In the second part of Banking For Good, we return to Kenneth L. Shropshire, Senior Advisor to the Dean for the Wharton Coalition for Equity and Opportunity, who finishes his discussion with Priscilla Sims Brown, president and CEO of Amalgamated Bank. Brown says banks can be a force for good in the community by flagging suspicious purchases like a card used to buy guns in multiple states.  

The mass shootings that continue to plague our country call for drastic measures, contends author and psychoanalyst Gerald Schoenewolf, but they don't involve confiscating guns or preventing law-abiding citizens from owning guns.As of Oct. 26, the U.S. has had at least 565 mass shootings so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive – or about two mass shootings a day.Those numbers came out a day after a deranged U.S. Army reservist killed at least 18 people at a bowling alley and bar in Lewiston, Maine. According to officials, the suspect, Robert Card, 40, believed that people, even members of his own family, were out to get him and were calling him a pedophile. Mental illness is at the heart of many of these killing events, Dr. Schoenewolf and other experts contend, and so they say steps aimed at dealing with those issues are what's needed.On the Lean to the Left podcast, Dr. Schoenewolf, the author of "The Mass Killer: Six Case Histories that Tell Us Why," contends that troubled family issues often are what results in such shootings and he advocates some controversial steps to deal with them, including:Requiring all couples who want to have children to first obtain a license from the federal government.Requiring all couples to undergo training to help them raise their children.Requiring all interest groups that are advocating for specific political actions to register and obtain permission from the government.The problem in the U.S., he says, is not the proliferation and availability of guns, but rather the fact that many of the perpetrators of such shootings come from troubled families in which they were mistreated during their childhood."Most of these mass killers had early traumas, in the first few years of life," he says, adding that the "divided culture" that exists today serves to compound those problems,"When you have a divided culture in which the liberals and conservatives are always fighting, everyone suffers too, because there's constant restlessness," Dr. Schoenewolf says on the podcast. "In the country and all kinds of other things that are happening and more violence is happening all the time. People get angry because they're driving on the highway and they lose it, and they start killing each other because they're following too close behind the other car. Somebody goes up to a door and knocks at the wrong door, and they get shot through the door. People are restless today and quick to violence."Dr. Schoenewolf points out that a barber needs a license to cut hair and if you want to go fishing, you need a fishing license. But there are no such requirements for one of the most complicated acts that an individual can undergo -- raising children."iI parents had to be licensed, you'd have, you'd be able to weed out, say, schizophrenic parents or borderlines, or bipolars, psychopaths. You'd be able to weed out parents who are not going to be able to have healthy children. And you'd, and you also could have parent training," he says.So the government would decide who could and could not have children? "I think the state would have to have special centers for child rearing where children who were taken away from their parents would be raised by experts who would be trained in how to raise children," he explains."These are radical solutions, but we have a radical situation in our country. Desperate times call for desperate measures," says Dr. Schoenewolf, who is the author of 30 books, including 14 on psychology and philosophy and nine novels.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4719048/advertisement

After mass shootings, one refrain becomes, “We don't need gun control to treat a mental health problem.” But in a case like the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, there were mental health interventions and red flags raised by the military and the shooter's family.

