NPR did a good story on a study that examined what shooters DO and DO NOT like. They like videos of chaos and screaming. They like their photo shown. They don't like stories about the victims that make the victims seem like they're human. What they were doing before the shootings, things they did with their lives, etc. They don't like stories about the community itself that aren't just about the event (shooting). I n…
Could you link to a source? This is interesting to me but I'd like to know more about their method for arriving at those conclusions. I wasn't able to find the article/study you're referencing.
Was going to ask the same. I’d love to read it.

I'll do some searching. I know it was on NPR, and within the last 3 years.
(just leaving a comment for future reference because I'm also interested)

> Limit second amendment more to prevent more shootings. I've always wondered the validity of a "constitutional freedom" that allows random everyday people to own and operate tools that are essentially killing machines.
> I've always wondered the validity of a "constitutional freedom" that allows random everyday people to own and operate tools that are essentially killing machines. Not sure why you put quotes around constitutional freedom. The reason for the amendment is such that when someone or someones come along and attempt to abridge your rights you can kill them with the killing machine. As simple as that.
Bad people kill so kill bad people. So logical...

Access to bridges also increases the chances of successful suicide. The clear change that should be suggested is more proactive identification of mental illness and increased guaranteed access to mental health services. If that reads to you as nothing but "thoughts and prayers", I don't know what to say.
Committing suicide is a spur of the moment action. Every impediment that makes it harder to commit suicide gives an individual valuable seconds to reconsider, at which point they might decide to use whatever health services they have access too. Limiting easy ways to commit suicide AND having good mental health services seems a better idea than one or the other.
Maybe the actual final act is impulsive, but given personal experience, someone plans for a long time before they have that final impulsive moment. Lots of time to overcome blocks.

> Men are more successful, but women try more often. What's the source behind that, particularly how do they count "try," e.g. is it self-reported or based on emergency services dispatched? Does something like sitting in your closet with a 12GA in your mouth for 30 minutes only to emerge unscathed, to never speak of it again count as a try?
The Wikipedia article linked above: > Although females attempt suicide at a higher rate, they are more likely to use methods that are less immediately lethal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_differences_in_suicide#...
I'm asking about methodology as relates to the statistic, not for the sentence in a Wiki.

#168This must be brutal for the producers & actors. I'd be crushed.
Netflix was told over and over that it would be prudent to remove the most graphic scene, and it refused to... for two years . Until they did. https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/16/20696151/13-reasons-why-n...
Wow, this was recent, too.

#170Throwaway and vagueness for hopefully obvious reasons.
I was loosely involved in the production of this show. I didn't find out about it until after our contribution was finished.
If I had known what content we were working on I would voiced my concern. I'm deeply ashamed I had anything to do with this and if I had known, I wish I could have verbalized my objection and voiced concern over being affiliated with the reckless disregard the production staff has for a leading cause of death among people in America that has taken the lives of friends and family.
