(10,061 posts)The question keeps coming up about a motive. To me its clear that the "motive" is to do what others have done as a way out. It's said that depression is anger turned inwards. And when it's turn out at matricide, there's no telling what will happen next. The die is cast.
I recall the first mass shooting in my experience coming from a campus in Texas with a gunman in a bell tower. It sticks with you in a really bad way. If it sticks with me, imagine how an angry and depressed, anti-social person would behave. Especially surrounded by a culture of violence living in a 24 hour news cycle world where there are plenty of reporters where there should be a time of respect.

In our society today, the NRA would rather we all kill ourselves than behave responsibly. That is really bad news.
