Plenty of people are bullied/outcasts and they don't go out and shoot people. If this is the only way that they can deal with it then I have no sympathy for them at all.
If there are mental health issues then I am more sympathetic but it still doesn't make me feel sorry for a person who killed and injured ~20 , especially that they didn't know.

Obviously there are mental health issues. Healthy normal people don't go out and shoot a bunch of innocent people. For some sick strange reason, they've decided to resort to mass-killing a lot of people. They warrant sympathy and require help for that. That's similar to being angry at a deaf person because he can't hear what you're saying, or picking on an autistic kid for stuttering. Mental issues are lilke a disease; people don't grow up choosing to fire guns at innocent people and then die in the process.
