Yes.
I believe that if a person was unstable, disturbed, and destructive, they would cause harm to the people closest to themselves, or even themselves. I would consider the kids who shoot up a school or kill their parents or friends to be on a smaller scale or extremist behavior. Although sometimes they relate to things and people like extreme violence or Hitler...they project these horrible feelings and actions to the people closest to them. I think this resembles the thugs who find a convenient outlet for their hatred and aggression.
On a larger scale, I believe people who bomb federal buildings, clinics etc really think they are following their religon, beliefs and what have you and their actions reflect what they think "they" deserve..."they" being the doctors in the clinics, the government workers in the federal buildings etc.
I would say more, but I need the change leftover from my 2 cents to get some lunch
