since the late forties going into the fifties things were different . As time goes by we as adults wanted more for our children then what we had. And they in turn wanted more for their children then what they had. we became a complacent society where "feelings' were always being over anyalized at every given moment. Ohh those poor families so today people are not as strong mentally as they used to be. we have codlled them from generation to generation.. spankings stopped being administered instead time outs. as a point. so when something hits them they don't understand how to handle it and then.... you have seen the results.

i think some people need to be loved. when they don't get it for an extended period they bottom out and lose it.
there really are too many reasons to mention. each person who loses it has their own reasons.

Wow, security at church??

I attend a small church, maybe 120 actual card carrying members, maybe 60 on Sunday morning. When I am a greeter there are a lot of hugs. Maybe I should feel for suspicious items? noway

Frustration, anger, and fear coupled with mental health issues.

Another thing.. People want to numb the pain and try medication drugs....They alone have harmful side effects if not used right!making your emotions even stronger....and your rage stronger...

They are assholes with poor coping skills usually, and are incredibly selfish and enjoy hurting others.

When my ex asked for the divorce, I moved out within a couple of wks. After about 3 months I began to understand why people snap during these situations. I don't agree with or condone it but I understand how they got to that place.
When my brother got divorced, he moved to Colo. where most of our family was, he essentially disappeared to to the ex and his kids. No contact what so ever. Never paid any child support, years later they caught up with him and he had to pay less than 50 dollars a month. He was on disability and had only a part time job. When he was dieing, there was still no contact. His kids, now in their late 20's weren't notified until about a month after he died.
I never agreed with how he handled it, but I understand it.
Edit: his kids are mid 30's.

Frustration, anger, hopelessness, fear, just to name a few. I truly don't think insanity is involved in most cases, but more that people have been or feel pushed beyond their limits and endurance. In today's economy when most people struggle even in a 2 adult household to provide for themselves and any children present. Loss of a job, loss of a spouse or s/o and their income, loss of a home can all be catastrophic. Not to mention more and more loving parents are losing custody of children they adore due to financial loss and not being able to provide for them. Add to that a loss of faith as more and more people quit believing in any kind of higher power that is on their side. And you have a recipe for disaster.
