WTF

So in the last three months or so there have been 4 separate mass shootings which is scary because they all have the same kind of feel to it.  Some guy (always a dude usually white or Asian) who is some kind of unmarried loner decides one day to get back at anybody who has ever wished him harm and proceeds to walk into some kind of public setting in the middle of the day fully armed and goes Rambo.
I'm not exactly sure what prompts all of this but honestly this is one of these things that somehow only seems to get worse as the economy takes a down turn.  

What actually annoys me the most about these situations is that the coward always takes himself out at the end.   See I'm a psychologist at heart and need to know what gets into people's heads to do this, why would they barricade in a school teaching immigrants to speak English and then go on a rampage taking out everybody in your path and then taking yourself along with it.  There is almost never a clear motive, very often the victims are selected at random and almost always it happens at a place where the gunman has some vague history which always seems to have had only a minimal influence in him.

First of all the murder is almost never of the people who may have provoked the guy but instead some delusions come over a guy that this is the way to get back at the world for all that's its wrongs like the psychopaths walks into who shot up the nursing home, the kid in VA Tech or this one in Binghamton.

I'm of the mentality that if you don't want to live you should go find yourself a tree and a rope somewhere in the woods and take yourself down, I don't even advocate jumping out of a building as there could be people walking underneath you.
