As the title says, I want to know what the motives of some mass murderers were, in this case only for those who explicitly stated their motivations, regardless of whether the investigations have said otherwise.
For example, Euler Grandolpho said that his motive was Commite a "Big act", so that the state and the police will investigate him in depth and discover "the real responsables", since he thought he was being persecuted
Ian Long said that he did that because he was bored
Brandon Hole said that he did it because he wanted to have a afterlife with applejack
I know others but i don't wanna write it, other examples?
