Glen Argan: Violence breeds in a world of indifference

Flowers and signs are seen at the Botanic Gardens in Christchurch, New Zealand, in a makeshift memorial March 18, 2019. Such memorials and prayer services could be found across the country and abroad after two mosque attacks in Christchurch, New Zealand, March 15 that left at least 50 people dead and 20 seriously injured.

The mirage that mass shootings — such as the massacre of 50 Muslims at prayer in Christchurch, New Zealand — are isolated incidents long ago vaporized. While mass killings are performed by deranged individuals whose behaviour falls well outside social norms, they are societal phenomena with societal roots.
