Disaffection and violence

As I write this, Fox News Channel is trying to point out that today's shooting at the Holocaust Museum could have been done by anybody, regardless of political affiliation.

That is, of course, hogwash, pure and simple. FNC is revealing itself to be somewhere to the right of any reasonable, viable point on the political spectrum. But it is also, inadvertantly, raising an interesting point.

I remember reading, when I was in the anti-Vietnam War movement, that disaffection and violence are very closely connected. Can anybody think of sources where I might have read that, or any more contemporary sources for the same information?

I'll join in the discussion (assuming there is a discussion) later. Right now I'm a little upset.
