  • Movies have nothing to do with it. A person who wants to kill will kill, and it can't be stopped.

    It's like that "joker" killer in the states. He wasn't made to do that shit because of a batman film, he made a very conscious decision to amass alot of money and then purchase weapons and a bullet proof vest before shooting up that cinema. He isn't crazy because of films, he's not crazy at all, just faking.

    People like this existed before violent film and computer games did, so therefore it can't be the cause. Jack the ripper didn't play computer games now did he?

    It's a case of fantasy through isolation most times. And other times it's simply a "bad seed", someone born with a tendancy towards it.

    • "Just faking" so one would think, the truth is we'll never known what drove a Ph.D candidate to fire assault weapons into a crowd of people.
      We're lucky he was a terrible shot and only got 12 kills with an AR-15, but my guess is he wasn't fully committed and didn't anticipate the killing so didn't try very hard, because I've handled many-a ar15 and they do not miss if you don't want them to, and any average idiot can hit an apple off a pole with it from 500 feet away.

      • Faking insanity i mean, in the legal sense. You know what the legal definition is don't you?

        He did it for Attention, very few mass murderers give themselves up. Almost every one of them through history has killed themselves or been gunned down. He joins the rare ranks of those who didn't, and those people turned out to be Attention seekers who didn't want to die. He fits the bill of an Attention seeker almost perfectly, he dyed his hair in advance of the shooting and called himself "the joker" afterwards for a very obvious reason.

        And as for the firearm issue you are forgetting that he shot way more than 12, only 12 happened to die. You see people quite often survive being shot, even multiple times.

        He was also shooting into nothing but a cloud of tear gas, not an apple on a pole, just into "fog" at nothing while people laid on the ground avoiding most of the fire.

        Columbine is a good example, TWO PEOPLE armed with automatic weapons only killed twelve.
