Despite being only 4% of the world's population, Americans make up 67% of the planet's serial killers.
Why is that?

The lead in their drinking water makes them dumb and violent.
Chlorinated chicken
There's probably better statistics. There's probably more unknown serial killers in South America, Africa and Asia. That said, there has been a lot of glorification of serial killers in American media. That has to have had some impact.
America is a shithole
we here in Canada are so different!
You have more murders than most of the western hemisphere combined.
That does not change my previous statement
Because America glorifies and gives media attention to serial killers.
Or they used to anyways. Now they give all attention to mass shooters which is why they are more prevelant.
Mass shooters get attention but not the same glorification. Not comparable to the large number of movies and tv series that portray serial killers as cool, mysterious geniuses.
My province gets tap water from the local glacier watershed, do you?
>Now they give all attention to mass shooters which is why they are more prevelant.
Imagine believing this. It's not because of inspiration from the media, or access to guns, or mental health, if any of those were the reason then you would see even a fraction as much of this in other western nations where the conditions are similar, in those regards, such as Canada. It's because American society is beginning to collapse as whole, shootings are a symptom of a bigger problem.

This, there are a lot of copycat cases too. Same for school shootings, they are often some kind of revenge fantasy that is enabled by the fact that these guys become global news for years or even decades to come. For fucks sake, "Pumped up kicks" is about the Columbine shooters and it's a relatively recent song. These Columbine nigga's have become global pop culture icons, even down to their iconic outfits.
That, and mental health in the US (especially for men) is fucking atrocious (not that other Western countries are any better when it comes to the gender divide, but at least they're better in overall quality). It's easy to blame the NRA and ignore the fact that the pharmaceutics lobby is fucking massive and nearly all school shooters of the past 30 years were on some kind of anti-psychotics.
>nearly all school shooters of the past 30 years were on some kind of anti-psychotics.
not surprising, but got any statistics on this?
let's be honest though if i could get away with i'd kill everybody i don't like just for fun
White kids in trenchcoats deserve at least a chuckle
I did a google search and I mixed up two facts in my head. The "all school shooters in the past 30 years" thing applies to them being raised by single mothers (with the exception of one, and I think even his parents died when he was young).

A large portion of them were on or withdrawing from anti-psychotics, but this trend is not as strong as the single mother trend.

Here's a choice quote:
>A review of scientific literature published in Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry regarding the "astonishing rate" of mental illness over the past 50 years revealed that it's not "mental illness" causing the problem, but, rather, the psychiatric drugs prescribed to treat it.[11] Since the introduction of antipsychotics in 1955 and the newer Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressants in 1987, both have been documented to be linked to violent effects.
The fact that American doctors are increasingly becoming government backed drugdealers isn't helping either (not that Europe is immune to this either, we recently had a pretty big scandal revealing that Dutch doctors prescribe(d) the highly addictive painkiller oxycodon for relatively minor pains when lighter and less addictive painkillers would've sufficed).
American bloodlust
Thanks for verifying your stupidity, yes our laws regarding consumable and safe water and food are far better
Ah yes, the Angl* countries in the lead. Always knew there was something wrong with Angl*s.
there used to be some here in the XX century. Glad to see this cunt is out of that ranking now
Because bigger, there nothing indicating that to be a per capita statistic.
>The "all school shooters in the past 30 years" thing applies to them being raised by single mothers
Incel statistic manipulation, more like had abusive fathers that lead to that.
Yes, abusive fathers that were absent from their lives. Sad! Many such cases.
wtf. why is the jewnited states so violent?
If you have someone on a Malaysian weaving forum that you're better than them, you're probably not
to tell someone*
My brain is faster than my typing
Glorification
The US had a serial killer "epidemic" on the latter part of the last century it died down after the media stopped giving them so much attention, it obviously isn't the only cause for mass shootings but it certainly is what inspires copycats and those who do it for attention
So because you claim to have better water and food nowhere in the U.S. can have good drinking water or food? You recently had a guy kill over twenty people was he importing his water from the U.S? You are honestly all weird fucks and the worst posters across all boards.
