In reply to the discussion: Please no more sympathy for the shooter [View all]MaryMagdaline
(7,937 posts)33. I guess what I'm trying to say without really saying is that KILLING is the reason.
He has a taste for it. Its ice cream. Its sex. Its chocolate. He cant wait to experience it. Politics just gets you the access. Its concerts, fairs, sporting events. Mass bodies to blow up; huge chance at notoriety. He probably doesnt even hate Trump. He likes the violence of the Republican Party but doesnt have any real empathy for people inside or outside the party. Hes too excited to have any real empathy.

Found that interesting. Like the Idaho killer. Mother and sister were therapists.

If their abuse has caused them to be mentally ill they never felt seen or heard so they have resentment towards society

I was shocked at some of the posts here i saw right after the shooting. It's like there was no humanity.

Sorry, Abolitionist. I should have pointed out that "he was a good kid who did a bad thing"

I have to believe that there is something in you that says "my pain doesn't translate to inflicting pain on others."
