We've had nuts forever but the 'look at me/I'll show you' mass murder deal is fairly recent.
In our current society, instead of 72 virgins these nuts think that they get a date (or an MTV show) with "Snookie."

Fame and the quest for fame has polluted our society to such an extent - that it not lost on the mentally unstable.

This same quest for fame may drive our politicians and news agencies to make outlandish statements with respect to these murders.
