This makes no sense especially when you realize many of the recent shootings weren't even tied to any person specifically they could have fought. Was this kid going to go fight the girl who rejected him? Who was Adam Lanza supposed to fight at Sandy Hook to keep him from shooting elementary kids?
Doing both is for notoriety. Beat up a bully you show everyone you won’t take any nonsense. The pressure gets taken off. For those too weak to win, they learn to make friends with someone who will. More socialization means they less likely to go postal. Never seen the head cheerleader or the captain of the football team shooting up a school.
When you get to the point you are ready to kill, you are just a powder keg, and I assume most afterwards have regret once the ramifications of their actions set set in on them. If they can fight at least we lower the pressure on the powder keg. Plus repeated fights = the kid might have some issues and needs some help dealing with pressure.
