I would speculate that if the economy gets worse, recession, job losses, etc., more people might be in a position where they have nothing left to lose.

It’s been reported a lot that more people are reclusive and isolated, less relationships and people having kids. Sure people could just commit suicide, but some might want to go out with a bang.

Seems like we have the potential for this recipe or perfect storm. All depends on how bad things get in the future though. Bread and circuses.
