Science cannot prevent mass shootings, but that shouldn't stop us from fixing mental

But the OP says there's no predictable profile.

Yeah?

How many of the shooters are female? None or damn few. Reduces profiling to those with XY chromosomes.

How many of the shooters are black? Only one or two. Reduces pool of shooters in the US by another 15%.

How many of the shooters are immigrants? About half. Hmmmm.

How many of the shooters are on psychiatric drugs...or, rather, prescribed them? Many.

How many of the shooters are politically conservative? None. Hmmm......HMMMMMM.....

Yeah, there's LOTS of room for profiling these $#@!s.

A conversation:

p1- Hey, somebody just shot up our kids at the school !
p2- They did? OMG, we need to fix that! Who should we call? Whose fault is it?
p3- Well, its the governments fault for letting people have guns.
p2- Naw, its the governments fault for letting crazy people run around loose.
p3- Naw, naw, its the governments fault for not guarding the school!

p1- OK, well, people are working on all of those things. In the meantime,
they are our kids, we gotta do something.
p1- Who is willing to spend 1 day a month being at the school as a Watcher?
