Many Small Flowers
I keep thinking – no, being sure – I have things to say about the latest misogynist murder spree, but I don’t, quite, yet. I’m still thinking I will. Sure, I could rant, but everybody’s doing that – so what’s the point? I think I will have one. But not yet.
Until then, you can have some pretty flowers, listen to the latest workprint from Bone Walker, and I can get ready for rehearsal.
While this most recent loony was a misogynist, he didn’t limit himself to women. He apparently killed anyone he could, and apparently had plans to do a lot more. There’s a lot of finger-pointed as to blame, but since the loony was over age,and technically an adult, the blame lies with him. Was this guy not creepy? Stark, raving bonkers and flat-out creepy on many levels..At least he was stopped before he could carry out all of his plan-too bad he couldn’t have been stopped before he could carry out any of it.
I suppose there’s no real way to predict when some loony is going to go off on a killing spree. There may be signs, but no real way to accurately predict when a loony may snap.
He didn’t, but when killing men, his specific and stated reason (in both video and text form!) was because they were men who had sex from women he deserved and should’ve been given by those women. In all cases, it comes down to women.
Even when killing men, it was because of his hyper-misogyny.
I haven’t followed the case that closely-essentially just NPR and on the radio(local station) at work. I knew he targeted a specific group of women, but I took it anyone who got in his way was a target as well.
The confession video, made before the rampage.
