The reason why there are so many shootings that have not been explained in the film

I feel that America is a place where many different people live together, with different beliefs, religions, races, and customs. So people can't be like Canadians without locking their doors all day and don't worry, because they (Canada) are the same kind of people, so they trust each other.

Americans always distrust and even resist people who are not of the same kind, so they will easily shoot at people who seem to have bad intentions. In fact, this (the reason for the high number of shootings) has nothing to do with the history of violence in the United States, the media, the innate criminal tendency of people of different races, etc.

In fact, the movie "Crash" discusses this phenomenon.

"Columbine School Shooting" is a typical example of that group of disadvantaged groups "accumulating grievances and revenge".

    The shocking history is being peeled off layer by layer of forgetful people, do you remember?

    Polarization, racial discrimination, self-defense, sharp social conflicts, lack of government credibility, money first... China doesn't know how much scarier than the United States is. If we could have guns, events like Columbine would happen every day, at least every week. But do any of us dare to be like Moore, obsessed with asking why to this deformed society?

Bowling for Columbine quotes

  • Michael Moore: Our children get turned into little monsters, but who's to blame?

  • Michael Moore: How many people are killed by guns each year? In Germany; 381. In France; 255. In Canada; 165. In the United Kingdom; 68. In Australia; 65. In Japan; 39. In the United States; 11,127.

    Father of Columbine victim: But that, to me, brings up an important question; then what is so different about Americans? Are we homicidal in nature? Because in Europe and Australia... Most other free-world countries they don't have this. They don't have people who snap and go on murderous rampages.

    Michael Moore: Well no, they're just like us. I mean, they have the occasional person that snaps and kills a lot of people. How about a British soccer riot? Those aren't Quakers there...

    Father of Columbine victim: Every time that I bring up comparisons with other free-world countries, what I hear is; "Oh, our culture is so different. We're so different". And as you said, they have violent video games, they have violent movies, they have alienated youth... They, like us, don't have prayer in schools. What is so radically different? What is it about us?

    Michael Moore: What is it?
