Obviously violence isn't ever the answer but I'm just curious, when people go nuts and decide to take life and cause terror, what makes their decision to attack something like say a school or a church/mosque, a sporting event. As far as I see it in this day and age the biggest stressors in our society are corporations yet you never see someone say. "Yeah im gonna attack Amazon or HG wells"

Why is this? Why seemingly random places

Mass shooters aren't exactly known for their well-rationed thinking. On a side note, what's up with H.G. Wells??

I was just trying to think of corperation names, though I do believe HG wells was at the center of some controversy

πŸ˜‚ HG Wells is an English writer often known for being the β€œfather of science fiction.” He is most famous for writing The War of the Worlds.

You may be thinking of H.G. Hill or Wells Fargo?
