Rampage Killers...Rare or Common?

Today in class we watched one documentary and a half of another concerning about rampage killers, or people who have committed crimes in a large scale, enough for it to be a massacre. We've already found out a while ago that nurture, genes, and brain activity might be factors that lead a person to be a psychopath. And with a constant pattern with all known psychopaths, it seems so. That doesn't instantly make any psychopath a killer, but research proves that they may have potential. One can say that with this research, future massacres can be prevented, but the thing is, not everyone with a psychotic mind will or can be a potential killer. The only ways to help prevent massacres like the Navy Yard Shooting or the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting is to watch signs from potential rampage killers.

  1. I agree with you in the point that the only way to prevent massacres is to watch for the signs that a killer may express. But, how does a person know what these signs are? No parent, sibling, or friend wants to believe that a person close to them has potential to commit such a horrific crime.
