Obviously violence isn’t ever the answer but I’m just curious, when people go nuts and decide to take life and cause terror, what makes their decision to attack something like say a school or a church/mosque, a sporting event. As far as I see it in this day and age the biggest stressors in our society are corporations yet you never see someone say. “Yeah im gonna attack Amazon or HG wells”
Why is this? Why seemingly random places
Availability, and likely the difficulty in reaching the people that are the intended target.
As other people have mentioned, it does happen, but if someone “snaps”, they tend to have a fairly specific hate on, and a company is largely going to be about who runs the company rather than the workers, and those assholes are harder to reach.
With churches and schools, the target is more about a group of people being the obsession for the hate/anger/contempt/whatever. You can be relatively certain of killing or hurting muslims if you attack a mosque, christians at a church, etc.
If your assholery is targeted at specific people, you’re going to go after where you interact with those people, like schools or your own workplace.
Besides, you’re assuming rational thought is in play. That isn’t necessarily the case when someone is willing to kill strangers. It actually can be, or at least it’s in play with planning sometimes. Luckily, most of the jackasses that decide to spree kill or mass kill aren’t good planners, or at least aren’t good planners while they’re obsessed with whatever drives them to act.
I am still surprised that more of the idiots don’t go after businesses. You’d think that there would be more of them with beef against a company and lack any concern over who they hurt so that they target workers they can reach.
Both of those places are also more accessible compared to the nebulous Amazon warehouses and headquarters.
Most people would be able to easily find a religious site, or a public event. A warehouse is neither of those things, and might not need to be that easily accessible, as long as people can get there by road, or they can get deliveries in and out.
