No need for agonised puzzlement. It's simple. Lanza was a psychopath. Many are. Difference is, he lived in a culture that glorifies guns.
@RichardDawkins also lived in a culture of hamburgers. Surely I don't need to tell you that correlation is not causation. Data please.

@oforero@RichardDawkins The moment you start talking about "purpose", you initiate charges of thought crime. This is disgusting. - Show replies
