       National Derangement
       By: K-Dog Date: May 28, 2022, 2:12 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Yesterday I did my wage slave thing. Two weeks ago
       eighteen-year-old Salvador Ramos was doing his wage slave thing,
       but he quit. With no paycheck on payday to pick up, and not able
       to graduate high school on May 23rd with his peers, Salvador
       Ramos ruined his life in an emotional meltdown of murderous
       mayhem on May 24th.
       Salvador Ramos decided to become America's next mass shooter.
       Salvador Ramos has five-teen minutes of infamy now. He will be
       infamous perhaps a week before America's next mass shooter
       steals his thunder. And Salvador can't enjoy his flash of
       infamy, he's dead. Salvador became a corpse while becoming
       infamous.
       Salvador Ramos is a flash in the pan, but America's melting pot
       boils with disturbed people. Every day like a pot on a stove,
       disturbed souls boil over to splash the rest of us with their
       scalding derangement. To keep from being scalded, America should
       stop making disturbed people. This is an obvious and sane
       solution, and it will be ignored.
       Aeons ago, when I was 18, graduating high school was mandatory.
       Becoming a dropout was never an option. The dropout rate in my
       high school was less than 3%. Academic standards were high.
       Police would investigate kids who looked like they skipped
       school. People went to church and everyone was part of a family.
       You could be Jewish or Islamic or whatever where I lived, and
       most citizens were colorblind. Being tolerant was a virtue.
       People helped each other. The infection of racism was not as
       strong as it was in the rest of America. Racism was weak in the
       northern big city. Weak enough so most people were embarrassed
       to show the disease if they had it at all. People behaved
       themselves.
       Cold weather makes good citizens. Half the year is fatal in the
       Northern Midwest. If you don't have shelter and good clothing,
       you freeze. Nobody needed AAA if there was car trouble. Helping
       others was normal.
       Life had structure. Hard work paid off. The future was bright
       and only getting better. With fifty K a year, you would live
       like a king. Most dads raised their kids on twenty just fine.
       My dad was a hard-ass. I was 12 years old when he told me the
       only money I was going to get was money I earned. I was not
       going to get any from him. My dad is gone now. At the end, he
       regretted that he kept his word to me. I told him it was OK.
       Things worked out well enough for me. Earning my life gives me a
       good feeling.
       Fifty cents an hour for lawn mowing did not go very far. Paper
       Routes did better, but were dangerous. Delivering newspapers on
       an inch of new ice in a blizzard is dangerous. Dogs were a
       constant danger. I love dogs, but on a square mile of suburban
       newspaper delivery area there was always at least one bad dog.
       Legal working age was 16, but I was a freshwater tropical fish
       expert at 14. The local pet shop hired me to clean animal cages
       and talk fish. One dollar an hour under the table. I was in
       heaven. A few hours after school and a full day, sometimes two
       on weekends. When I was 16 and legal, I had been raised to $2.75
       an hour.
       As the years went by, I had a lot of different jobs. University
       took forever. I supported a family. It took a few years to
       settle down and become a proper student. I become one and I
       earned professional degrees. My passion for tropical fish was
       replaced by a passion to understand electronics. I became an
       engineer. Becoming good at what I do is important.
       Before writing any of this, I read for an hour everything I
       could about Salvador Ramos. Salvador was cruel. His relatives
       claim he was bullied. But guys who shoot other people with BB
       guns for shits and grins are at least one step beyond asshole.
       They are bullies. Salvador's brain wrinkles may not have been
       right. In a land of 300 million+, shit happens. Bad brain
       folding happens somewhere. But I can't help wonder if things
       could have been different for Salvador Ramos.
       There was too much structure in my life for me to have ever been
       a school shooter. My dreams never went beyond blowing up empty
       school buildings, and that as only something fun to think about.
       Certainly not seriously. I was into science and read books. I
       liked school. I have good brain wrinkles. Before the Internet, I
       went to the library. Now I work part-time.
       I have my own dark side but I learned to harness my feelings
       before I did myself in.
       We start out more the same than we become. Life leads us in
       different directions. I had the advantage of structure long
       enough to learn to shape myself. I become what I do. I become
       how I act. I become what I think. I am fortunate.
       Some things, some doings, are better than other doings and other
       things. There are some futures worth being a part of, some
       futures not worth having.