 In the midst of yet another harrowing mass shooting in the United States, a daunting question emerges: How did we get here, allowing individuals with glaring warning signs to slip through the cracks of a seemingly robust system? The recent tragedy in Maine, with its bewildering series of red flags and missed opportunities, prompts a profound exploration into the state of mental health care, firearms, and society's complicity in perpetuating this cycle of violence.    The discussion opens with the grim acknowledgment of the pervasive problem of mass shootings in America. Host Tony Brueski's somber observation that the nation might have witnessed several more such incidents by the time of the conversation strikes a disheartening chord. The focus swiftly turns to the Maine shooting, a heinous act that has left the nation grappling with grief.    Rather than delving into the elusive motives of such crimes, the conversation centers on the systemic failures that led to this particular tragedy. The shooter in question exhibited an alarming pattern of behavior, replete with red flags that should have deterred him from owning firearms. The extent of the individual's instability was evident from his threats against a National Guard base, his two-week stay in a mental health facility during the summer, and his mention of hearing voices. Despite these warning signs, he retained access to his arsenal, allowing him to commit unspeakable acts of violence.    The legal perspective is introduced through the commentary of Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor. Rahmani emphasizes the global bewilderment at America's permissive approach to firearms, particularly the ubiquitous AR-15, which has become synonymous with mass shootings. The absence of an assault weapons ban, both federally and in states like Maine, leaves many questioning the necessity of such weaponry in civilian hands.    Tony Brueski broaches the issue of the shooter's continued possession of firearms in the face of documented mental health struggles. He raises pertinent questions about the voluntary nature of relinquishing weapons and the existing laws in Maine governing such cases. The lingering query centers on the absurdity of allowing someone with a troubled history and specialist firearm training to maintain access to lethal weaponry.    Neama Rahmani acknowledges the complexity of the issue, touching upon the powerful gun lobby and the deeply ingrained Second Amendment rights that shape America's firearms landscape. The conversation reveals the delicate balance between preserving individual freedoms and addressing the dire need for stricter firearm regulations.    The dialogue raises a fundamental concern that extends beyond firearms and mental health care. It underscores the societal complacency that tolerates these recurring tragedies. Tony Brueski provocatively posits whether, as a society, we have become "a little bit crazy" ourselves for permitting this cycle of violence to persist.    Neama Rahmani echoes the sentiment, acknowledging the political and judicial challenges inherent in addressing this multifaceted issue. The conversation traverses the well-trodden path of gun control debates, revealing the impasse that seems insurmountable in the face of powerful interest groups and deeply ingrained ideologies.    The discussion ultimately leaves readers with a lingering question: Are we bound to continue this disheartening cycle of violence and despair, or can we, as a society, find the resolve and the common ground necessary to bridge the gaps in our safety net? The tragedy in Maine serves as a stark reminder that lives hang in the balance, and it is imperative that we collectively seek solutions to prevent further loss Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

This is a special presentation of TOP OF MIND WITH JULIE ROSE which is about "becoming better citizens, kinder neighbors and more effective advocates." Here are the show notes on this episode from our friends at TOP OF MIND:   About 45,000 Americans died from gun violence in 2022. A similar number died the year before. About half of those deaths are gun suicides. The other half are gun homicides. Mass shootings tend to capture the most attention and outrage, but they're just a small fraction of the total number of gun deaths each year. How can we reduce gun violence in America? Reducing the number of firearms in the country might help, but significant gun control laws seem unlikely in today's current political climate. In this podcast episode, we hear the stories of a violence interrupter, a suicide prevention and gun safety advocate, and a mass shooting researcher to help us feel more hopeful about America's gun violence problem.

About 16 million Americans – or about 1 in 20 U.S. adults – own at least one AR-15, making it the best-selling rifle in the United States. It's also among the most lethal: ten of the 17 deadliest U.S. mass shootings in the last decade have involved AR-15s, according to “American Icon,” a new investigation by the Washington Post. We talk about why the AR-15, originally designed as a lightweight combat weapon, has risen to mass market dominance over the last two decades and why it's remained free from congressional scrutiny.

EPISODE 134: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: We are owned by guns, and our only way out is Economic Civil War. Why does this supposedly sophisticated nation abide the ritual sacrifice of our children to insane gun owners? Because it makes other people millions of dollars. And when we cross a milestone where one of the Michigan State student-survivors is also a Sandy Hook survivor and at least three of them are also Oxford High student-survivors, we must attack the Gun Lobby, the Death Lobby, the Republican Death Party, and the Red States that harbor these terrorists with the only weapon they fear: Money. The Blue States keep the Red Ones from going bankrupt tomorrow and starving by next week. Let's use it. We must force our Blue State governments to stop contributing money to the Federal Government unless the Red States meet our demands about guns, the disproportionate House and Senate that codifies it, and the bought-and-sold Supreme Court that protects it. The Red States survive on State-to-State Socialism and you know how they hate Socialism. And the constitutional basis for an Economic Civil War? Why, the 2nd Amendment. After all, we are trying to protect "the security of a free State," aren't we?

