Why have there been so many shootings whithin the last year?

Question

It's getting outrageous, the latest shooting has again occured on a college campus...so sad. Should people be afraid to go to college?

Answer 1

the long answer involves social circumstance, lack of morality and isolation.  The short answer is "copycat".

Answer 2

Truth is, there have been four shootings in schools just this week alone.

The problem is the fact that parents can't discipline their children the old-fashioned way with a good butt whuppin.

We have become too soft in raising children, and society is the cause of it.

It isn't rocket science.

Answer 3

I think there are many factors at work here. one is the music kids are listening to. I am all for freedom of speech, But not when someone else,s rights are taken away. The lyrics are mostly about cussing someone out, how much better the so called singer is than anybody else, beating someone down, and even killing someone if you don't like them. It glorifies selling and taking drugs. Even pre-teens are bopping their heads to this and think this behavior is acceptable and/or desirable. So the ones that survive the violence, drugs, prison or death should not fear going to collage. They have less of a chance of making it without an education.

Answer 4

There are more hatefull missfits around now.

Answer 5

I never got a "butt-whoopin" and I've never wanted to shoot anybody...We live in stone-age bodies in 2008.  Our bodies aren't made to deal with longterm stress..espicially kids.  Not an excuse for killers, but one reason.  Don't be scared to go to college, but don't be scared to report strange behavior.

Answer 6

Because people are selfish and arrogant, not spending any time to be kind to those who are less fortunate, it be by looks or intelligence. Outsiders also needs love and affection, not verbal bullying.
