SURVIVORS
One Universal-Emotional Leakage
“None of them ‘just snapped.’ They all followed a pathway to violence. They didn't materialize out of the blue as monsters; they became monsters over time, meeting well-established milestones of monstrosity. And most of them didn't even bother keeping their intentions very secret.”
http://www.esquire.com/features/mass-shooters-1014
Suspect told a friend he was going to “shoot up a college campus in 7 days”. One week later, 9 people were killed at church in South Carolina

WHY DON’T WE SPEAK UP?Thought they were joking
Don’t want to appear paranoid
Don’t want to be labeled a rat
Afraid to challenge people
Feel supervisor or professor should report it
Feel they should mind their own business
Fear of being accused of blowing things out of proportion
Fear of confrontation
Conflict & confidentiality – “No one will trust me”
Disbelief that it is happening http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7374873n
