Bah. There are 100 reasons why someone goes on a rampage and kills people. Distraught over break-up. Small kid tired of getting beat up. Fat kid tired of being made fun of. Kid doesn't like Mondays. Adolescents/teens are great big balls of emotional angst.

If I hand an AK to someone who has snuck out of a mental ward and he runs into food court and starts shooting up a mall are you going to wonder why he did it? Maybe if our culture wasn't so MTV/Americanized he wouldn't have done it?
