I am curious as to how he obtained his materials, how he figured it out and how long he was at it.

I'd also like to see what the results of a court ordered psychiatric evaluation have to state. If only...

Sociopath? Possibly, but very human,fitting easily within broad parameters of human behavior.

It has been my observation that we sanctify/hero worship or demonise those we perceive as 'special' IE especially good/talented/ successful or especially bad,nasty,violent,.murderous etc.


In my opinion we do that to distance ourselves from such people saying "I'm not like THAT". We then don't have to bother trying to be better than we are, and convince ourselves we could we ever do the same horrible things as X Y or Z/. Of course we could,it's only a matter of circumstance.

In her book 'Eichmann in Jerusalem' Hanna Arendt coined the term 'the banality of evil' to describe the utter ordinariness of some of the worst Nazi criminals. Evil people rarely see themselves as evil.

So long as this guy ends up in a position where he is unable to repeat the act, I say job well done.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
