Comment on The more I understand mass shooters, the more I don't what they do.

Depends what you mean by “understand”.
If you mean that you comprehend in a scientific or sociological how someone could be driven by societal or psychological symptoms into a state of psychosis where it seems like taking innocent lives is an answer to their problems, okay.
I don’t really see how that would make you less like to care about their actions.
If you’re saying that you understand in the empathetic sense, as in you feel the same things that you’ve identified in mass shooters, then you need professional help.
Mass shooters don’t feel the way they do because they’re well-adjusted or stable.

I think they mean the more they agree with the point of view of the stated reason why they did the mass shooting the less they care about it.
Which is also pretty weird, since mass shooters usually “select” their targets pretty indiscriminately and usually commit their mass murders due to some psychological issues and only use the stated “reason” as an excuse to commit mass murder.
Judging by OPs comment history, he does have some unresolved issues towards certain population groups so I guess what he means is that it’s ok for him if mass murderers kill members of groups that he doesn’t like.
I wonder if this is grimreaper’s alt account.
I wish the mods would limit the stuff these psychos post.
