Born in the USA: Razed on Rage

Nick Ut/AP

The other other elephant in the room that never gets addressed when discussing the prevalence of mass shootings in 'murica: the cowboy culture of violence; where the "exceptionalism" of the USA makes it A-ok to have different rules (no accountability) for their criminals and illegal actions in the world. Especially, in the proliferation of armed violence, weapons sales, preemptive wars, and mass genocide. Evidently, that topic is to be ignored, and by default is taboo.

Antidepressants 

Thoughts, emotions and a variety of environmental factors play into the manifestation of violence, but mental illness by itself cannot account for the massive rise in mass murder — unless you include antidepressants in the equation. Yet even when mental health does enter the mass shooter discussion, the issue of antidepressants, specifically, is rarely mentioned. 

The fact is, depression per se rarely results in violence. Only after antidepressants became commonplace did mass shootings take off, and many mass shooters have been shown to be on antidepressants."
