They have malicious intent but they are not guided by outside motivations, just their own internal demons.

Its how we do things, perhaps its part of our culture, but you could just claim all the american ones are copy cats too.

A lone gunman armed with a high-powered rifle is accused of going on a shooting spree that killed 32 people at and around the popular Tasmanian park. Martin Bryant fled a burning bed and breakfast cottage Monday morning where three people he'd held hostage burned to death. He was burned over much of his body, and remained hospitalized Saturday. He has been charged with one murder.

A gunman shot dead three people and seriously injured another during a morning of bloodshed at his former school and workplace near Munich.
Commandos sealed off the school in the town of Freising as the 20-year-old man detonated two home-made bombs inside.

Finnish school shooting: self-loathing goes global
In declaring ‘war against humanity’, might 18-year-old Pekka-Eric Auvinen have been doing his bit to save the planet?
It strikes me that Pekka-Eric Auvinen, who has been named as the Finnish school shooter who yesterday killed his headmistress, seven fellow pupils and then himself, may have been acting out this cultural script.

Same shit, same planet. Shootings before suicide seems to be the new way to get attention.
