In reply to the discussion: Thread to hope that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev surrenders himself to police. [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)36. And I would like to know what the officer who went on a killing spree
and ended up on Big Bear and all the similar cases and these two brothers really have in common -- in terms of how their brains and bodies worked in these situations.
How did they separate themselves from humanity in their feelings to the point that they could do these heinous acts?
It isn't for me just a question of these guys.
A fanatic entered a Unitarian church some years ago and began shooting. Why? What is the real trigger for all these crazy people.
I think that the religion or the cause is just an excuse, not the real reason they do these killings.
What do you think?

Taken alive or not, it's his relatives who may need to go into a witness protection program.

Welcome to DU, Mango40. Especially if his older brother was calling the shots.
