Why do people become killers? There are only three reasons -- Here they are
FOX News ^ | May 26, 2018 | J. Warner Wallace

Following the most recent school mass shooting – this time in Santa Fe, Texas, where 10 students and teachers were killed and 10 were wounded Friday – family members, friends and investigators find themselves searching for illusive answers.

Why did this happen? How do you make sense of such a senseless tragedy?

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pointed out that unlike other recent mass shootings, “there were not those types of warning signs. The red-flag warnings were either nonexistent or very imperceptible.”

The accused shooter’s parents said the media reports of the shooting seemed “incompatible with the boy (they) love,” and the 17-year-old boy’s best friend said he was “one of the most responsible people I knew. He didn't drink or do drugs, to my knowledge … he was academically proactive, making all A's.”

Given the profile that is emerging, investigators have not yet identified the motive for the shooting.

I, however, know precisely why this latest killer did what he did. And I also know what will motivate the next killer to act in a similar way.

Many years ago, as I began investigating high-profile murders in Los Angeles County, I carefully chronicled the motives for every homicide that occurred in our region. You might think there are a million reasons why someone would commit a murder, but there are only three possibilities.

At least one of these three motives is the driving force behind every homicide, theft, burglary and robbery. In fact, these three motives lie at the heart of every conceivable crime or misdeed.

Human misbehavior is motivated by: financial greed, sexual – or relational – lust, and the pursuit of power.

All three of which are used in mind control operations.

So insanity or a chemical imbalance can be sewn into any one of these 3 I would imagine.

there’s at least one more:

people who are drugged or boozed out of their minds and get into pointless fights that end up with someone being killed ...

If “power” is infamy, then yes.
These are happening more because the media amplifies the notoriety of the perpetrator.
There were no mass school shootings, even though guns were readily available, just decades ago. What changed is God was removed from public discussion and infamous acts became celebrated in the media.

This guy nailed it. No values that would prevent any of those three is the very root of the problem.

Mind control. When we think of that we usually think of the CIA operations. However, there has been a form of mind control going on in the public schools for the last 30 years. It started out in the inner city schools and it is there that they got their sea legs. From there it seeped into the suburban schools.

If you remember any lessons on the Andes plane crash where kids were forced to think about eating dead bodies - that was a very small part of it. But the main lesson was to get the kids to ignore anything their parents said to them, making the teacher and the school the sole arbitrators in the student's character development.

Most teachers and parents and students had no idea what was going on nor did they ever consider what kind of an effect these kind of lessons would have on the students.

The ultimate goal was to create students who would be likely to turn off their consciences. In other words, training for psychopathy.

Fast forward to today. Some kid shoots up a classroom of fellow students. Then you get a picture of him. He looks stunned. All the people around him are stunned. The school and the nation grieves for the lost students and we all end up scratching our heads as to how and why this took place.

He was one of the kids who took all those lessons of bad character formation to heart and acted upon it.

Add drugs and you have recipe for true disaster.

Yep, mind control right under our noses.

Mostly I think they do it for the financial gain though I'm sure sex and power are motivations for them too.

Of course, the media will claim that they are not “celebrating” these incidents and that the public “has a right to know.”

This ,like everything else CNN and the AP puts out, is self-serving horse-puckey

If the media had any conscience at all, they would refuse to “cover” any more shootings.

You might be wondering if there is a fourth category. There isn’t. What about jealousy? What about anger? Ask yourself the question: What is causing the jealousy or anger? There are only three answers to this question, and now you know them.

And now that you know them there is no need to go to the bandwidth hogging Faux news site.

Do not discount CIA/Deep State operations, additionally funded by Soros, et al.

They cannot succeed without significantly disarming the population, or at least making them reluctant to arm themselves.

Actually there is a root cause at the base of every crime committed : covetousness: the desire to have or take what belongs to someone else.

Read James 5:1-4.