Too frequently, the captions flash across the lower third of the television screen: another mass shooting; more innocent lives cut short. The debate in the following days follows a well-worn script of hopeless resignation and incensed outrage. But Mark Follman says there are techniques and methods already in use that successfully prevent mass shootings. Follman is the national affairs editor of Mother Jones Magazine, a publication that promotes “Smart, Fearless Journalism.” His main journalistic focus since 2012 has been gun violence and mass shootings. He has written several in-depth investigative pieces on child gun deaths, mass shootings and the impact of gun violence on the economy, all of which have received a myriad of awards and acclaim. Follman also created one of the first mass shooting databases on Mother Jones, cataloging mass shootings in the United States from 1982-2022. His work has been featured in The Atlantic, The New York Times and on National Public Radio. In April of this year, Follman published “Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America.” His book chronicles the specialized teams that have been working toward the prevention of Mass shootings in the United States. “Trigger Points” has received rave reviews and gives hope to the despairing reality of mass shootings.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Americans have become accustomed to tragic headlines of mass shootings in schools, grocery stores and other public places – these shootings still shock, but they no longer surprise. Jillian Peterson, PhD, of Hamline University, talks about research on what drives most mass shooters, why thinking of mass shootings as suicides as well as homicides can suggest new ways to combat them, and what can be done in schools, workplaces and elsewhere to make the next mass shooting less likely.   Links   Jillian Peterson, PhD   Speaking of Psychology Home Page

The senators behind a bipartisan gun legislation proposal hope to have the framework ready for a vote by next week. The outline has the support of 10 Democrats and 10 Republicans – enough to put it over the line for Senate approval. But the current outline is vague – and no price tags are attached. It's unclear whether hammering out the details will lead to a drop in Republican support. For now, the proposal plans to ramp up funding for state red-flag laws, mental health resources, and more school security. Meanwhile, Republicans are pushing for "hardening schools."We talk to experts about what that involves and whether it would prevent shootings. Want to support 1A?

"An engrossing and surprisingly hopeful look at the field of behavioral threat assessment and how it is being used to prevent mass shootings.... [This book offers] an optimistic take on one of America's most distressing problems." -- Publishers Weekly

Ryan Gorman hosts an iHeartRadio nationwide special featuring Head of Advisory Services at Hopelab Fred Dillon. Fred discusses a new digital tool for LGBTQ+ teen mental health and well-being. Mark Follman, author of Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America, also checks in to discuss his research and reporting on strategies to prevent mass shootings.

Mark Follman's TRIGGER POINTS: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America is the first-ever account going inside the world of behavioral threat assessment, a groundbreaking method for successfully preventing mass shootings. Follman gained exclusive access to leaders of the FBI's elite Behavioral Analysis Unit and top mental health experts who pioneered the field, and he immersed in confidential threat-assessment programs nationwide. Mark can lend insight to this tragedy and offer some hope and information on prevention and how we can stop these kind of shootings from happening. Mark had a piece last weekend in the Los Angeles Times. And the previous weekend he had a piece in the Wall Street Journal, specifically about school shootings, detailing all kinds of warning signs that precede virtually all mass shootings. These attacks can be stopped before they happen.

Follman gained exclusive access to leaders of the FBI's elite Behavioral Analysis Unit and top mental health experts who pioneered the field, and he immersed in confidential threat-assessment programs nationwide. Mark can lend insight to this tragedy and offer some hope and information on prevention and how we can stop these kind of shootings from happening. Mark had a piece last weekend in the Los Angeles Times. And the previous weekend he had a piece in the Wall Street Journal, specifically about school shootings, detailing all kinds of warning signs that precede virtually all mass shootings.

