Again, the only complete way to avoid "ragers" is the show no emotion and avoid giving your opinions or ideas or beliefs about anything. You could say you're an atheist with complete civility, calmness, and a smile on your face, and there would still be people who would want to kill you just for saying that, not because you were mean when you said it. I'll bet if i publicly said "I don't like the Beatles", no matter how nicely, somewhere out there there is a person that would kill me for saying that.
Plus, I can't imagine every single person that was shot, or shot at, at that paper pissed him off individually. I'll bet some were, or would have been, completely nice to the guy. So here, being a nice person did shit for them.
The last restaurant that was shot up had no interaction with the shooter, right? The Vegas shooting, total strangers. In the words of the ancient sage Garfield, "Shit happens."
