Mass shootings are caused from lack of vegans

We devalue nonhuman animals too much in society. That's why there are mass shooters, people. How we value nonhuman animals is the foundation for how we treat human animals.
Think of it like this: You are given a seed. You plant it in soil. In a few years, you have a large plant.
The seed represents how we treat and value animals.
The grown plant represents how we treat and value humans.
In order for us to care for the plant, we first have to care for the seed. We should plant it properly. We should water it generously. We should let it have its recommended time in the sunlight.
If we do all of these things properly, the plant will grow nice, large, healthy, and green.
If we neglect any of these duties, it will affect how the plant will grow. If we didn't water it as much as we should have, it may grow small and brittle. If we didn't give it enough sunlight as we should have, it may grow thin and discolored.
If we damage the seed entirely with a mallet, there will be no plant at all.
When you neglect or devalue an animal, it consequently negatively affects how we value and care for humans.
Those who torture and harm animals, or kill them, do not have any value for human beings. There can be no plant at all.
However, when we value animals to the fullest potential, and consider them our equals, then by default, we value human life to the fullest potential. The former only carries over to the latter.
Mass shooters aren't vegan, folks. The man who kidnapped, tortured, and raped two barely teenage girls in Delphi, Indiiana wasn't vegan, folks. Jeffrey Dahmer wasn't vegan, folks. When you can empathize with a baby calf longing for his mother, you're not going to kidnap a teen away from her mother. When you're worried about how much a chicken is suffering behind a closed door, you're not going to go out and inflict suffering on humans.
In order for these people to commit these acts, they had to devalue animals…at the very least, the "normal" way society does, or possibly even inflicted abuse onto them…
When you value animals, humans will take care of itself. Peace begins on your plate! -

NOPE!
In fact I'm a firm believer that those desensitized to violence and enjoy dark humor are the sanest people of all…
When Louis CK makes a rape joke, dumb people will say, "He just joked about rape! So offensive! Some things should not be joked about!" They can't see past "rape." Smart people find the humor because the understand the metaphor, contextual satire, and mockery of rape within the joke. -

Someone said video games are to blame
It's stupid for anyone to 100% blame video games for mass shootings, but I saw a psychologist on a news segment recently discussing the fact that for some, playing first-person shooter games contributes to their ability to dehumanize people IRL.
She also said young people who play 5-6 hours of video games every day, combined with the common fact that many of them are poorly adjusted socially, contributes to a level of narcissism that makes them vulnerable to feeling "wronged" by people and/or situations in real life… and all this together can make them angry enough to do something to show they're striking back against a perceived victimhood.
Apparently, stupid people
don't know
they're stupid. -

That first-person shooter video games can lead to shootings.
I think owning a semi automatic gun can lead to shootings. People will be like, “whoa cool I think I’ll test this out.”
I also don’t think the biggest issue preventing shootings is how desensitized we are to violence. Every millennial is desensitized to that. It’s the fear of being arrested.
And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane
By those who could not hear the music. -

If
that's
the entirety of what you doubted, you're doubting an extreme oversimplification of the many factors the psychologist cited.
They're all there in my post… you obviously missed the complexity of what she said.
"Lead to shootings"? It's more like "
contribute
to a sick, maladjusted narcissist's decision to want to kill a bunch of people."
Get it now?
Apparently, stupid people
