#1 I really believe the guy was simply miserable, had serious emotional issues. People had noticed him acting out in public against his wife.

My opinion via a comment late yesterday I made on a post here is since he had never done this before so he brought all of these weapons in as a security blanket. He possibly expected a huge fire fight with the police. However, he most likely had quite a few drinks before firing away on the crowd below. Now on an emotional roller coaster and drunk I think he decided to go ahead and commit suicide before being incapacitated by a police round and didn't want to survive to face the wrath of a nation. And maybe having a personal goal of out doing his biological father who was on the FBI's nation's 10 most wanted list.

Who can ever comprehend the mind of mass murderers? Like the kid at Sandy Hook, the two kids at Columbine, or Islamists who fly jet airliners full of people into sky scrapers full of people, or the NK leader who strapped people onto anti-aircraft guns and wants to Nuke his neighbors? Unfortunately they will always be with us and we will always have to keep that in the back of our minds wherever we go.

#2 Re the mass-murdering lunatics I worry about...

The leftist, in terrible temper
("The worst event I can remember!"),
Forgets, in his misery,
The long-suppressed history
That's called, in Chicago, "September."
