Because it violates the will of another, breaks the social contract, creates pain for the surviving loved ones and tears at the fabric of a functioning society.
How'd I do? Better than "duh, cus big invisible sky daddy sez not to."?
You can't violate without having a freedom to choose. Baking soda doesn't choose to react with vinegar. That's called chemistry, which is what you believe you are. The will of another is unimportant in an evolution worldview. No one is under your arbitrary "social contract" and obligated to obey whatever you say. No pain no gain, right? Why would you love random mutations from pond scum? Any other society can arbitrarily assert the opposite.
At least you tried.
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.
