Nature or nurture?
I see a pattern in many of these events, the apparently predictable and apparently unpredictable.
1 The upset person suffers two (or more) major traumas e.g. own or parent's divorce, moving home, bereavement, loss.
2 Alone/in gangs, they escape from problems into: a drawing, religion or video which portrays a battle and suggests a culprit to blame, a victim, and means of attack.
3 They commit suicide or attack their next of kin or both.
4 Or they attack somebody who they think insults them.
5 Or they attack everybody of the same type as the one they blame (another mother, redhead, Jew, white person, black person, redhead, policeman, teacher, member of football team, race, nation, person wearing a uniform, having the same hairstyle).
6 Or they attack through jealousy somebody who has what they just lost.
7 Or they 'kick the dog" - take it out on the nearest person who has nothing to do with their problem and could be trying to help them, hinder them, in the way, or simply nearby.
