U.S. Secret Service Report on Mass Shootings…2016-2020 - issues of retaliation based on perception - history of physical violence - pass examples of threatening & intimidating behavior. https://bit.ly/3kIO4pp #AskFelixNater #WorkplaceViolencePrevention
Jules F. in my incident assessment services performed as a 3rd party investigator the Secret Service Report is spot on. I found retaliation based on perception frequently between employees and managers who alleged unfairness in assignments, promotions, opportunities and friendship. The saying “if it walked like a duck, quacked like a duck, it was a duck” was associated with the history of prior violence adjudicated and resolved under last chance agreements. Often times recipients of such oppprtunities couldn not contain their predilection for violence. Past examples of threatening & intimidating behaviors always were indicators of future behavior. So true.

Wow, Felix. That is eye opening and truly concerning.
To read this report is to gain a deeper understanding into the mindset of the attackers. Attackers who may very well be our employee, our student, teacher, patient, spouse. It forces the question of what are workplaces and educational institutions doing about violence prevention? The obvious is neither understood or recognized as problematic. What makes someone go over the edge? A few years ago a college student called me to share her emotional predicament. Being told that the final grade to her class would be predicated on the submission of their report by a specified dated. She was aware that failure meant not graduating in May. She approached the professor to request an extension that was given due to a family funeral. The report was hand delivered to the professor herself. She was told that class grades would be posted for all to see. Upon her return her name did not appear as a passing grade. The professor did not remember the conversation. In a fit of anger she told me she felt like killing him but knew the consequences. The level head person prevailed.