       But America lost structure. People overloaded with choice and
       buried under an avalanche of change are dizzy with confusion. We
       live in a time where anything goes and nothing matters, leaving
       even the most capable confused. Everything became the same, and
       now nothing is allowed to be better than anything else.
       The Buffalo shooter Payton Gendron also 18, was the shooter of
       the month before Ramos stole his thunder. Payton is a tape
       recorder of crack-pot hate. Nothing in Payton's manifesto is
       worth reading. Payton's brain is an emotional sewer. I have not
       seen his manifesto, but I read enough description of the Mein
       Kampfian wannabe tome to know there is nothing original or
       anything of possible merit in any of it. Payton Gendron is a
       deranged hate robot. Bad brain wrinkles are possible.
       When adults don't know right from wrong, children can't tell the
       difference. We all mimic more than we live authentically.
       Currently there is a war in Ukraine to mimic. Cage fighting is a
       thing.
       Set your own limits is fine advice for anyone able to do so. But
       many people only copy others, it is all they can do. Such people
       need direction or they get lost. Without direction, a path
       leading to self-destruction of futures, theirs and others, is
       possible. America has no good direction to offer America's
       children or anyone else now. Salvador Ramos needed more
       direction than his fry burger job could give him. Bad brain
       wrinkles or not, people appear to have let the young man down.
       Salvador Ramos and Payton Gendron may be organically defective.
       Wanting to kill people, is a defect for sure. But are their
       defects from the environment they grew in, or from personal
       structural defects. Bad folds of the brain? Or not?
       The violent Halo video game franchise has sold more than fifty
       million copies so far. America celebrates violence. People enjoy
       the thrill of violence. But a small number of people can't
       understand the difference between entertaining fantasy and real
       life. These people mimic. They can't understand real life is a
       banquet of consequences. These people can't understand that real
       doings have any real consequences at all. In fantasy
       consequences don't exist. Everything works out. In fantasy that
       which is the most fun gets done and endings can always change.
       America worships at the church of the Second Amendment. Guns are
       fun and there will be another mass shooting soon. In America,
       guns are good. America would rather see schools become
       fortresses armed by guards looking like prisons before changing
       gun laws.
       I offer no solutions. Nobody is interested in solutions. The
       band plays on. Fortress schools would teach kids a lesson. But
       not a good one. I keep my solutions to myself.

       Well done, K-Dog.  A good piece - well written.
       The benefits of early work. I had to start helping around the
       old man's little store when I was very young - maybe 8 or so.
       They'd have me weigh up bags of spuds or other simple tasks.
       I think we have to also consider the chemicals prevalent in
       food, air and water as well as all the constant electro-magnetic
       bombardment as possibly having an effect on some minds.
       Keep up the good work.

       [glow=red,2,300]"Nutballs.
       I believe America has a nutball problem."[/glow]
       Indeed.
       Land of the free.  Home of the brave.
       Over 60% of the people who engage in these mass shootings have a
       history of domestic violence.  More have a history of cruelty to
       animals.  It seems, as JOW noted, the horse is out of the barn.
       There is no removing firearms from the US.  At the rate of
       confiscating one gun per minute it would take over 500 years to
       get them all.  If you only concentrated on semi-auto rifles and
       shotguns it would take over 100 years.  So... can we get guns
       away from crazy people without impinging on the 2A?  Vindictive
       ex-spouses, hateful neighbors, bureaucratic bullshit can all
       work to keep firearms away from a sane, well adjusted person if
       you institute a mental health provision in the law.  I have no
       doubt that the constant desire to disarm the populace will
       produce abuse by authority. The age could be raised to 21 - with
       a waiver for 18 year olds who could get references.  But this
       would drive the gun lobby nuts.  The industry will mount a
       massive push-back against any curtailment of rights (profit).
       Of course, this particular incident was made far worse by the
       cowardly, inept police.  They issued all sorts of gear; helmets,
       body armor, latest firearms - but they forgot to issue a pair of
       balls.
       This was a horrible event.  Nineteen kids dead.  In Chicago they
       would call it a bad week.  Meanwhile, I get adds daily for ammo
       and guns.  There's a special on Turkish shotguns and Brazilian
       handguns with several suppliers.  There are over 400 MILLION
       rounds of Russian ammo sitting in US warehouses right now.
