I Will Stop Most of These Mass Shootings
Here is the solution:
The "I Wanna Kill People!!!! " Hotline
119 from any phone.

I know this will work because I've been there. I have been "life frustrated" to the point of wanting to kill 100 million people.
It's a combination of "I fucking hate my life!!!" and "I wish I could show the world I am not to be forgotten!!!"
When the future seems awful and the present is worse, there are not many options. In America past angry young men went west to the frontier and started fresh in the wilderness.
Nowadays there is no way to blow off steam.
If you tell someone you want to kill 100 million people they lock you up. In a place worse than jail, since all you did was share your feelings.
The mental health system SUCKS. It helps NOBODY. Especially people like Mr. Active-Shooter.
He couldn't tell anyone his dark fantasies. He couldn't rage and threaten and smash things without getting in trouble. So he kept it in. His alone-thoughts spiraling down towards "death to all".
What if he coulda just, told a friendly voice he felt like killing a lot of people, without getting in trouble? And trust me, required visits to some cocksucker called doctor is "in trouble".
Nobody wants to be treated like they're crazy. It makes them crazier.
And nobody is, crazy. It might take a minute to get a bearing on why a person is upset but there's always a fixable reason.
You show me a guy who's homicidal and I'll show you a guy who needs a vacation and a compassionate ear.
Also to get laid. That's the ultimate solution. No active shooter has an active sex life.
None of that was gettable by our villain. So his rage at the dying of his hope boiled over.
What if he coulda dialed three numbers and told someone anonymously "I really wanna go kill some people today!!!"
And then that person coulda offered him free tickets to a Mets game (not that watching them lose would help much), vouchers for the ferry to Liberty Island, six hotdogs at any food cart, an hour at a plate smashing place, and maybe, a phone connect, to a kindred spirit - a woman or man as was his preference - who also hated their life.
What started off as his desire to kill as many people as possible could have ended with he and a sexy guest at a ballgame. Maybe even hooking up like the Phillies fan and his girlfriend (go Phils!).
Love soothes hate.

Each homicidally angry person MUST BE MADE TO SMILE.
We gotta give them something. They're at their last give-a-damn.
Antiseptic advice, pills, unConstitutional incarceration and law enforcement scrutiny will not make them smile.
WE HAVE TO MAKE THEM HAPPIER. The minute a dead soul sees a ray of hope for the future they stop wanting to go out with a bang.
