Unfortunately, there have been so many mass casualty incidents that we are starting to see a response in the post-incident pattern. A typical reaction is trying to find the justification for these tragedies. How many times have we heard investigators say, “We are looking into the reason that this person would do this.”? A common theme of reporting is to try to affix the person’s rationale to the event. Even around the water cooler or on social media people will say, “I just can’t understand why someone would do something like this.”. Folks, if I can be as blunt as possible, I would like to weigh in on this discussion. There is NO REASON anyone should do this! None! There is no rationale that should lead someone to picking up a gun and killing several people. There is no reason a person should get in a car and drive other multiple pedestrians. There is no rational logic that would lead someone to plant a bomb in a place that would produce mass casualties. We can’t explain it
