What makes people do things like this?

Yesterday, a man in Idaho started a fire. He then hid himself and took up a sniper position, and when the firefighters arrived, shot and killed two of them, and another one is in ICU in critical condition.
Law enforcement tracked him and found him, but he was dead. It isn't known yet if he died from a self-inflicted gunfight wound, etc.
Yes, it happened in Idaho, but it could happen anywhere. But for the love of God, WHY??? What do people hope to accomplish, doing things like this???

And he set the fire to get them there. How sick is that?

It happened in Rochester, New York in 2012 as well.
Why? Bruce Springsteen said in a song, “sir I guess there’s just a meanness in this world.” News reports said the firemen told the guy to move his car and he started the fire to get revenge on them. “I me my,” the theme song of humanity since Cain killed Abel.

Yes, there is meanness, you are right. I just don't understand how anyone can be this evil.

That man was out of his mind. He has a weird purpose why he did that arson.

He was not in his right mind but I wish he had just killed himself with no fire and no murder

Yes, it is. I often wonder, did they try to get help and failed? Were they treated, and it didn't work out somehow, or they didn't follow up? Were they given medication, but didn't take it, or it didn't work? Of course, we never know...but there seems to be more insane violent acts like this, and more and more people die because of it all.

I did read one news article that he had wanted to be a firefighter and wasn’t given the job.

I was wondering why Idaho was trending in the news. That's awful!
