The problem lies with a society that takes pride in individuality/freedom, but is a culture of sheep pooping on the grass it eats.

So the problem is human nature in general? Stuff like this has happened throughout history and in all kinds of cultures. I mean the direct comparison of China and the US having similar incidents recently with two highly divergent cultures.

No the issue is that the vast majority of people are fairly decent, just want to get through the day, have some fun, maybe do some good, and a vast minority have major issues and no idea how to cope with them and go nuts and do things like blow up buildings, or kill everyone around them, or decide that someone with different levels of skin pigmentation aren't people.

You can call people sheep because they mostly focused on themselves and hence don't want to spend the energy worrying/caring/doing anything about other issues, but prideful individuals doesn't have a ton to do with it either, because societies that focus less on the individual and more on the community/religion/state/family still have shit like this happen.
