'The ease of access to firearms, lack of universal healthcare, outdated education system, rising cost of living, increasing concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, rampant spread of right-wing propaganda, nonsensical poverty guidelines'.
To be fair, Kevin was not effected by most of these things. He had everything he could ever want, a dad who went above and beyond (the absence of a father figure is usually a symptom of the problem), a mother who (as she tells us) encourages him/says she loves him at least three times a day etc. Kevin had no reason to do what he did other than he was born a sociopath. His sister was brought up in the exact same conditions and was a loveable child.
I absolutely get you, you're dead right. It was a good way of keeping the conversation focused on the far more interesting questions of why, who is to blame etc. and not veering off into the... other discussion
