I wonder why he shot himself if he planned to make a getaway? When does it go from self-preservation for a mind like that to clearly not wanting to face justice at others' hands? Seems so cold and calculated somehow a thing to do at a moments decision. If he had seen the police earlier, going in, would he have not killed here and then some other time? Or maybe somebody would have noticed something in time to call LE? What ifs... they all seem to have guns, practice with them, families who are aware of their propensities, resources, and seem to be loquaciously deviant on SM... but that could describe so many people. We accept speed limits on roads, will SM self-regulate at some point? It seems to be the biggest social factor, beside continuing lax gun control, to have changed dramatically over the last half decade compared to anything else, to me. hmm, it feeds everybody's egos at will equally into a what may seem like a vacuum of no consequence at times, makes lots of money for some people and makes real people seem less human to some, so any ideas on where this will go?
just again I think so much of all of this is cell phones. Life is rough, and not "polished off" in a 140 characters. I shudder to think what this generation is going to to do when they get married. They have no conflict resolution skills, they are spending endless hours aiming cameras at themselves, walking with their head down missing 95% of the world going on around them.
I am not a good "waiter" , but lord, sitting at a red light, doing nothing, can give the brain a cool off. I just cant imagine what everyone is constatnly doing on their cell phone. Constantly, endlessly. Expect an answer to everything in ten seconds - just micro manage it in your heads - hotels are coming out with crap that we will text you when your room is ready (we all survived not being told the second our room was ready!)
Order a sandwhich we will text you the sceond its ready, again we waited for a sandwhich. There is an erosion (casue of cell phone ) of impulse control, frustration tolerances conflict resolution, meaningful interpersonal relationships.
I walk past a Starbucks and see a table of 5 colleges kids, all 5 with their heads down texting or whatever - you have 4 other human beings right there - none of you are interacting with one another ,.
At the pool, I see 4 collage ages come to pool set up and then proceed to spend the next 4 hours on the cell phone. If each of you had that much to say , obviously to someone that is not at the pool with you - why not invite them to join you at the pool and then you all can talk about whatever it is all you are texting, someone obviously not there while there are 4 other 8 inches away from you- its just odd behaviors - we are social animals.
And if we even look at this from another whole angle, think about it, in all the stuff that has been going on lately, LE learns more about perps than they do from homosapians in these peoples lives. Thats messed up - one social footprint , now days , amounts to what keys someone punched on some computer.
Twenty years ag o police investigation meant interviewing human beings who had interactions with another
homosapiand, not a damn smart phone (that in and of itself is quite insulting a scary!) - if I told someone 20 years my phone was "smart" I would have been placed for observation!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So much of this is mental illiness missed, casue noone is face to face - most mental illiness is not people talking to clouds, its far more subtle - but that fact in and of itself, with a cellphone, gets missed and here we are again.
Obviously in a mood , dispise cell phones, dont have one would never have one from the onset I thought they were obnixious, and boy as the get "smarter" they creep me out more and more "smart phone" how about a smart person!! Ugh
