This is healthcare in general in the US (even with Obamacare). Poor folks aren't going to doctors for check ups/to check for cancer unless something is falling off.
Also the whole situation is about privilege. This kid was rich/was in a rich family and had everything given to him, but the one thing that he couldn't get without working for it, he goes on a killing spree. The same goes for the trench coat mafia and complaining about people not playing with them, and the kid at Virginia Tech mad he was an outcast. You're not going to find many people in poor neighborhoods doing shit like this even with a mental illness, because they have other problems/no delusions of the world being handed to them on a plate.
It's hard for me to compare this situation 1 to 1 with gang banging simply because gang banging has a purpose. If this guy had robbed the victims or was doing the killings as a member of a gang, then I would 100% agree with what you're saying. It would be better to compare this to Christopher Dorner, or Aaron Alexis, or the woman who got gunned down outside the white house with her kid in the car. While these people were labeled as having mental illnesses, I would be surprised if the media didn't throw around the word "thug", "terrorist", or some other inappropriate terms.
In the case of this killer though, people just want a reason for it and for something to target. It's easy to understand robbery and gang retaliation as a motive vs a rich kid killing a bunch of women because "girls wouldn't have sex with him". Plus the media isn't using it as a way to excuse the kid's behavior like in a court of law vs the continuing narrative for more mental health evaluations/gun control in the US.
