in accounting for plague of mass shootings that have beset our country–e.g., we don't see these shootings in European countries w/ similar problems minus our gun culture.

1. Still, if we're "serious @ ending scourge of school shootings.. must also get serious about strengthening families that are our 1st line of defense in preventing boys from falling into a downward spiral of rage, hopelessness, or nihilism that can end in senseless violence."

1. This is a point I made here:

1. But, finally, family is only part of this terrible story in America. We must also tackle the mental health, masculinity, bullying, red flag and gun law angles if we wish to turn this tide of violence back.
