I think the premeditation makes the crime especially heinous.
Secondly, how is violence justified for "perceived offense"? If that were the case, then, it would be entirely justified to use violence against George Bush because of some "perceived offense" (for example).

I respectfully disagree.
This would mean that the massacre in Colombine was justified because the perpetrators (or victims depending on your perspective) were bullied and sought "revenge", to "teach them a lesson", to "right a wrong".
