I think that most of the modern day spree killers do so as revenge against incurred social injustices. Roger Elliott - Couldn't get laid, Columbine Kids - Bullied, Virginia Tech - lost GF, couldn't make friends, Sandy Hook - Couldn't get laid, James Homes - Probably pushed out (of his academic/social circle), dropped out, isolated, couldn't get laid... It's not that far out of a concept to act out against an oppressing force. Understandable IMHO. The prevailing/popular culture is so unessasarily obsessed with inclusion, anyone who isn't, basically becomes a social target. "You (the community) have wasted my life, therefore, I "have to" waste yours!" In other words; modern cultures are so fixated on damning others, they ultamilty damn themselves. Although, that dynamic can't be talked about because, it compromises the integrity of their philosophy. Which, is arguably the anticedent to the events. ~Matt 12:31

Franco "Bifo" Berardi wrote this really good book called "Heroes" which was about spree killers and mass shooters. It had a larger effect on me than anything else I read in 2016. He applied a lot of art theory to these mass killings, going so far as to think of them as a sort of performance art, while connecting them to prevailing themes in our current political ideology. He was associated with the Autonomous Marxism movement in Italy and heavily influenced by Deleuze and Guattari. <a href="https://www.versobooks.com/books/1746-heroes" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.versobooks.com/books/1746-heroes</a> Secondly, I'm a true crime junkie. I read Vincent Bugliosi's Helter Skelter in Jr. High and it was in no small part responsibile for inspiring my interest in the genre. Cults have always fascinated me..
