The young man was clearly the murderer, as he boastingly planned to be. However, the parents have got to be thinking, did we overlook certain signs for years? I’m presuming they weren’t aware of his madness, not to that degree. His anger may have become intensified because he had an almost androgenous look to him. Some pre- teen girls like that,(i.e. Justin Bieber) but many women seem to prefer a more adult look (Brad Pitt).
I was struck by his comments that he was isolated. Why? Maybe he had some form of Asbergers Syndrome, a type of high functioning autism, where the subject has very little sense of intuition, and social cues are missed or wrongly interpreted. He often posted to some website based on guys who felt rejected by women and were bitter about it. I read some posters on that site were calling his murders a ‘heroic’ action. That is a dangerous site, and should be taken down asap.
I was also struck by his androgyny, and wondered if he was a self-hating gay--could be. But ultimately, I still feel that his parents told him how wonderful he was day and night, but the world did not agree--this crushed him.
He was not crazy--a bit sociopathic--but not crazy. He was totally self-absorbed and had no feelings for how others might feel. That is part of sociopathy.
“That is a dangerous site, and should be taken down asap.”
No, the more dangerous view is that we should censor what we view to be dangerous views.
A whole lot of people think FR is a dangerous site.
Incorrect. That site should be utilized as a honey-pot to identify more like him.
