Angry white guys with guns.One police officer killed.
Of interest, Boulder, the home of Colorado University, is known as one of the top five most liberal communities in the country. They were clamoring to defund the police just a few months ago and were still pressing for that at the time of the shooting.

Working class jobs are disappearing, women are giving preference in school admissions, fellowships, and hiring, and young men are getting lost in the deep black hole of the dark side of the internet. People who used to get out and do things are sitting in the dark endlessly lost in the online video game world, pornography websites, conspiracy theory websites, radical news organizations, etc.
I would argue that technology has made us too socially distant (I'm not talking about Covid) from one another anymore. Gone are the days of checking on each other, community organizations, groups sports, being involved neighbors, sitting on the front porch chatting, you name it. Then, of course, is the obvious problem of unstable people having too much access to guns.
I really think that many young and middle-aged men are struggling to find value, purpose, and appreciation.
