If you look at this as a problem of human behavior, why is it that most people don't do this or what drives people to do this? human beings have the capacity to do this kind of violence. We all are capable of this, of lethal violence. So what prevents people from committing lethal violence or why do people do it? I mean, you can understand it from the perspective of defensive, protective violence.

If you're a parent of young children and someone's threatening your children, you might kill someone to protect your children. I think that's what that's really talking about, the social barriers to violence broad and strong in most cases, you're not going to do that because you know what the consequences are.

And you also aren't motivated to do that unless maybe something terrible or threatening happens to you or your family. This is a different type of violence. It's a predatory violence that is built on a process, a way of thinking that develops. And what is it that is driving that? That's really what that question is about. Most people

are going to feel inhibited from even thinking in that direction. Everyone gets mad and frustrated or feels socially rejected or goes through these things in life, but you don't think, I'm going to go kill them and I'm going to take everyone with me. That is a very different kind of thought process that most people's social barriers stand in the way of, I think.

Yeah, that's an interesting historical case. The story of mass shootings in America, that's in some ways understood to be the original or the first school shooting. By the way, what you said about Columbine at the outset, you know, a lot of people today think of Columbine was the first school shooting, but that's not true at all.

There were multiple school shootings in the 1990s and some big ones included. that preceded that, but because of some specific things about that event, not least that it was the first that was really like played out on live television. It's seared into the public memory that way, but that's actually not right. And you can go back to 1966 to Austin, Texas, a clock tower shooting.

I did a lot of research on that case too. And from all my study of it, that was an inconclusive investigation that the brain tumor that was found in the autopsy, it couldn't be determined in any definitive way that that was somehow a causal factor.
