There is a continuing thread among these "loners" that kill senselessly. They all seem to lack girlfriends! They are sexually deprived. They try for dates and are turned down. Women ignore them or don't take them seriously.
Beyond this, I really have no explanation. It fits most of the "massacres" that have occurred for the last 30 or so years. It isn't guns or political ideals. It isn't family difficulties. It isn't displeasure with the work place. Every one of them was sexually deprived!! All the other "reasons" are just excuses.

James Holmes murdered because nobody was his equal.
Had I been present and had the opportunity Mr. Holmes
would have had a single .357 bullet blow his brains out.
Most adults who were present understood the liberty of
bearing firearms comes with responsibility. Yet, they
presumed personal safety in absence of armed police.
Hello? Don't you know how many firearms there are in
private hands within the USA? How many of that sum
could be divided for every man, woman, and child? Yes,
Americans reside within an armed culture. We do so
with little regard to personal responsibility. You'll see it
in day-to-day driving conditions and demise of respect.
Lack of protection can kill in or outside public assembly.
