And please save you stupid "typical Chicago" hot takes, Highland Park isn't even in Cook County. It's a wealthy, very Jewish North Shore suburb. Please engage the 48 hour rule if you don't want to sound like an idiot.
You know Ferris Bueller, and Home Alone, and Risky Business, and all the 80s John Hughes teen comedies? That's the Highland Park we're talking about here.

Sorry, in a society that is celebrating the fucked-up as desirable, this is what you get.
Seems to me there's there's a million reasons this can happen. We've blamed it on Muslims, white supremacists, computer gamers, gun owners, and now apparently it's trans folk.
Maybe pointing the finger at some group every time there's a tragedy like this isn't the best response?
At the very least, blaming a group we don't like doesn't seem to have improved things much as far as I can tell.

Look at the kid. Look at his videos.
He's fucked up.

Everybody who kills lots of people in a mass shooting is fucked up in one way or another - it's a prerequisite. The last school shooting was initially blamed on the guy being trans, except of course it turns out he wasn't. Somebody else immediately assumed the guy in Denmark was a Muslim, except of course he wasn't.

- Modern life is screwy in ways that are unique to our time. But like always, there exist toxic subcultures that do more harm to people than good. (No, I don't think transgenderism per se is a toxic subculture. But they do have their share of toxic participants, and any objective analysis would demonstrate that. You can say the same about Christian Fundamenalists or Muslims if you like, the point is the same.)
- Mass shootings are a social contagion. In the 1500s it was witch hunts. A hundred years later, it was the Dancing Plague. Today, we have mass shootings.
Without knowing the specifics, I feel comfortable saying this person probably suffers from both of the above.
