    1-It all goes to motive. Anyone with a similar motive may attack. The whole copycat theory is questionable IMO.

    2-School shootings are usually the result of bullying. The Austin incident was the result of Government policies. The Method.....Terrorism was used in both cases.

    3-The video I posted of the guy who bulldozed his house because of Bank and IRS problems has the same motive as Joe Stack, his method is exactly the same, but his target (opportunity) was slightly different.

    4-That is why motive is so impoertant. Just like War if you want to prevent it or end it, sooner or later you must address the motvie.
