He was a scumbag with no moral compass but I'd argue that he was deranged, under-socialized, un-educated, and impressionable and we need to examine these factors to find out the motivations of people who want to harm society this way.
Many profiles I've read point to his religious upbringing and being home-schooled as contributing to his personality, detachment, and lack of empathy.
Obviously this is only one case and there are many more instances that point to the contrary but really think it's highly important for people to be educated in the broader school system and to be raised with their peers if we are going to form a cohesive society.
