I don't think people just wake up one morning and they are "mentally ill homicidal maniacs" all of the sudden, it is a process over time influenced by many outside variables.
I believe people are predisposed to be a certain type of person and here are 2 examples:

1. A rich kid that has great parents and the best possible upbringing but has a need to try drugs and goes heavier and heavier until who knows what...

2. My own cousin, we both watched wrestling together as children. Every single time Hulk Hogan would come out my cousin would rip his shirt. Same as every time we watched the hulk ( green monster ) on tv he would cut open his pants to rip them. He later on went on to be impulsive and out of control. That was the way he was and ended up on the wrong side of the law and in jail due to bad decision over bad decision. I was sitting right next to him watching the same shows and never would have considered ripping any of my clothes.
