Becoming more common in rural America. Trump escalates the rhetoric to a frenzy...they need a climax....they then resort to weapons...mass murder....to feel complete.

9. The internet biographical accrual sites are often wrong about marital status.
Sun Aug 4, 2019, 12:00 PM
Aug 2019

Those sites proffer garbled information about all of us. Those sites guess at a given subject's profile points, such as marital status and income level. The goal of the sites is to acquire clicks and information. In this case, I share your skepticism that the killer was married.

a person with no upwardly mobile job, stuck in a small town in a rather economically depressed area. Time to brood and hate. Could be said of most of the shooters.

Presumably he could have left for a bigger town if he didn't like living in a small town.

Several Coworkers of mine drives or drove from Dayton to Cincinnati. Dayton and Cincinnati have plenty of decent paying jobs available. This should be no excuse to go on a shooting spree if you are of sound mind.

So much of the midwest is suffering from lost jobs and companies. Glad things are doing better in that part of Ohio.

him out of the shooting. Dang... their parents... just horrible.... maybe they were part of the problem and maybe not
All these wrecked lives in El Paso and Dayton... and beyond. Because we can’t pass common sense gun laws in this country. Tragic.
