I think there is considerable question as to whether or not these ppl are
"mentally ill".

There's an interesting documentary available (streaming on Netflix)
called Gone Postal. It talks about the increase and rise of this
unfortunate phenomena in a straighforward and logical manner. More
ppl go off their nut due to anger, frustration, feelings of
helplessness, and marginalization, than actual mental defect. How
many times have perfectly sane everyday ppl said of a jerk boss, they
wouldn't miss 'im if (s)he got hit by a bus. Well, some ppl eventually
go find themselves a bus! Like one fellow puts it, "You corner an
animal and it will come out fighting".
