Since no one wants to take a stab at why these mass shootings began in the mid 1960's, I will.

A book called, "America to pray? or Not to pray?", was written by David Barton. In the book he makes a correlation between the time prayer was taken out of public schools and the subsequent moral decline of America.
He show statistics indicating that such things as SAT scores dramatically declined, but undesirable things escalated, such as STD's, premarital sex, pregnacy rates to teenagers, increased numbers of female head of household, people living together, divorce rates, alcoholism, and violent crime. In fact, these mass shootings seem to have started right after God was taken out of the schools. Now really screwed up children think they can walk into a school, open fire, and then turn the gun on themselves and never have to give an account.
Why isn't God doing something about it...?
Who said he exists? So what is your explanation? I still await a response.
He reportedly had a fatal brain tumor.
An autopsy conducted upon the body of Charles Whitmanapproved by his fatherwas performed at the Cook Funeral Home on August 2. The autopsy discovered a glioblastoma (a highly aggressive and invariably fatal brain tumor) in the hypothalamus (the white matter located above the brain stem).[69] This tumor would have proven fatal by the end of the year in which Whitman died. Experts on the subsequently-convened "Connally Commission" concluded the tumor may have played a significant role in Whitman's actions on August 1. The document also stated that this lesion "conceivably could have contributed to his inability to control his emotions and actions."[18] Forensic investigators have theorized that the tumor may have been pressed against the nearby amygdalae regions of his brain. The amygdalae are known to effect on fight/flight responses. This has led some neurologists to speculate that his medical condition was in some way responsible for the attacks, in addition to his personal and social frames of reference.[70]
