Does it's style support these lunatic's assumption that they're at war with the world? === I seriously doubt that the appearance of the weapon provides any inspiration or motivation. I think the primary motivation for most of these senseless killings is a suicidal death wish coupled with a desire for 15 minutes of media fame/noteriety. That desire for notoriety may also be coupled with a revenge motive for real or imagined misdeeds against them, an alienation from society in general. The fame thing does make you wonder. But, what is "fame" if you are already dead by your own hand? === Some sort of perverse "legacy" fame is what I would conjecture. Yeah, and in some of these cases like the Movie Theater shooter I can see it, he sprayed everything trying to make chaos... This guy in CT was different. He was not thinking of "chaos", he was thinking straight up killing one, then the next, then the next... With an average of 3-11 shots into each child and each and every one, dead. He stayed on each child until he was sure they were dead and moved on to the next. In a "chaos" situation, I think it would be more likely some of the kids might have survived as he moved along quickly to create as much chaos as possible over as wide an area as possible... I liken this kid to a knife attack. A few pokes means he wanted to murder you, 15 stab wounds says he hates you and is in a rage... |
