The only reason this wasn't a thousand times worse was than

As indicated in another post I made on this topic, one of
the mandated check list items that a FEDERAL agency, under
the terrorism statutes >>should<< be investigating is any
connection to end-of-the-world cults. What happened to the
reported perp that escaped in Newtown? Was this yet another
example of the low factual standards of American reporting &
media?
The reason a Federal agency must be involved is that local
law enforcement lacks the resources, skill and knowledge
(and in too many cases the will) to conduct an adequate, in
depth investigation, and in many cases locals are involved
if only through omission, e.g. had the perp been to social
services/ERs/area or school medical providers complaining of
severe or persistent head aches, black outs or voices saying
"mean things?"
We have no data (but excessive amounts of perceptions and
impressions), and are operating entirely on urban myth and
legend. While it is most likely futile, here is a proposal
I sent to my Congressional representatives for an concrete
action plan that just *MAY* accomplish something if any
attention is paid to the findings of the proposed "Incident
Investigation Board." A major concern is the enormous and
rapid shift to ultra high population density mega urban
areas by a majority of people in all parts of the world.
This is totally new and some humans may not be able to adapt
to these novel circumstances.

Apparent increase in incidents of mass murder in the United
States.

and too many others...
The reason for this letter is that it is clear no effective
actions have been or are being taken to identify, quantify
or ameliorate this apparently [rapidly] increasing NATIONAL
“problem.” It is thus up to Congress to enact legislation
to force the accountable authorities to collect and preserve
all relevant evidence, and to force the accountable
authorities to conduct “boards of inquiry” or inquests ==>on
the NTSB model<==, using the best available statistical
techniques and subject matter experts, backed with the
threat of criminal law with sever organizational and
individual sanctions including heavy fines, and in repeat or
egregious cases, individual prison terms. A criminal trial,
with full Constitutional safeguards, will still be required
to adjudicate guilt including auxiliary crimes such as
illegal weapons sales.
The first step in remedying any problem is to identify the
problem rather than simply compiling a laundry list of
symptoms. Indeed in this context, there are most likely
several problems, and one of the least productive procedures
is to continue to rely on what “everyone knows,” and “they
say.”
What is suggested is that by Federal law any incident
involving the murder or apparent murder of more than 5
individuals [revise number as desired], including the
presumed perpetrator if they are deceased, is automatically
a Federal crime under the Terrorism statutes, and the
following prescribed protocol for the mandatory collection
and preservation of evidence, including chain of custody, is
imposed on the immediate responders [local law enforcement]
and the designated Federal agency, which should act as
primarily as a central information clearing house and
repository, and provide expedited/emergency physical
evidence testing and data search capabilities.
1. Blood, saliva, urine, nasal swab, and hair samples shall
be taken as quickly as possible after arrest from all
apprehended individuals, dead or alive for
expedited/priority testing for known and unknown substances
including but not limited to legal and street drugs, heavy
metals, and unusual concentrations [high or low] of normal
constituents. A variety of tests should be used to insure
any “substances of interest” are detected, and a neutron
activation analysis of the hair samples should be conducted
to detect drug/substance abuse in the recent past. It will
be the responsibility of the first responders/local law
enforcement to collect and preserve these samples, using
local medical facilities/personnel. A protocol may need to
be detailed such as keeping the blood and other samples
refrigerated and uncontaminated, e.g. the actions of the
detective that carried around the test vial of O. J.
Simpson's blood for several hours in his pocket.

