This looks to me like a male decided he has a right to grab whatever female he desires and if she resists then he's within his right to feel cheated.  This is a multi-faceted issue with political figures and Hollywod itself constantly promoting the idea that sociopathic actions get the girl.  We are a very angry culture and we romanticize the notions of fighting, shooting, and getting revenge when we've been "wronged" or when we decide we are under attack and need to "defend" ourselves.  This doesn't seem very fame-driven to me.  This is one of those "you get out what you put in" sort of situations and our society fills the heads of the populace with non-stop insanity via real and fictitious media and then makes sure we're over-armed just to sweeten the pot.

Just my take.  

This.

The same crowd that say we can't blame guns insists we can pigeon hole these guys into all being mentally ill, bullied, etc.

There's no one reason and there's no one answer.
