Denver Shooting

[Capitaine Vengeur]

Notice that this dreadful news happens almost exactly one year after the terrorist attacks around Oslo, 22 July 2011. In both cases, we have a cold-blooded murderer who seems to be an intelligent man, smart, vicious, able to handle explosives in order to fix and disorganize the intervention teams following a careful planning, very organized in his ultimate goal to make as many victims as possible, and who, contrary to the disorganized aggressors at Columbine for example, has planned and managed to survive to his bloody rampage. In both cases, this intelligent man, so efficient in acting in and on the true world, is actually completely disconnected from it, only living through his own schemes, plots, and imaginary conspiracies. A locked and loaded crusader unleashed against a peaceful world. Compared to the armed morons of Columbine, this new style of mass murderers I find really, really scaring...

Frying him wont bring his victims back

 

Nope, but harvesting him will help others live.

It's not that they "planned to survive" so much as they didn't try to get themselves killed. They weren't suicidal, while the Columbine ones obviously were and had no intention of surviving. If the authorities show up once the killing is over, and the killer doesn't threaten the police, there's no reason they won't capture them instead of just kill them.

 

As for the question of "crazy" or not, I would submit that unlike some dope who shoots a clerk robbing a store or a bank in the heat of the moment, there is NO justification for mass murder that makes sense. To do that you must be insane on some level, because one of the definitions of insanity is being unable to distinguish right from wrong...and under what rational line of reasoning is killing dozens of innocents "right"?

 

And before you ask, yes, I think these fundamentalists who go around killing and blowing themselves up because some other schmuck told them "God wills it" are also crazy.
