COMMON QUALITIES Fox and Jack Levin, director of Northeastern’s Brudnick Center on Conflict and Violence, listed five factors common to many mass killers: — a long history of frustration and failure; — a tendency to blame other people and never accept blame for their own shortcomings or failures; — a tendency to be socially isolated and loners; — some kind of a “final straw” event occurs that triggers the crime like being dumped by a girlfriend or fired from a job; — and access to firearms, preferably high-powered ones.
This describes my uncle perfectly.
