Triggered

1. A temporary aggressive state of mind of a person or populace that was induced by current events or actions that person associates to a traumatic incident in their past.

2. A sequence of violent or catastrophic events initiated by an initial "triggering" action.

An allusion to the mechanical operation of a gun. Where as a firearm trigger is used and the operator of the gun bares the responsibility for the outcome. The "triggered" persons that carry out damage takes on the roll of the inanimate firearm. Responsibility is generally deferred onto the person who pulled the trigger, knowingly or otherwise.

This includes an inherit abdication of personal accountability for one's aggressive state onto the person or event who commited the triggering incident or original traumatic experience.

1. Jill threw dishes at Dave. She was triggered when Dave mentioned going to get a pail of water. Jill's brother Jack died getting a pail of water.
2. The incident triggered an armed clash.
3. Marie Antoinette's flippant remark triggered a revolt.
