Most spree shooters are loners. They are either schizoid (with deficient interpersonal skills) or paranoid and even paranoidschizophrenic (psychotic, delusional). Their dysfunction is allpervasivetheir family life, career, romantic relationships, professional and material accomplishments are all adversely affected by their mental mayhem. They feel excluded and shunned and are profoundly ashamed of and frustrated with their inadequacies and with their sadistic, selfdestructive, suicidal, and selfdefeating "inner judge" (inner, introjected "voices" or narrative). This frustration builds up and results in pentup aggression which ultimately manifests as furious, uncontrollable rage. The typical spree shooter is in love with all things violentguns, the military, police work, virulent racism, and crime.
