GUILTY PLEA DEAL ACCEPTED - 4 Univ of Idaho Students Murdered, Bryan Kohberger Arrested, Moscow, Nov 2022 #116

[Megnut]

This is interesting to think about. Perhaps his parents would be more inclined to understand he was the murderer if he lied about his situation at WSU. I feel deeply for his family, and suspect they put up with a lot. JMOO

I can imagine his monversations. I think he finds himself smart, charming, attractive, and the people (women) who refused to see that, they were wrong.

Mother likely got a daily monologue about the morons he was forced to face every day. It's exhausting for the smartest man in every room where he was forced to deal with students far beneath him, supervisors with ridiculous expectations over situations he surely refused to recognize or correct.

Many of us know people like that. A hundred jobs and it's always the manager who is bad, never them.

I'm guessing he fell short of every single expectation. Cooperation, respect, attendance. And not open to correction.

Unable, unwilling to consider another perspective. I suspect his family learned a long time prior that challenging BK never ended well, better to nod, agree with a mmmhmmm, and pray he was merely venting.

Does he care that he's in prison? Doubt it.

Real life in the real world didn't suit him.

I agree with your entire post, except I have a different opinion, at least for now, about this last part.

I do think he cares about being in prison, partially because the other prisoners aren’t going to hold him in awe, and instead will harass him.

Mainly, though, he may consider prison quite the indignity. So beneath him, and an indisputable certitude that he was not, after all, smart enough to get away with his crimes.

Truly the real world did not suit him, but I’m unsure if he knew, felt or believed that.

***He was attempting to force a real world into being.***


One that adored him as a brilliant man, one that entitled him to go for a PhD. and judge undergraduates, one that gave him pride of place in his family, one that catered to his diet, and PARTICULARLY one that he felt entitled him to take by force the girls he wanted.

While BK may have had no intention to return to WA, I don't think his father knew that. In fact, I think BK purposefully led him to believe he was just going home for the Christmas/winter break.

I don't know that BK had a plan. He doesn't seem to have a need for a plan. He has a quiver of opinions to shoot down other people's advice, authority, direction, criticism, suggestion.

He doesn't believe in seatbelts. He isn't familiar with crosswalks. He has an answer for everything and amazingly he's never wrong. That makes for a tiresome person.

In a very few months, he'd managed to leave a bad smell in every nose. Waitresses were bothered by him, students were bothered by him, colleagues, office mates, instructors, supervisors.

Complete opposite of the golden boy, accomplished PhD student some maybe desperately hoped he was.

I don't for a second think he felt like a failure either. I think he felt wronged.

By everyone. Wronged by Mother when she didn't the his calls quickly enough. Wronged by women who didnt see his attractiveness, which he chronicled in selfies, confirming it for himself. Closed loop. Wronged by just about everyone at WSU. It takes quite an ego to remain confident in one's rightness only by deeming every one else wrong. Another closed loop.

We see it now in his umbrage over missed biscuits. He is entitled to whatever he feels he's entitled to, with zero awareness of what he's taken from others.

Does he care that he's in prison? Doubt it.

Real life in the real world didn't suit him.

Great pulling together the unending reactions to BK. Everyone he met seemed to feel uncomfortable around him.

I am at a Dr. Scott Bonn event. Interested in hearing him speak!

Yes! Your last paragraph is spot on.

In Howard Blum's book 'When the Night Comes Falling' he wrote about the difference of opinion that BK and his father had. MK wanted to take the route they planned, a more southerly route, but the murderer wanted to drive through Colorado to supposedly avoid snow! MK knew better than to argue, so he let BK have his way without further discussion.

According to this informative podcast, the murderer wasnt coming back to WSU. His life as he knew was done, courtesy of his own doings. Btw, well worth a listen. jmo​

(31:48):

* I believe this should be Washington rather than ID.

Remember remember when his dad
flew to *Idaho, drives it with him back from Idaho
to Pennsylvania. Kohberger had already lost all of his funding.

(32:09):
He'd already had his PhD funding pull because of the
jerk that he was nothing to do with this case.
He wasn't publicly mentioned at that point. He lost that
on December nineteenth, had his funding pull. He was no
longer going to be a TA. He had lost his PA.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
He was done. He was actually going home for good.
He wasn't coming back.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
It wasn't no comeback, I don't think. I mean, maybe
he was going to come back and collect some of
his things, but you know, his academic life at that
point was dead. At in the state. They wouldn't touch
him with a vaccinated crowbar. No, I'm serious, No, I'm
just saying the staff there because this guy, this guy

(32:48):
is you talk about throwing a wrench into the system.
You know that that whole ecosystem of the PhD environment
can be thrown into total and complete chaos with somebody.
They're not going to take a chance on this guy
any longer.

Okay there must be something wrong with that link takes me to some other story. If anyone tripped over the right link I would appreciate that. TIA

I'm not being lazy I found something from July but I don't think that's what was referenced.