2. As soon as practicable, a CAT scan should be performed
on any arrested perpetrators or their recovered bodies
[unless they died of a head wound, in which case an autopsy
would be required], and they should be tested for
neurological diseases, such as tertiary syphilis, known to
produce irrational behavior.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Whitman#Autopsy_and_burial
<snip>
An autopsy conducted upon the body of Charles
Whitman—approved by his father—was performed at the Cook
Funeral Home on August 2. The autopsy discovered a
glioblastoma (a highly aggressive and invariably fatal brain
tumor) in the hypothalamus (the white matter located above
the brain stem). This tumor would have proven fatal by the
end of the year in which Whitman died. Experts on the
subsequently-convened "Connally Commission" concluded the
tumor may have played a significant role in Whitman's
actions on August 1. The document also stated that this
lesion "conceivably could have contributed to his inability
to control his emotions and actions."
<snip>
3. As soon as the identity of the presumed perpetrators is
established, the state authorities, who will have the
required record access, can search medical, psychological
and pharmaceutical records, and these records or certified
copies can be seized under emergency public safety warrants
or exigent circumstances. These records may not be
admissible in a criminal trial, but the concern at this
point is public safety, not criminal liability. Certified
copies of local law enforcement and social services data
including arrests, convictions, field interrogation notes,
social service referrals, mental health commitments, etc.
should also be included in the growing data base. The
responsible Federal agency should be on scene by this time,
and should enter and cross reference this information,
particularly looking for drug interactions, and physical
symptoms such as frequent and severe headaches or blackouts
among other items.
4. The responsible Federal investigative agency should also
extract or have extracted data such as military service
records, international travel [ICE entry/exits], NCIC
criminal records, BATF firearm purchase
approvals/rejections (with reasons), TSA no-fly tags (with
reasons), etc. and should consolidate/cross index this data.
5. With the data consolidated and reviewed, more than
likely other areas of interest will be discovered such as
membership in or close association with groups, gangs, or
cults/sects. These groups must be “vetted,” and if known
or suspected to be antisocial, their records, membership
lists and bank accounts/financial records seized under
emergency public safety warrants or exigent circumstances,
and the relevant data entered into the data base. Local law
enforcement will prove to be critical in local
investigations, but if “foot dragging” or other obfuscation
by local law enforcement is detected/suspected because of
possible local involvement/culpability such as medical
malpractice (e.g. KKK investigations in the old south),
federal investigation will be required, and some federal
investigations should occur in any event as a “quality
control” or cross check.
6. A detailed and in depth psychological analysis on any
perps captured alive, and postmortem psychological profile
and analysis should be performed ASAP using recognized and
qualified authorities and instruments/protocols including
but not limited to psychologists, psychiatrists, and
criminal profilers. This psych eval should be updated as
new information becomes available during the investigation,
with the intention of developing a predictive instrument for
mental specialists, as in far too many cases the perps had
rationally sought medical/psychological/social help and were
“shined off.” Copycat incidents are also a concern, and
efforts should be made to identify individuals particularly
susceptible, and suggested ameliorative/preventative
measures, such as a prohibition on watching violent movies
or playing violent video games, much as an alcoholic can be
prohibited by court order from patronizing bars, purchasing
alcohol or driving.
7. The key step is the required convening of an “Incident
Investigation Board” to evaluate the totality of the
available evidence collected in steps 1-6, with subpoena
power to compel the production of additional documents/data
and testimony under oath, with the objective of determining
exactly what occurred, why it occurred, proximate causes,
chain of causality, contributing factors, and suggested
ameliorative actions. It will be critical that a wide
variety of subject matter experts such as
statisticians/actuaries, forensic psychiatrists, NIMH/CDC
representatives (novel drugs or drug interactions), medical
doctors with experience in head injuries and PTSD,
ethnographers, sociologists, anthropologists, and
demographers, among many academic specialties be included in
addition to law enforcement/legal representatives and
specialists such as criminal profilers.
In my opinion the worst case conclusions of the IIB would
be:
I. There is a new designer drug (or new food additive) loose
on the streets, possibly with accidental contamination or
variation, which produces uncontrollable murderous rage with
unimpaired cognitive/planning functions in some susceptible
users in the manner of the legendary Norse berserkers, in
which case the only effect of a total firearms ban would be
to change the weapons used; and/or

http://www.businessinsider.com/another-slasher-runs-amok-in-china-school-2012-12
II. One or more moon-bat crazy domestic doomsday cults have
formed, with the objective of mass murder to promote the
arrival of the “end of days.” In this particular case, even
an absolute prohibition of firearms will have no effect,
e.g. the sarin gas attacks on the Tokyo subways.

III. An increasing fraction of the human race is being
forced into residence in massive ultra high [population]
density urban environments and are unable to cope.

Calling each other rude names is accomplishing nothing.
It would also be useful to form an international team or
working group to compare/correlate data from other
countries/societies/cultures, as the U.S. is not unique in
this phenomena, which seems to be increasing world wide.
