Comment on Why don't we hear more about the 2017 Las Vegas shooting? It was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, we never found a motive, and it seems no one ever mentions it.

But you don’t think children with a childhood steeped in violence and families steeped in violence are going to grow up thinking about this?

No, quite the opposite. But what I think is that when a country rallies violence and presents it as something normal, all of the citizens, children included, will be affected. Maybe the fact that those violence factories are near had influence, but I would guess that this influence only added a bit to what everyone got already.

Except maybe if the workers viewed working for military as a cornerstone for their self-identity, maybe that would become a greater factor.
