Answer 1

They reverted back to being animalistic in their attitudes to death of other human beings and always substituted some reason for doing what they did in their own minds ~~

Answer 2

You should really do research on these people. There's still a major question about Lee Harvey Oswald and Seung-Hui Cho.

Is there a different motivation for political shootings?

Have you ever known a shooter, personally? What motivated him? Was it different than a political shooter?

Do your own damned homework!

Answer 3

I think that some of your list is crazy, some of them are martyrs, and some of them had an agenda. However, I think that it has been proven time over and over that there is no way that Oswald could have killed JFK.
There is a reason that filed was sealed for 75 years. It sure wasnt to protect a killer of a president, it was sealed to protect a conspiracy.

Answer 4

They probably each had a different reason. My friend's young brother died in a Florida prison. He was convicted of murder, but had gone on a killing spree from California to Florida. I saw him the day before, at lunch at my friend's house, and he seemed normal and happy. Nobody, including the kid, seems to know why he actually killed seven people. And, some were killed for money, some for other reasons, he said.

Answer 5

in my opinion those are all loners guys who didn't have any or many friends in school, were always picked on embarrased, never had a girlfriend or if they did they probably use to beat them, so if you are in Highschool don't ignore some guy who tries to talk to you he might just turn out to be the next serial killer.

Answer 6

Despite how genius they were,they were all obsessed in illusionary victories. As everyone strives for the same goal of attaining happiness, so many get trapped in the means for the ends. In your examples here, they employed the wrong means to attain a grander end.

Answer 7

My first answer to this question is a question, why did you place this under the "arts" section, why not social? To now answer your question, some people have that mental state which makes them go crazy. Actually, we all have that, but some people just o not know how to control it.

Answer 8

Each one's motives were said to be different. Read the books on the various cases.
