I believe in 99% cases Not. They know what they are doing where to get weapons-Training-Funding only sane people can do that and everything associated for the completion of designated mission objectives.

Do all mentally unstable people end up in US killing people and being labelled mentally retard but not Terrorists; by the logic 9/11 was done by sadistic mentally retards why did US take action.

Yeah, it's strange. The Columbine kids were in fact domestic terrorists in regards to their ulterior motives--who cares if they were crazy? Terrorists ARE crazy.

However, we do have some labelled domestic terrorists. Timothy McVeigh, for one.

September 30, 1988 - Hyderabad, Sindh. At 7:30 PM bands of local Sindhis sped through the Pakistani city of Hyderabad and opened fire on crowded street markets, movie houses and bus stops. They even attacked a wedding party. The massacre claimed the lives of at least 160 Mohajirs, a people who immigrated to Pakistan after India was partitioned in 1947.

Note: other sources claim around 300 people were killed.

These killers are called Spree Killers. Different from Serial Killers. Most of them are psychopaths with violent tendencies since childhood. Bad environment like exposure to violent movies and games , child abuse or mocking by others make them go over the edge.

There is events called "trigger" that make them decide to finally commit the crime. Some plan way ahead, some are spontaneous.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the general definition of spree killer is a person (or more than one person) who commits two or more murders without a cooling-off period; the lack of a cooling-off period marking the difference between a spree killer and a serial killer.

In "Controversial issues in criminology" it is stated that "The element of time involved between murderous acts is primary in the differentiation of serial, mass, and spree murderers", later elaborating that spree killers "will engage in the killing acts for days or weeks" while the "methods of murder and types of victims vary".

Most of them have no political goals or any wider agenda.

This differentiate them from other types of criminals.

i wonder if someone is mentally challenged can find gun so easily to go on shooting rampage?And one who knows to operate and fire gun can be regarded as mentally challenged. instead he in all his senses knew what he has been doing.

Will you call a person say an educated one who has never laid his hands on a gun and ask him to operate one as mentally challenged ?

Case is clear all shooters know what they are doing when on rampage..........how about A normal person under the influence of drug who goes on shooting rampage????is he a normal person or mentally challenged.

Its not the same kind of crime that are listed above. They are hate crimes, targets were just Mohajirs.
 
. .
It's still mass murder, no? Because I see the Sikh Temple shooting in OP.
Mass murder, yes. But done by single person, Wade Michael Page.

I think I used hate crime at wrong place at just one place. Most of them are hate crimes. The Mohajirs' killing was done by a mob. Kindly see the post I made about spree killers.
