"Sometimes people can be part of a whole that transcends themselves as individuals."
Leaving the fake mysticism aside....
The possible rage vendetta against all four might be better understood by looking at the motive from the perspective of having a vendetta against "the house". Another poster (wish I could give credit by name) raised this possible motive where "the house" is targeted:
- Victims live in a "party house" and host alot of informal social gatherings and full on parties.
- Somebody is then "uninvited" from a social gathering as he makes one of the females residents, or another female guest uncomfortable.
- This is extremely humiliating for him. Perhaps he viewed his expected welcomed presence to be his opportunity to connect with attractive, socially confident women with out being rejected- again. Perhaps his ego expects to be welcomed everywhere by all.
- Rage builds. Maybe it was a house resident who wanted him gone, maybe it was a house resident (male) who booted him out. Or, maybe a guest was uncomfortable, but.... a resident or two of the house affirmed his kick out.
But in the end, it was the gathering / party that stood against him. And, that the focal point of the gathering / party is The House- even if not all the residents were present at his humiliation. He then attacks the home wanting to harm say, one resident in particular, but also wants to harm the house as a whole.
Interesting provoking thoughts, I can only attempt to put myself in the shoes of the perp in an attempt to understand.
Rage would take time, against a type or a lifestyle could have begun years prior to the connection to these four, making this less personal to these specific victims and more a bout people like them?
Going Down in a blaze of glory with the act of destruction as a statement or mission?
- describes the mindset of school shooter, mass murderer?
- a focus on the act, not on the escape
- suicide, surrender, caught quickly
- eager to take credit, have their name attached to the act, fame in death
Survival- Not going down with the act of destruction, a long term statement of a serial killer or a single act?
- equal focus on the act and the escape
- escape in the night, no name recognition, Yet
- two different lives? hiding in plain sight?
I don’t know
