Let us follow the logic here. Guns are dangerous. I will demonstrate this by going on a murderous killing spree with a gun. A tribute to modern education and the swinish narcissism eating away at our civilization, where other people are regarded as props for one’s internal psycho dramas. Go here to read the story.
Anti-Gun Nut
- Donald R. McClarey
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
He comes from an intact family and is not from any exotic demographic segment. His father is an athletic coach and coached both sons. He attended business school in Alabama. Having completed business school, he found a position within commuting distance of where his parents are living within the commuter belt of a 2d tier city on the border of the Midwest and the South. He specialty wasn’t marketing. I’m going to wager that about 90% of the young people who fit this description are Republicans. Before he went on his rampage, you’d have called him an odd and idiosyncratic character. An autopsy has been done to ascertain if he was suffering from brain damage, but this may be one of those things you can never explain (rather like Charles Whitman in 1966).
His father is an athletic coach and coached both sons.
The family is liberal. The father made an anti-gun tweet shortly before his son went on his rampage. That is not to make light of the great grief of his family, but the son’s views on guns are not surprising considering how he was raised. Now how he went from there to going on a murderous rampage to show how dangerous guns are, that is part of the mystery of great evil performed for a ludicrous reason.
Sturgeon exemplified at the very least the common jumbled and quite hysterical leftwing thinking of many 20-somethings having exited his 8-10 or so years of high school and college open-air prison indoctrination camps: In addition to his anti-gun rantings, according to his manifesto (and as mentioned in the linked article), he had 3 goals, the first of which was to kill himself.
A shame for the sake of his victims he didn’t start with that.
I’m not buying into his rationalization. He was fired, was upset about it and took it out on the people who still had jobs there. But he had to make up an insane excuse of gun control/”assault weapons” bans because his twisted brain reasoned that such a motivation would make his actions virtuous …
What is it with narcissists and manifestos?
It all starts with your first Facebook post that gets a “like” . . .
He was fired,
There have been conflicting reports about that.
I’m still waiting for the TN manifesto.
So very sad and very illogical.
Some things are filed under the mind virus of the left.
Accelerationism. Aka Cloward–Piven strategy and the like. There was even a movie way back when where a guy frames himself for a crime in order to get the death penalty and prove that the death penalty is flawed because it executes innocent people.
Life of David Gale! That was the film.
So it’s hardly like this train of logic is that novel to the Left.
LoL spoken like someone who’s never been to Louisville. Good to know we’re a “second tier city.”

Your contention is what? That it’s not a 2d tier city or that it’s located somewhere other than the border of the Midwest and the South?
Know Jesus. Know peace.
No Jesus. No peace.
Similarly, many media-heralded, ‘anonymous’ hate crimes, e.g., nooses, are surreptiously planted by civil rights activists.
Could it be the left’s promotion of looting, resisting arrest, rioting, and all forms of violent crime is one of the reasons they lost popular support for the gun control hoax?
Hey Art, while you’re spouting useless and meaningless trivia, you can bring up our minor league baseball team, or numerous microbreweries. 4 game shops closed this year too. =(

Try to focus. The subject is the rampage shooter in Louisville, who he was, what might have motivated him.
I am beginning to see, repeated, examples of people who think crazy things who take actions to make the real world around them into the thoughts that are taking place in their head. There seem to be endless examples of this. The world around them becomes a prop to act out their sick thoughts—and to validate their own thinking. It is sick.
We all already knew how easy it is to slaughter people in a gun free zone with a gun. We already knew that suicide by cop is a sure thing if you are murdering people or trying to murder the cops. DUH.
I am also wondering if he were on psychotropic meds and/or was taking them incorrectly, etc.
Dunno. Looked at schematically, he was quite different from Audrey Hale. Finishes his degrees on time, lands a satisfactory job, shares an apartment with a contemporary rather than living with parents, Not carrying any excess weight or suffering illnesses which have been identified at this time. No identified history with liquor or street drugs (as yet). Yet, he has ‘mental health challenges’.
His family confirmed that he had mental health issues. I wonder if this was a long standing problem.
Yeah. And the facts you brought up have nothing to do with that, hence “useless” and “meaningless” just as if you brought up the killer’s height or eye color. Or I guess in your case, his haircut. Why don’t you comment on that?

I offered a description of the young man in question and some of the anomalies about him, which had to do with his upbringing, education, and residence. It’s not that difficult to discern the difference between the properties I mentioned and the ones you mentioned. That aside, if you didn’t think my comment useful, you could ignore it, which is what 98% of the people reading it would do.
The purpose of forums like this to to discuss matters in public life, religious, political, and historical. The moderators pick the topics. It is not the purpose of the forum to give commenters a venue to expose their odd little issues.
This is your 3d remark on something you contend is ‘useless’. I am not the source of your issues. The source of your issues is the fellow you see when you’re cutting yourself up with a razor in the morning.
If it is, then explain them. Because as someone who has lived here for over a decade now, I can assert as I did originally: no, the properties you mentioned had no relevance.

Joke’s on you – I don’t shave. 😛 What is your obsession with people’s hair???
And you’re back again. And complaining about other people’s ‘obsessions’.
Well, Art, I know negative attention is the best an autistic weirdo like yourself can hope for since you don’t have any friends so it’s more about charity, than obsession.

Mr. Edwards sets up the threads so comments close automatically after a certain run of days. He does that for a reason. The last remark by the moderators was 11 days ago. Again, the purpose of the threads is to discuss the issues raised in the posts, your efforts to make them an adolescent slam book notwithstanding.
