What mass murderers have in common
A new analysis of the writings of various shooters finds a common strain of paranoia

など、欧米における銃乱射事件の犯人は、マスコミには冷たいイメージがあるが、実際には、激しい被害妄想をもった怒れる一匹狼である、と。
Japan Times のコラムニストのやっている在日外国人むけのブログや、在特会などの言説は、被害妄想と怒りに満ちているが、あれは、あれで、集団を形成して、ヘイトスピーチ的な愚痴を言いあって、怒りが物理的にエスカレート、暴発するとの抑止しているのかね？
What mass murderers have in common
A new analysis of the writings of various shooters finds a common strain of paranoia

Far from being cool or detached, these young men were enraged, their delusions of persecution becoming ever more intense and intolerable.
Overall, this analysis suggests many of the media’s cliches regarding mass killers appear to be wrong. They were bullied? “This group greatly exaggerates the negativity of their treatment, as reported by third-party school peers,” the researchers note, adding that their writings contain few references to specific experiences of being a bullying victim.
Perhaps the problem is too few mental health services? Well, three of the four men examined here had been assessed by psychiatrists, none of whom picked up on the deep nature of their disturbances.
That said, one popular conception about these men is clearly correct.
“There were differing levels of social isolation for Cho, Gill, Breivik and Harris,” the researchers write. “Cho had extreme social anxiety, isolated himself and showed social incompetence. Gill and Harris had some friends, but clearly pictured themselves as marginalized. “All were described as loners.”
