    I think most people have too much to lose/too much on their shoulders.

    I have two kids and a spouse, if some bean counter at a health insurance company took one of them away I'd be beside myself with grief, but I'd also know that the other two needed me now more than ever. Can't go to prison.

    I think people with basically only one strong bond might be more likely to snap, but even for them depression and survival instincts probably make it hard to end up with adventurism.

        Are these being done by people with multiple strong family bonds or are they being done by incels with no partners or dependents.

        I also think that when it's not just "regular" violence that got out of control it tends to be someone who got radicalized by some kind of violent white supremacist ideology. It's not because someone actually being wronged so heavily that killing the people responsible felt like the move to them.
