Black. he was wearing a ballistic helmet, a tactical ballistic vest, ballistic leggings, a throat protector and a groin protector and a gas mask and black tactical gloves. he clearly wanted to survive. he clearly wanted to feel and look military in doing this. what does that tell you? well, you know, normally mass murderers end up dead at the end of the day. they don t care. they re fed one life. they want their name in the headlights and ah-hha, ha, i ha done it. and in norway when he mowed down children on the island. he s been in court bragging. put out the manifesto. i wouldn t be surprised if this guy read it. there is a new breed that wants to commit the crime and get to enjoy, you know, the benefits of stull being alive. pat, i m curious what you are saying about the norway shooter and the potential commonality is ....
That means that in many situation, someone could have tried to stop it, but kept the secret or didn t take the killer seriously enough to act. also sober is the way we in the news media may be feeding these people s last wish. they want em phamy, power after a misunderstand life. what happens after they shoot up the scoop or multiplex? they send reporters to the scene and do non-stop coverage. we ve got to do that. it s what the people want and need. i think most outlets do it respectfully and tastefully, but we can t ignore that our coverage completes the explosion of attention and power they were looking for to give their life the resounding back they were craving. even if they re not around to see it, they know everyone will know they re name. i m not hiding from the fact that the nature of media makes us part of the story. ....
Interesting to me. i m thinking of jared laufner who shot gabrielle giffords. we haven t gotten a sense of what motivated him and what led him to do it other than the sense that the guy was just basically crazy. is that it? they re really just crazy. they re not crazy. they are psychopathic. the purpose is to get back at society. prove they have been ignored too long. sometimes they will tack on some kind of political aim which really, quite frankly, since they are psychopathic they could give a crap about the politics of the world. they are looking for something to justify the attacks. oklahoma city bombing wasn t about the government. it was just somebody wanting to do something amazing. timothy mcveigh. that was his thing. the ft. hood shooter which ....

Motivation for this. is there anything that suggests that s the case or is it something that that s the pattern you have seen before? it could be a a lot of motives for this. how do we know attention would be one of them? in the case of mr. holmes i can t speculate because i don t know anything about it. i can t diagnose him. the generic pattern of a lot of mass shootings, mass killings that we have seen often that s the case. there is wicked rage for recognition, a sense of helplessness. more importantly in some ways is this rage. this anger that the individual has and really has had for a long time and doesn t know really what to do with or how to deal with. dr. diamond, you re right. a lot of people have rage. a lot of people have problems with the way society is. ....
