The Highland shooter's manifesto video can be found

[skip fox]

at Crooks and Liars for now.

it consists of his open, young voice reading a voice-over script about his mental state with videos of a geometric sign over crude animations flashing amid photos.

I don't know how long it will stay up, but it's worth contemplation.

My grandchildren (9-12) made a video this summer which was innocent, beautiful, and funny. And then I see the derangement of a 22 year old. The fact that his voice is that of a child, at least a young adolescent, makes it all the worse.

Thinking long thoughts . . .

1. I saw it earlier today

Clearly a very disturbed young man.

2. Do you have a link?

How do they know it's him?

4. I do have the link, but don't want DU mad at me.

Just google "Crooks and Liars." They are a safe and worthwhile progressive site. You have my word.

3. "it's worth contemplation."

Why?

[skip fox]

6. In a metaphysical sense: such horror in such a vacuous youth.

It remains worth mine at any rate.

5. If anyone *has* already watched it and wants to give a two sentence summary, it would save

the rest of us, which would be appreciated...

7. I'm with you, I can't.

[WarGamer]

10. Not much there...

Says he's a "sleepwalker" and feels like he was dropped into thi slife and this action without a choice in the matter.

Weird.

[RockRaven]

16. Thank you for saving us the trouble.

17. which would give some value to this, found on reddit no idea if real

19. He calls himself a liberal but I doubt if he can even think clearly because of his distrubance.

That's not what i was interested in anyway. It was the pyshcology and its manifestation in the video that interested it, not who to blame.

(And we all know what the answer is no mater his supposed affiliation: control of the weapons of war.)

[ARPad95]

20. I think that account is a false flag. It states he is a product of MK Ultra and is a liberal and

posted a few minutes ago.

9. As the OP states:

It consists of his open, young voice reading a voice-over script about his mental state with videos of a geometric sign over crude animations flashing amid photos.

If you want more, it's only 1:41 long.

14. In regards to this query, repeating the OP is worthless since its vagueness prompted the query.

The desired clarification is what "about his mental state" consists of, briefly. Thankfully someone else was already willing to provide that useful information, saving the rest of us the time AND not adding to the page views/clicks of morally dubious content.

21. So glad you're there to keep us all straight.

8. not much of a manifesto...

Gives no reasoning for the shooting... nothing political, nothing hate related... nothing.

It's gonna' take a while to figure this out.

[skip fox]

11. Yes. THAT's the contemplaltion.

Not what his politics were or who we can blame this on, but how someone can be so disturbed at such an age and talk about it so mildly (even with music in the background), romanticizing it and playing its leading role.

Much to think about.

12. Just your typical lonely, geeky, attention-seeking 2A patriot.

18. I worked over six years in mental hospitals in the 1970s and I think

the homicidal maniacs that are "presenting themselves" today are a breed beyond what I witnessed (and I got to see and talk with some that were being down-graded from the state hospital for the criminally insane, each with a murder conviction or two).

[skip fox]

13. I only called it a manifesto because that's what C&L termed it.

But it is sort of a manifesto of psychosis.

15. Mainstream Republican unfortunately.

This is who they are. The sooner we accept that the better we will be.

22. so the guy is getting people to spread his propaganda nt