***TRIGGER WARNING. THIS IS AN EMOTIONAL AND SENSITIVE TOPIC*** There have been over 20 mass shootings since the mass shooting in Uvalde Texas. Every time I hop on Twitter I see videos and read posts about another shooting that happened or a shooting that was prevented. For the everyday civilian there is not a reason to have a gun. Most people wake up, go to work, go home, watch tv and repeat. Tatum suggest that we do a gun buy pack program and make the process for getting a gun stricter. We do more to get a driver's license than we do to get a gun. Change must happen now!!!

In this episode 16 of Streets and Scholars with Alex Alonso and Frank "FG" Thornton... Eric Holder's trial has begun today. Three years after being accused of killing Nipsey Hussle, they are in the beginning stages of jury selection and this process will hopefully last no more than 2 days, so by next Monday morning attorneys for both sides will present their opening statements. Tytyana Miller, 29, the daughter of rap mogul Master P has passed away after dealing with drug dependency. The family has not publicly said what has caused her death but it looks like a possible overdose. Jose Viera, a correctional officer with the Bureau of Prison (BOP) has plead guilty to raping a female inmate and is looking at 10 years in prison.  And lastly, mass shootings in 2022 are in the rise, 10 killed in Buffalo, New York in what was a racial attack against black residents at their local supermarket. The shooter, Payton Gendron, 18, was taken into custody without incident. And in Uvalde, Texas, shooter Salvado Ramos, 18, shot his grandparent and then went to Robb Elementary School and killed 19 students and 2 teachers. And the local police in Uvalde did not enter the school for an 1 hour, and it wasn't until federal officers of the US Customs and Border Patrol arrived that the shooter was stopped and killed. Alex & FG conclude that there really isn't any system that can stop a citizen form committing a mass shooting and thats another FIRE episode of Streets & Scholars.    * Streets & Scholars Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/streets.and.scholars  * Street TV channel: http://www.youtube.com/streetgangs * Alex on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/alexalonso101  * FG Unleashed: https://www.youtube.com/c/FGUNLEASHED * FG on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fgeneral1/ * StreetGangs website: http://www.streetgangs.com

Mark Follman is a longtime journalist and the National Affairs Editor for Mother Jones. Since 2012, when he created a first-of-its-kind public database of mass shootings, his various investigations into gun violence have been honored with numerous awards. His new book is "Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America."

Mass shootings are a part of life in the United States. Some make national headlines, like the killing of elementary school children in Uvalde, or the targeted killing of Black people in a supermarket in Buffalo. But Americans are not able to reach a grand consensus on what to do about it, and conservatives are steering the conversation away from guns and towards mental healthcare. Host Steve Clemons speaks with Anthony Barksdale, the former acting police commissioner of Baltimore, and researcher Mark Follman, author of Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America.

Mother Jones national affairs editor Mark Follman has studied mass shootings in America for much of the past decade. He says a growing number of mental health experts, educators and law enforcement leaders are engaged in the emerging field of behavioral threat assessment. They study the psychology and behavior of past mass shooters, interviewing many in prison. They then train local personnel to look for those patterns at schools or workplaces, and intervene to get troubled people help before they turn to violence. The approach raises privacy questions, but its advocates believe it's already been effective in preventing tragedies.

