Sure it's easy to get up on moral high ground and detest the actions of someone who has grown so disenfranchised with the world that he believes that the only way to seek recourse is to take the lives of as many people as possible to highlight the depravity of the situation we all find ourselves in. What's really worse, picking up a gun and taking a stranger's life? Or feeling like you have no other choice? I think to understand the actions, if that's something you truly want to do, you must walk in the shoes of someone. In this case the shooter has tried to allow this to happen by releasing a manifesto explaining why he has done the things that he's done. I'd suggest people take a read before repeating headlines from the bbc.
