Any thoughts on "virgin rage" aspects to many mass shootings?

Chris doesn't have the capability for it. He's seriously out of shape (so any potential victim could easily fight back), has none of the money or influence Harvey had, and mostly stays in his room all day, so there's not too many people he could theoretically choose to assault. Chris is far more likely to do a petty crime like shoplifting than sexual assault.

I once spent a whole weekend reading into the lore of CWC. Time well spent.

"Why can't I get any?" he asked. What was he doing wrong? What was it about him that made girls not want to get involved with him? If he could have found a girl who wanted to be with him, it would have given him a new lease on life.

If both Eric and Dylan had been able to find girlfriends, they wouldn't have gone NBK. Having girlfriends wouldn't have made their lives perfect, but it would have given them a reason to live.

Absolutely.

Guys who are getting laid don't have the time(nor care) to think about blowing up schools and other such nonsense.

I have always thought this was the primary thing fueling the massacre.

Being sexually active would've allowed them to let off steam. get their frustrations out in better ways.They were both passionate guys with no outlet for that passion. Literal timebombs waiting to explode.

Yes....because of his frustrations.

Give him a girlfriend and that starts to change. He probably would've had issues with women no matter what but it wouldn't have stayed at that level.

This is one of the aspects of Columbine that has always fascinated me. The lack of sex played a huge role in the leadup to Columbine yet during the attack there is no obvious sexual component to the massacre.

Really...

I have to to respectfully disagree. Getting laid may help someone blow off steam at first, but it's not going to stop all the other stuff going on in their heads.

There are violent offenders, criminals etc.. who are getting laid and still committing crimes. James Holmes had a girlfriend who I assume he was intimate with and still shot up a theatre.

Plus HS relationships are fleeting, maybe Eric just needed that and to get out of Littleton but Dylan needed some help that wasn't just to blow off steam with a woman.

Its not a coincidence that 99.9% of these school shooters are frustrated virgins.

There's a connection whether you disagree or not.

Its also not a coincidence that 99.9% of school shooters have MANY other issues going on besides being virgins.

Exactly and it would have been some sort of miracle if Robyn gave it up to Dylan on prom night and he decided not to go through with it and just go to University of Arizona in the fall. Miracle that is the massacre not happening, not Robyn giving it up, because Robyn did have a crush on him somewhat according to quite a few people.

Also, let's not demonize teenagers who don't get any... why is that so bad? There is enough pressure on teens and 20 year olds then to be like "you have to get laid too!!" yea they get it..

That's putting a lot on the girls too... implying if they just would have given it up there wouldn't have been a massacre.

I argued this on the thread earlier but I'll say it again: there seems to be a positive correlation between anti-social tendencies and teen school shooters that goes much deeper than sex. It's a failure to make person connections with people that makes it difficult for them to succeed when it comes to sex and relationships. It's not that having sex would have "cured" them, they needed help in many areas to overcome their desire to hurt others and themselves.

Agreed

I'm a virgin and i have never dated.i wish i had a girlfriend but i probably never will but still not having a gf doesnt make you shoot up some place

I am a virgin, and it angers me sometimes, but I would never kill people over it.