Award-winning journalist Mark Follman joins Jess to talk about his new book TRIGGER POINTS: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America. ABOUT MARK FOLLMANMark Follman is a longtime journalist and the National Affairs Editor for Mother Jones. Since 2012, his various investigations into gun violence and its impact on American society have been honored with numerous awards. His writing and commentary have been featured in the New York Times, the Atlantic, and on National Public Radio, among other media.ABOUT TRIGGER POINTSFor the first time, a story about the specialized teams of forensic psychologists, FBI agents, and other experts who are successfully stopping mass shootings—a hopeful, myth-busting narrative built on new details of infamous attacks, never-before-told accounts from perpetrators and survivors, and real-time immersion in confidential threat cases, casting a whole new light on how to solve a grievous problemIt's time to go beyond all the thoughts and prayers, misguided blame on mental illness, and dug-in disputes over the Second Amendment. Through meticulous reporting and panoramic storytelling, award-winning journalist Mark Follman chronicles the decades-long search for identifiable profiles of mass shooters and brings readers inside a groundbreaking method for preventing devastating attacks. The emerging field of behavioral threat assessment, with its synergy of mental health and law enforcement expertise, focuses on circumstances and behaviors leading up to planned acts of violence—warning signs that offer a chance for constructive intervention before it's too late.Beginning with the pioneering study in the late 1970s of "criminally insane" assassins and the stalking behaviors discovered after the murder of John Lennon and the shooting of Ronald Reagan in the early 1980s, Follman traces how the field of behavioral threat assessment first grew out of Secret Service investigations and FBI serial-killer hunting. Soon to be revolutionized after the tragedies at Columbine and Virginia Tech, and expanded further after Sandy Hook and Parkland, the method is used increasingly today to thwart attacks brewing within American communities.As Follman examines threat-assessment work throughout the country, he goes inside the FBI's elite Behavioral Analysis Unit and immerses in an Oregon school district's innovative violence-prevention program, the first such comprehensive system to prioritize helping kids and avoid relying on punitive measures. With its focus squarely on progress, the story delves into consequential tragedies and others averted, revealing the dangers of cultural misunderstanding and media sensationalism along the way. Ultimately, Follman shows how the nation could adopt the techniques of behavioral threat assessment more broadly, with powerful potential to save lives.Eight years in the making, Trigger Points illuminates a way forward at a time when the failure to prevent mass shootings has never been more costly—and the prospects for stopping them never more promising.

Month after month, year after year mass shootings continue to take place in America, traumatizing communities all across the country and fueling the bitter, seemingly intractable debate over gun control. But amid the horror and the hopelessness, largely hidden from public view, teams of people within law enforcement and mental health circles have been quietly working for decades now to develop new methods to identify possible shooters and to intervene before an attack ever takes place. How far could this work really go toward stemming the tide of violence? It's a question taken on by journalist Mark Follman in his new book, "Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America." He joins this edition of KCBS In Depth to lay out what he's found.  Host:Keith Menconi

The rising incidence of mass shootings confronts the nation with an unrelenting public safety emergency. The assumed responsibility for these devastating attacks falls on failures to address the mental health crisis or enact policy to restrict access to weapons. In addition, critics say media sensationalism exacerbates the social and cultural upheaval surrounding the aftermath. However, redirection of our focus from misguided blame to the emerging field of behavioral threat assessment might provide the remedy to an enduring epidemic. In his new book Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America, San Francisco-based award-winning journalist and editor Mark Follman details the discovery of a breakthrough in threat prevention. He identifies the "warning behaviors" that signal a mass shooter and provides an insider account of the search for a revolutionary method for thwarting deadly attacks. Through interviews with threat assessment practitioners, defendants in insanity cases, and victims of attacks, Follman creates an insightful and comprehensive narrative of the story toward progress. Join us as Follman takes us deeper into his 8-year project and how behavioral threat assessment is forging the race to stop planned acts of violence ahead.

After the latest two tragedies, many lawmakers are being pressured to do something to help stop the senseless violence taking the lives of so many.  While measures like expanded background checks and assault rifle bans are harder to sell, “red-flag” laws often have bipartisan support, but do they stop mass shootings?  Jon Schuppe, reporter for NBC News Digital, joins us to discuss how they work.

In the aftermath of mass shootings in the United States, like Sunday evening's Las Vegas tragedy that killed at least 58 people and wounded over 500, a debate often emerges about how to prevent such incidents from occurring again. Part of that heated and longstanding gun-control battle is the question of whether technology can make guns safer. And they can—but not in a way that can prevent many of the country's most high profile attacks.
