Fair enough.

What contention? That they're murderous first? I would say the thousands of suicides that are suicides alone is great evidence of that. The suicidal mass murderer would be such an insignificant percentage that you can't automatically combine the two. Put another way, most suicides aren't prempted by murder let alone multiple murder and if you include serial killers and war criminals I'd say most mass murderers aren't really suicidal (don't have data just using a common sense approach here).
That's all for me, drifting off topic of the OP...
