Did race play a factor in the Kansas shooting?

6. Well, I do agree that understanding motive is important.

But to my mind, these shootings have one thing in common.

A man who is enraged, a man who feels powerless against whatever or whomever it might be, a man who has given up on having any control of anything in his life except the ability to kill innocents.

Eliot Rodger had a sexist motive, but in the end - he was still an enraged, powerless man who wanted to kill.

We cannot protect ourselves from the rage that causes these men who kill. We can't fix that.

And I despair that we cannot protect ourselves from the rampant gun culture that gives these enraged men an outlet for their lack of power. Sigh.
