Malcolm Gladwell addresses the tide of school shootings as well. His thesis is that this is a version of riot behavior spread over time and space. I suspect this piece and Dowd’s earlier piece actually work together to some extent, as Dowd’s would provide an important communications element. Gladwell doesn’t suggest, however, that these are just sexually deprived young men.
