If it was a social loss like that, then few people would want that status. However victim status provides them a power that they can abuse. People make way for victims, they silence themselves in favor of the victims. It’s a power victims have over society, and they like that power precisely because they are weak and helpless.

The Left gets them into the cult with that lure.

They are waiting for the Trigger. Whether people call it brainwashing, mind control, Neuro Linguistic Programming, hypnosis, or ideological fanaticism, doesn’t really matter in the end.

Results are what matters. Death squads produce results so they matter.

When the Left are given their Orders by their Authority, nothing will stop them short of results, that is. No amount of mercy, no amount of pleading, no amount of bullsh bipartisan American let’s get along syndrome, will be enough. They will Obey their Orders.

It’s the combination of weakness and being indoctrinated by the Left. If a person that is suicidal and angry goes into a cult, you might want to do something about that before something happens.

But if a person is weak, suicidal, or angry, that alone isn’t enough. Because that alone isn’t enough motivation for extreme acts. Combine Leftist indoctrination and you get many good results war wise. Even the Islamic Jihad knows how to program suicide bombers when they lack volunteers.

Since to my knowledge he was never diagnosed or treated for mental illness, I think we are just assuming that he was mentally ill.

What if he did not have a clinical mental illness, but his head was filled with toxic sludge from the Left? We know that bad ideas can cause people to kill without remorse, believing that they are doing what is right and necessary. Look at the 20th century for about 100 million examples.

The frightening thought for me is that there are far, far more people in America who have been thoroughly brainwashed by the Left than there are schizophrenics.

Maybe a restraining order would have been a good idea, as you state. But even that is not foolproof and yes, needs renewal.

What is remarkable also is how he came back to do this after two years! He kept this resentment burning for two years. He did have that lawsuit and it failed last year so really after that, he must have made this decision.

He was obviously unstable if not nuts. But yes, finally the LEFT with its emphasis on micro-agressions and finding racism in every little remark, to an extreme… is at fault. I see this mindset all the time in people I know. White people too, blaming other white people of racism based on innocuous remarks like “swing by” or “out in the field”. It is absolutely insane. I see huge battles fought online in these left circles about these “code words”, it is called “calling out”. Most of them, of course, are not murderous people, but for the unstable ones…

Tonight, a deputy was killed. I believe the murderer was black. He was executed in cold blood. I really don’t have a good feeling about this violence we are witnessing springing up.

Poor, poor, pitiful me.

Perhaps, most hiring managers did not look beyond his race? If so, it wouldn’t be the first time that race was THE deciding factor in hiring someone.

And he may have “festered” for two years precisely because no one else would hire him after that. I don’t know – I haven’t read enough about him to know if he was hired elsewhere or not; and I’m not about to waste any of my time to find out more about him.

It is such a shame because he clearly needed help, and didn’t seek it out (and as Neo says, it may or may not have helped), so now two people have had their lives ended. Two more people are now a widow and widower before they even got to marry. Another woman has had her life turned upside down. And those families will never be the same; not to mention the rest of their co-workers.

So much of this news story reminds me a bit of the LIRR shooter, Colin Ferguson. He, too, gunned down white people simply because they were white (although, unlike this case Colin didn’t know his victims). He ranted against white people all the time according to folks who knew him. Yet the MSM treated his bigotry as an example of his craziness, not something that was influenced by others.

In fact, Sharpton and the like were more concerned with Colin’s shooting making all black folks look bad – thanks for your concern Al!

This is why I suspect the MSM plays down black racist violence; they think only white folks react badly to racist attacks. But, they don’t seem to see that always portraying whites, especially cops, as racists has a huge impact on some folks. And it DOES lead to more violence; even if it only giving an excuse to the thugs.
