(19,497 posts)136. If law enforcement were a magic panacea it could interdict the rampage killers before they act.
After all, the number of individuals within our national population of 330,000,000 who are liable to such actions can't possibly number more than a half dozen or so at any given time.

All rampage killers are dead-enders. They continue until killed, wounded or commit suicide.
