And don't forget this. I won't go as far as to say this guy is MKUltra like Charlie Manson, Mark Chapman, Lee Harvey Oswald, or Sirhan Sirhan, but the hatred of gays, Raves, and the resemblence of Raves to the 60s by rednecks contributed to it.

Huff Targeted Ravers
Tuesday, July 18th, 2006
They didn’t want to believe it.
When crime bloggers, rightly or wrongly, turned up evidence that Kyle Huff, the Montana native who committed the second-worst single-day massacre in Seattle history on March 25, 2006, had actually targeted the Rave Scene in Seattle, many posters to message boards devoted to discussing the Rave culture there went ballistic.
But Kyle Huff most likely meant to do exactly what he did, and the people he killed were his chosen targets. Not the actual individuals—ravers, in general. Fellow crimebloggers like Jules Hammer and imahologram deserve apologies from the “promoter” types and others on that scene, who saw profits from Raves they would produce in the future going bye-bye if the idea that Kyle Huff actually targeted ravers was promulgated, and therefore attacked anyone who brought up the possibility. Likely some of the more vicious attacks Jules or Ima fielded from these assholes were based more in watching that promoter/producer/dj’s bottom line than a sense of wanting to protect the sensibilities of others in the scene. I’m sure we’ll all be skating in hell when such apologies come, but I had to say it.
Besides, the idiots who ran Jules, Ima, and others off the message boards were wrong in their own understanding of what happened anyway—the responsibility was never anyone’s but Kyle Huff’s. Anyone who blamed rave culture would have been wrong to do so. Though Huff targeted ravers, he did it for his own skewed, delusional reasons, and it is doubtful anyone could have seen him coming, anyway—including his twin brother, Kane.
Below is a link to the report issued by a panel of experts who looked into the Seattle massacre. The report was released on July 17, 2006:

Seattle police are piecing together a portrait of the man responsible for a shooting rampage that left six people dead at an all-night rave party over the weekend.
Those who know Aaron Kyle Huff have described the 28-year-old as kind, but police say his "premeditated and well planned assault on innocent people" indicate anything but a gentle nature.
Huff "approached the house shooting and didn't stop shooting"' until he committed suicide, said Seattle police spokesperson Sean Whitcomb.
Police said Huff carried a pistol grip 12-gauge shotgun, a handgun and about as much ammunition as one person could carry; he uttered "there's plenty for everyone" during his murderous rampage, according to police.
A search of his apartment reportedly turned up more ammunition -- including a grenade.
The question people are asking now is why.
Some of the partygoers were intoxicated, but Deputy Chief Clark Kimerer said there were no signs of significant drug use at the house.
Toxicology reports on Huff won't be available for several days, and a search of his apartment didn't turn up any notes or literature that might point to a motive.
The managers of the apartment complex, where Huff lived with his twin brother, said he moved to Seattle from Montana about five years ago.
"It's a total shock," Regina Gray, manager of Town & Country Apartments, told The Associated Press.
"He and his twin brother are the kindest, sweetest, gentlest people."
"I couldn't see them hurting a thing," added manager Gordon Gray in an interview with ABC. "They like to hunt, but other than that . . . they're not harmful."
Deputy Chief Clark Kimerer said people who saw Huff at the party before the attack described him as quiet, possibly even a bit moody, but not showing any indication he would turn violent.
Huff was not well known among the partygoers who dressed up for the weekend's all-night death-themed "zombie rave."
Police said the victims, many of them dressed up in black with white face paint, initially met Huff at a rave called "Better Off Undead" on Friday night.
They invited him back to a party at their rented home on Capitol Hill.
Huff reportedly left the residence at about 7 a.m. PT on Saturday and returned wearing bandoliers of ammunition, carrying the 2-gauge shotgun and a handgun.
He fired on the 30 young partygoers gathered in the house before walking out and killing himself when confronted by a police officer.
Authorities have not released the victims' identities, but relatives and friends of three victims, Jason Travers, 32, Jeremy Martin, 26, and Christopher Williamson, 21, confirmed that they were among the dead.
Huff's twin brother was questioned but was not involved in the incident.
