More To The Story: The shocking assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk last week was part of a wider, horrific trend: the rise of political violence in America. But Kirk's murder also seemed to reveal something even darker. Before a suspect was found—when facts were scarce—the race for political retribution was already well underway. This week, Utah prosecutors charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson with seven counts related to Kirk's death, including aggravated murder. The charging documents say Robinson described Kirk as someone who “spreads too much hate.” According to prosecutors, Robinson's mother told investigators her son had started to lean to the left politically and that he was “becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented.” She said her son was in a relationship with his roommate, and that the roommate was transitioning. Prosecutors also released a text exchange between Robinson and that roommate shortly after Kirk's death, in which Robinson confesses to the crime. On this week's episode of More To The Story, Mother Jones National Affairs Editor Mark Follman examines America's spiraling political discourse, why early explanations of motive in gun violence incidents are almost always misguided, and why the Trump administration is cutting federal funding for programs meant to prevent violent incidents like Kirk's assassination.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al Letson Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Read: Trump Prepares to Wipe Out Years of Progress on Gun Violence (Mother Jones)Listen: Lessons From a Mass Shooter's Mother (Reveal)Read: Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America (Dey Street Books)Watch and read: No, Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way (Mother Jones) Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Why do mass shootings occur? Trigger Points author Mark Follman explains warning signs, behavioral assessment, and how to stop attacks before they happen.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1140What We Discuss with Mark Follman:Mass shootings are not random events, but involve a "pathway to violence" where perpetrators plan their attacks over time, showing warning signs that create opportunities for intervention.Mental illness is not the primary cause of mass shootings. While mental health issues may be present, perpetrators are typically making deliberate choices driven by factors like anger, isolation, and perceived grievances rather than psychosis.Many mass shooters seek notoriety and are influenced by previous attackers through emulation behavior — they want to transform from nobody to somebody through violence and media attention.Warning signs that appear before attacks often include threatening communications, research/planning behaviors, significant life stressors, and social isolation — but these must be evaluated collectively rather than as a checklist.Behavioral threat assessment teams offer an effective prevention approach by bringing together mental health professionals, law enforcement, and educators to identify at-risk individuals and provide constructive interventions like counseling, education support, and family involvement — showing that these tragedies can be prevented with the right collaborative approach.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

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.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

 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?

According to the Gun Violence Archive, in 2023 alone, there have now been more than 200 mass shootings in America.Author and journalist Mark Follman details the work of psychologists, FBI agents, and others working in the field of behavioral threat assessment who are working to stop mass shootings before they happen in the book "Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America." During this podcast, Follman reveals the ways in which some mass shootings have been prevented. He takes us to a community that is successfully employing the lessons learned over decades of mass shootings in America to make their schools and community less susceptible to mass shootings.

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. Podcast Guests: DeQuann Stanley, Outreach Supervisor at Save Our Streets, Crown Heights, Brooklyn Erin Dunkerly, trial attorney in California, advocate for suicide prevention Mark Follman, National Affairs Editor at Mother Jones.

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?

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?

Journalist Mark Follman joins Nick Austin to discuss his new book, "Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America." Follman talks about how threat assessment teams are already working to intervene when it appears like someone may commit mass violence.

He was recently featured on NPR where he discussed behavioral patterns of people who carry out mass shootings, and commented specifically on the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas.Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America

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."

In the past two weeks the nation has borne witness to the tragedy of two mass shootings. In Uvalde, Texas, a gunman killed 19 students and their two teachers inside a fourth grade classroom at Robb Elementary School. At least 17 were wounded. In Buffalo, New York, a man is accused of shooting and killing 10 members of the Black community who were shopping at Tops supermarket. In a long internet screed, he wrote about how online racist ideology and white supremacist conspiracy theories fueled his violence. Witnessing the aftermath of these horrific acts leaves us wondering, once again, what can be done to identify the warning signs of those who plan to commit mass violence—before it's too late?We speak with Joanna Schroeder about ways to protect young people from being indoctrinated into violent white supremacist groups. Schroeder chronicles her sons' exposure to content from online racist hate groups and how she intervened. In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

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. Follman's new book is Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America.Ken Tucker reviews Bonnie Raitt's new album, Just Like That...

Author and journalist Mark Follman details the work of psychologists, FBI agents, and others working in the field of behavioral threat assessment who are working to stop mass shootings before they happen in the new book "Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America." During this podcast, Follman reveals the ways in which some mass shootings have been prevented. He takes us to a community that is successfully employing the lessons learned over decades of mass shootings in America to make their schools and community less susceptible to mass shootings. Follman also talks about what will be required to scale these programs across the U.S.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

(4/14/2022) Join us when Award-winning journalist Mark Follman examines his book TRIGGER POINTS: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America. Mark 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, including a leading model created for K-12 schools after Columbine. Follman says, it's time to go beyond all the thoughts and prayers, misguided blame on mental illness, and dug-in disputes over the Second Amendment. 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 in order to identify warning signs that offer a chance for constructive intervention before it's too late.

We all cringe when we see or hear of another mass shooting in the world. We feel helpless. We wonder whether anything could have been done to prevent it and we worry about whether another mass shooting is on the horizon. On this episode, we'll explore what can be done to prevent mass shootings. Joining us is journalist Mark Follman, National Affairs Editor for Mother Jones and the author of the new book, "TRIGGER POINTS: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America." His book is described as “the first-ever account of a groundbreaking method for successfully preventing mass shootings”. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
