I disagree, with rare exceptions, I believe that all (most) of these assholes seek help or discuss their intentions with others before committing to act. Problem is no one is listening or understands the significance of the threat. None of these "random" attacks take place in a vacuum of absolute secrecy. At least not in my research of past events.

Someone almost always knows something but fails to act on it.
