Plato vs. Lanza: disturbed adolescent males
1. Both Plato and Lanza lived in upper middle class houses/neighborhoods.
2. Both came from broken homes.
3. Both lived with their mother.
4. Both used guns stolen from their mother.
5. Both had mothers whom had a need to protect themselves with deadly firearms (possibly for defense from abusive ex-husbands).
6. Both targeted the innocent and defenseless (Plato shot puppies, Lanza shot kids).
7. Both saw suicide as their only option in the end. (Plato's suicide by cop, Lanza kills himself.)
8. Both were social outcasts in high school.
9. Both were loners outside of high school with no friends.
10. Both had poor fashion sense (LOL). (Plato wore red and blue socks, Lanza always wore the same green shirt and khaki pants.)
"We deal in lead, friend."
