I don't know the solution, but I think I have an idea of where to research the root causes. And maybe it can be crowdsourced. From what I understand, these types of violent outbursts come from a feeling of isolationism paired with mental health issues. These people see those around them as being part of "the problem" and flock to online communities that "understand them". These communities become cesspools of reinforcement of their twisted "solutions", and they lose all connection with the real world. To combat this, we need to get them some connections so they can get over that feeling of isolationism. Unfortunately, it's really hard to help someone who doesn't want help, so we need to be a bit tactful. This idea isn't really fleshed out, but here are some notes: - social app where people can identify individuals they are worried about - people get connected based on mutual concern, and each can share how closely they are related to the individual - these groups are paired with a certified psychologist who will act as a mentor for the group - the group finds ways to expand the support group of the target individual and find healthy outlets for that individual - if the target individual accepts counseling, the support group can help fund it I'm not a psychologist, so I'd need to discuss it with a few domain experts before trying to put this into production. That being said, there may be room to include gun stores and police into the mix to improve the ability of the community to prevent harm.
