All speculation aside, we may never have all the answers. There is certain senselessness to violent

acts that often cannot be explained.

As people in our modern society, we expect pat solutions, like; he was sick, or he got picked on, or it was the drugs.

Our tv shows provide problems and solutions in their half hour or one hour time frames. All the loose ends are tied up, neat and clean and on to the next problem.

Life is much more complicated and unknowable. So it goes.

Often these people do not think in rational terms and may be psychopathic. To understand or "get" a crazy persons logic, you would need to be crazy yourself.

...a film about a couple of Russians going medieval on a bunch of innocent people for fun and profit. Crazy shit. Probably didn't do very well because the bad guys weren't brown enough.
