I've already answered your question. I guess you just want to hear what you want to hear. sorry.
 
It does seem that it's most, if not all, males who commit the mass killings of strangers or acquaintances. Female murderers seem to prefer more personal killing, as in either murdering family members, romantic rivals, or boyfriends, or committing serial rather than mass murders.

The one possible exception that I can recall off the top of my head is:

Beslan school hostage crisis

That would include politically motivated killings.
 
What Chuck Connors said about The Rifleman:

"on his Lucas McCain character] Lucas was a righteous character, despite all the violence. We had the benefit of the father-son relationship, so I could have a little scene at the end of the show where I would explain to Mark, essentially, that sometimes violence is necessary, but it isn't good. And there was a lot of violence on "The Rifleman" (1958). We once figured out that I killed on the average of two and a half people per show. That's a lot of violence, but it was always covered by the scene with the little boy. And he would say, in essence, "Gee, you won Pa". And I would say, "Wait a minute son. You never win when you kill someone. It demeans you, it takes something away. People have got to learn to do away with violence and guns, and to love each other". And the viewers would forget the fact that I had killed three people during the show, because of the tender epilogue with Mark [Johnny's favorite scenes]. The warm father-son relationship was the heart of the program, and not only did we perform it, but Johnny and I became very close friends.

[About the character he was best-known for] I can never get rid of "The Rifleman" (1958), and I don't want to. It's a good image. Basically, [the show] was the simplicity of the love between the father and the son. That was the foundation. The rifle was for show, but the relationship was for real. There was some violence, but at the end, I would explain to the boy that the violence was not something we wanted to do, but had to do.

[In 1992, about being typecasted because of "The Rifleman" (1958)] If you're ever being typecasted--as most of us are-- that's a great way to be typecasted. So, "The Rifleman" is still popular with a lot of people, and I'm proud to be associated."

I know. I'm sure it wasn't intended to be like that back then. I am ashamed to be in this generation where we have gotten too... crass :lol:

I wonder if Arnold Schwarzenegger copied that one-handed reloading move for his T2 movie... :hmm:

:dunno:

Chuck Connors was a pro baseball player before acting. He was 6'6" tall, and ambidextrous.

Do you know that's been debunked as proof, even by the gay community? I don't know why you brought up gossip.

Personally, when I want to know something about someone I don't view pornography as a source of information.
 
Whoa I lost track of this one! I brought up the Rifleman show because it is locked in my mind forever bam bam bam bam What I wanted to be was that guy firing that gun. I did not give the slightest bit of a damn about the deep father son relationship and who was good and who was bad.
I was a shallow little guy maybe more shallow than most for all I know.
I actually did develop into quite the young historian. The history of humanity is one of mindboggling atrocity of men butchering up other men women and children. After you plow through a lot of large piles of books on the subject it pretty clear that as a gender and as a gender half of a species we are pretty much a wild kind of disaster.

I was fully on board with being a part of it too. Right up until the revelation hit me one morning as I was waking up to go be me out there
on the construction site. "I am the problem". "I am a man and I am the problem" Whoa. I was not eager to sort that out. In fact I am still not. Here I am sharing an intensely personal revelation that happened to me.
Somehow we do all this stuff and somehow we don't get that it is us doing it.
