57.5% of the US population was non-Hispanic white in 2025, with 1.06% being Middle Eastern and North African (MENA), so about 56.4% are non-Middle Eastern whites. With 55.0% of the murderers and victims being non-Middle Eastern whites, whites are slightly below their share of those involved in these attacks.
With all the discussions about the racial motives of shooters, blacks are underrepresented as a share of the victims. Blacks comprise 17.4% of the murderers but only 9.9% of the victims. That 9.9% is less than their 13.7% of the general population.
Hispanics are underrepresented as a share of mass murderers. 11.0% of these mass murderers are Hispanic compared to Hispanics, making up 20.0% of the general population. But their 17.1% share of the victims is close to Hispanics’ share of the general population.
Compared to Middle Easterners at 1.06% of the general population, they are overrepresented as a share of mass murderers (6.4%) and slightly underrepresented in terms of victims (0.9%).
Asians make up 6.7% of the population, but they are overrepresented in both mass murderers (7.3%) and even more overrepresented as victims (9.5%). Interestingly, 50.6% of the Asians murdered in these attacks were murdered by other Asians.
Trans individuals are well over-represented in terms of attacks. There are three estimates of the percentage of adults who are trans (CDC’s Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) finds 0.5% between 2017 to 2020, Gallup shows 0.7% in 2021, and the Census puts it at 1% in 2023). These numbers are clearly increasing over time, so an average for 2018 to 2023 years would probably overestimate the rate, but the average is 0.73%. Trans share of mass public shootings over the 2018 to 2025 period is 6.2 times their share of the population. The Nashville Catholic School shooter in 2023 and the Club Q murderer who identified as nonbinary and used the pronouns they and them in 2022 were transgender individuals.
Over the period from 1998 to 2025, 50% of mass murderers have seen mental health care professionals before their attacks.

This is Becoming a Pattern
The correlation of mental illness and mass murder goes back centuries. 2/11/26 Sunday Guardian reports the recent school massacre murder was by someone born male but dressing as female. (The article has a picture reminding you that men pretending to be women are profoundly ineffective.)
It has been clear for some time that while the Professional Caring Classes deny it, these people are mentally ill. Amplifying this are the legacy media and antisocial media. Transgender are now a disproportionate part of mass murderers. Encouraging confused people to take hormones for the opposite sex seems like a recipe for confused or overwrought emotions.

I learned recently that Methamphetamine use causes psychosis, and it is in fact referred to as Methamphetamine psychosis,.
ReplyDeleteAlso, considering that now transgenderism seems to be a condition the "Caring Classes" want to treat on a same-day, outpatient basis, the sudden introduction of drugs to make the people with this condition feel, think, and act like the sex they wish to become, cause a psychosis after the sudden introduction of these drugs to people who lived their entire lives up to that moment without those drugs shouldn't be a surprise, and pretending it is, is a form of criminal malpractice.
Anyone who has had children who experienced puberty knows that is not a calm and rational process. No wonder with the drugs, violence ensues. "Normal" puberty at least occurs over a longer period than what these poor patients experience as an outpatient process
