Can't people just commit suicide anymore?
 
I don't understand why people feel the need to go on rampages before they kill themselves. Invariably its some loser at a high school or some disgruntled worker who is fed up with his job. Rather than getting counseling or just killing themselves they decide that taking 5 or 10 people with them would somehow make the situation better. And after he goes through with the intricately planned rampage he blows his head off. I know suicide is tragic but why are so many jagoffs compounding the tragedy by going on a murder spree before they kill themselves?

They probably just want to get revenge or be remembered for something. They think: "Hey, no matter what I do, there won't be any concequences, because I'm going to shoot myself in the head." "I might as well not waste the oppurtunity."

Many also feel bloodlust before self destruction.

Yeah, they might as well kill someone or break something valuable and gthink, "It doesn't matter, I'll die anyway."

Heres something- Why don't they kill themselves beforehand? One less idiototic maniac. Kill themselves, in the comfort of their own repective homes! Who needs to leave the house and kill people when you can experience the finale without the bit in the middle?

Murder suicide is rather cowardly. It just shows that people take the quick and really easy way out instead of having consiquences(sp?).
