My Ride: 2008 550i sport
After every story I read like this, I always wish I had a psychologist that could explain to me what is going on in these people's heads. Particularly people who walk into buildings, kill a bunch of people and then kill themsleves. And moreso, people who do the same to their own husbands/wives/children. Do they have a sense of completeness or success before they pull the trigger? Are they insane? I just have no way to rationalize violence like this.

It is terribly sad that these things happen quite often and it certainly is sobering when it hits close to home. My condolences to the families of the victims. I only hope that every such occurrence brings us closer to resolving the core issues that breed these psychos.

Yes, it is not easy to wrap your head around something like this. I am not a psychologist, but I'm guessing that when these people squeeze the trigger one last time and blow their own brains out, they are filled with sadness and anger. These are probably the guys that were somehow overlooked, mistreated, misunderstood, shoved in the back of the line - for years and years. That probably built up on top of some kind of childhood drama(s) that defined their existence for a long time, but no one cared to take a closer look and recognize their pain.
It is terribly sad that these things happen quite often and it certainly is sobering when it hits close to home. My condolences to the families of the victims. I only hope that every such occurrence brings us closer to resolving the core issues that breed these psychos.
