Basically what the kids at columbine did.  They got the idea, and planned it out for a while, and eventually executed it.  It's quite normal for it to be planned.  The planning phase makes them feel a little better in itself.  It's like when people escalate into serial killers.

Did they write a manifesto about their political ideals for society, start their own terrorist chain with recruits in several countries, and plan further attakcs, including the assassionation of politcal leaders and bombing of nuclear powerplants? The guy even planned to purchase weapons of mass destruction. He essentially wants to start a "revolution". This is much more than a lunatic that goes off killing people.

Considering they were kids were were against bullying.  No.

Though connections to terrorist groups and manifestos are not uncommon.

And your missing the point that a revolution is EXACTLY what a spree killer wants.

They want to kill people overthrow society and prove to themselves that they aren't powerless and can make a change in society.

Hence why they all pretty much believe "I'll be thanked by later generations."

They see their actions as the starting point and the breaking point of a revolution against those viewed as keeping them down.

Couldn't this be extended then to any revolution?
