All MOO. Historically, any society past tribal had problem with men reaching puberty. And any modern country does. There is a disconnect between the genetic program of early tribal men whose lifespan was 20 years (so the goals were, to feed the tribe via hunt, to protect the tribe via war and to make sex with as many women in possible for gene diversity). So teenage behavior defying social norms that we see nowadays is the remainder of that old program. We are still a very young species on the land, we just evolved due to a couple of interesting mutations. Old societies had structured ways to send out the most active/troublesome young people out (think, crusaders, or sea travels, etc). Nowadays, life has changed more than people. What to do with them? There are few organized structures except for the army, and they help. I think channeling energy into athletics helps too. Definitely not sitting at the computer alone with one’s thoughts. Again, pure JMO.
We don't know for sure, but I suspect it's a combination of misogyny and narcissism. Violent video games don't turn someone into a murderer. Seeing violence in their household or being abused could play a factor. Obviously not everyone who is abused becomes an abuser or murderer, but may contribute to someone doing this. Or he could just be a psychopath who doesn't have empathy. I do think America has a giant problem with young males and violence though. Too many kill people because they don't know how to process their emotions or deal with their lives. It's hard to understand.
