IMO gun violence in the US has been normalized to the point where a large % of people (including some of the shooters) are almost detached from it. Watching the Louis Theroux episode on gun violence in Milwaukee that seemed pretty clear to me - strangers just firing at other strangers standing on the street for no reason at all, like it's the equivalent of smacking someone with a trout in an IRC chat client.
