No motive is given, and he probably didn\u2019t have one. He was fired from his job driving a truck, after which, some days later, he hijacked a US postal service truck, killed the driver (Mary Granados) and went on a shooting spree.<\/p>\n
I won\u2019t term it a \u201crampage\u201d, but rather a \u201cspree\u201d.\u00a0 7 are dead, 22 wounded.<\/p>\n
The media frenzy over this is about how bad guns are and not about why some idiot like this gets a hair up his backside and starts ambushing everyone he sees. That is what should be addressed, not the availability of guns.<\/p>\n

That is always downplayed, which is a very stupid thing to do. The most notorious killer in history, Jack the Ripper, who may have been an East European dock worker living in London, was never caught. He taunted the London police and detectives about what he was doing, and out of the over 700 letters that were collected, people who saw the murders of five East End prostitutes as a hugely entertaining public melodrama in which they just had to have a part, which meant sending letters to the police detectives.\u00a0 https:\/\/www.jack-the-ripper.org\/letters.htm<\/a><\/p>\n In this case, something set Ator off and he took the downhill route of destruction of other people. His use of a gun to do it could have been replaced with something as nasty as contaminating off-the-shelf drugs like Tylenol. As with the Ripper and the Orlando nightclub shooter, his victims were random encounters.<\/p>\n What goes into the mental makeup of someone like this ne’er-do-well? What was the Ripper’s motivation when he was eviscerating five prostitutes in London, and in one instance, cutting the skin off the girl’s face? What was the motivation of Richard Speck, another ne’er-do-well, to trap, torture and murder eight nurses in a Chicago apartment building for student nurses?\u00a0 https:\/\/www.biography.com\/crime-figure\/richard-speck<\/a><\/p>\n That is what should be closely examined. The means of destruction is irrelevant, except that what is used is convenient and easily obtained.<\/p>\n So let’s stop bitching about how it’s the gun’s fault. Guns are inanimate object. They cannot operate on their own, any more than a medical kit used by an anonymous mass murderer in Victorian London or an axe could operate without Lizzie Borden’s hands on it.\u00a0 https:\/\/www.ranker.com\/list\/real-axe-murderers\/jacobybancroft<\/a><\/p>\n I guess I’m just fed up with the immediate hysterics coming out of the media when these things happen.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
