Pseudocommando
Pseudocommando
A category of mass murderers
In forensic psychiatry, a pseudocommando is a mass murderer who commits premeditated murder–suicide mass killings driven by revenge fantasies,[1][2] typically involving the stockpiling of weapons followed by a heavily armed commando-style attack.[3][4]
They typically see their actions through a narcissistic lens as being morally justified in revenge against their unfair treatment by an uncaring world, and wish to "go out in a blaze of glory".[5]
Some observers have divided mass killers into three categories: pseudocommandos, family annihilators, and hit-and-run killers.[6][7]
