I waited till I got enough courage to post this...LOL
IMO, there was A LOT of what I call "background noise" in this whole thing. The video games. I play Grand Theft Auto and other type of games like Warcraft. They're precision games and hold your attention. Not everyone likes the racing ones or the bowling or tennis ones. Does that make me violent? Does this mean I'm gonna build a catapult and storm my neighborhood? Nooooo! Again, I know it was there to show MS was into what they were describing as violent or violence minded because of the games he chose to play.
For example, in the Arias case, her lawyer tried to insinuate the victim was a pervert and a sexual deviant because he had watched one of Daft Punk's amusing/bizarre video's on his computer and the song had lyrics with "stronger" "harder" "faster" in it. So, the rap genre, in and of itself, has become way beyond violent and down right scary with lyrics about women raping, cop killing and more. Does that mean these rappers are gonna go out and actually DO those acts? Rap has become the harder and more violent, the better. Show you're a bad azz, a warning that if you mess with me, I'm gonna get payback. Do they? No! Background noise, IMO. I won't get into other stuff, that, IMO, was similar background noise.
Here I go, this WILL NOT be popular. IMO, the Eliminator, was more a part of DM and his employee, Shane S...more than MS. DM and the guy had discussions about the "size/model" they should get. DM decided to get the larger model. Shane S's name was on the receipts. I DO know MS knew of it and it's purpose. The paperwork was found in DM's Yukon when stopped.
The actual shooting was done by DM. All's my opinion, again. BUT, I can't wrap my head around the fact that the murder was "planned", per se. From DM's text, he mentions, something to the fact, when asked, said it could be an early night, or a long one.
Murder was an option, BUT, it could go either way. IMO, DM was ready for the murder to happen, though, AND MS, as well. IMO, it just affected MS differently.
When MS got home, he was visibly shaken (MY interpretation) and said things got "effed up". IMO, again, I honestly believe that MS didn't know stuff was gonna go down as it did,BUT, he had NO problem what so ever as accepting it and taking part in the horrific events that came AFTER.
