Copycats are motivated by the same thing as the originals, I guess, and just see someone who did it "successfully". (My source is I made it the fuck up)
I've heard it convincingly argued mass shooters are people that a few decades ago would have become serial killers. This is just a new, easier way to kill a bunch of people and feel powerful.
Don't know if it's true but I saw this docu arguing that serial killers can have or typically have multiple personality disorder. It's like they have their innocent self which is unaware of the crazy one that protects them but it also acts out what they experienced growing up.
Or maybe they are just dicks but this is something that I can at least understand.
The existence of that one is controversial, even.
