Well, I understand the itch to define that behavior. It's fascinating and scary. It's a pipeline to the abyss.
How can someone who seemed so normal go so wrong? Were there really no warning signs?
And I think deep down we're all worried that this *is* normal behavior.
Apparently not. Everything that's been said about how he was prior to the incident seems to indicate he was a pretty ordinary middle-aged taxi driver in Cumbria.
I understand people's fascination with these things, but I think it's ultimately pointless. There will never be an explanation, or a rationale, or anything that can explain such behaviour. At some point in their lives, certain people
just completely lose it. I don't know, is there ever much more to it than that?
We crazies don't like other people to know, so we hide it. Most of us don't even want to know about it ourselves. So we repress.
Repress. REPRESS! BOOM! Or so I've heard.
Exactly. There is a potential for any old individual, me, you, Mr. Rogers, to go ape-sh*t and start randomly shooting people down. No warning, no predictive models worth noting...just hit or miss on who/when/where is going to be the next mass-murderer.
This is why it becomes even MOAR important to arm every single individual...we have to be able to protect ourselves from this threat!!