       The media, of course, gives its focus to the Armalite platform.
       They look like what they are.  However, as most of us know, you
       can get the same performance from a Garand based model with a
       wooden stock.  Add a binary trigger (one shot on the pull one
       shot on the release) and you're damn near full auto.
       The 2A serves as a deterrent against tyranny.  It's that simple
       and I wish it weren't so.  But it is.  We should do all we can
       to keep insane morons away from guns but I have little hope.
       I do not live a "normal" life, but I can say with certainty that
       on several occasions I'd have been dead if I didn't have
       firearms.   It's perhaps my weird circle of acquaintances, but I
       know a lot of people who will tell you the same.

       Put the kettle on, theres no short way to weigh in on this.
       Where you say 60% of mass shooters have a history of domestic
       violence and later that this is a bad weekend in Chicago, be
       assured that a gender studies ideologue has conflated the two
       things for the purpose of labelling all men as potential threats
       of mass shootings.  They have taken the quote 'there are lies,
       damned lies and statistics' to previously unimagined levels. I
       won't go into evidence of that right now, but if you want me to
       I can explain as well.
       Yes men who shoot three or more people they have some personal
       conflict with, often gang related, have probably had an intimate
       relationship with another person. Of all the high profile cases
       involving seemingly random targets or a group perceived to be to
       blame, only two I can think of had a wife or gf: Martin Bryant
       and Steven Paddock.
       Both of them also had the type of assistance Lee Harvey Oswald
       did.
       (Video shows Kennedy shot from front not rear and above. Paddock
       using .223/556 from 400m had no lethal penetration, video of
       witnesses immediately afterwards saying there were shooters in
       the crowd  running after them as well.
       Bryant's name is not supposed to be mentioned here in Tas, hence
       the movie  about him was called 'nitram', reversing the letter
       order of his name. I haven't seen it, but revulsion and
       exclusion creates mass shooters in the first place. You wouldn't
       know who I'm talking about if I follow this counterproductive
       convention.
       Anyway, he is mentally retarded and listening to tapes of him
       talking to the police before giving himself up, he's talking
       about an accomplice and it being "your guy is still in there
       (the cafe) I'm worried hell get hurt when you go in".
       Neither of those two were ever mentioned in relation to domestic
       violence.
       Let's examine how these three are extreme outliers from the well
       known profile of a high profile mass shooter far from having a
       partner domestic relationship, being a virgin unless they have
       childhood sexual abuse.
       For this purpose let's say Oswald is not a complete unwitting
       Patsy as he claimed, and did his part of his own volition, which
       I believe.  His family background fits the profile of a mass
       shooter, absent father and non maternal mother, however this was
       an assassination, not mass shooting.
       He was married in the1950s in the USSR in an era when marriage
       rate was far higher than present. That absolutely matters when
       you factor in the isolation common to almost all mass shooters.
       This also makes them easy pickings for military psyops units,
       where they are offered a sense of belonging and father figure
       handlers.
       Bryant and Paddock were both wealthy and women somehow go
       together with that. Paddock from business and Bryant inherited
       about half a million dollars from an old lady who was his
       neighbour. A lot of money in the mid 90s.
       I don't know anything about Paddock of Las Vegas massacre's
       earlier life. You could theorise that it's possible if abuse,
       bullying, exclusion and isolation were present, they set in
       motion something that could not be reversed when he seemingly
       had it all. To begin with, we don't know that his early life was
       like that and also, his action (he still did this of his own
       volition even if he was assisted) was political radical.  It
       falls under an eg Sunni v Shia, Croat v Serb type category.
       Bryant again, is responsible for his own part in Port Arthur. It
       seems his home life was ok, his mother is still in his corner,
       but definitely being mentally retarded had experienced a lot of
       exclusion and isolation. He didn't have any friends even though
       he was living with a girl at the time it happened. Probably if
       he was a bit smarter and capable of of thinking ahead more than
       present moment, would have put the past behind him. He was a bum
       surfer and there are still plenty of them here I know.
       Before heading to PA he went and shot people who refused to sell
       him their property. That's indicative of primary school mental
       age moral reasoning, so easy to influence with offers of
       whatever they want. For a mass shooter that's usually just
       company and my take is that is what led Bryant to get involved.
       Recruited by someone posing as a friend, which goes with it not
       being also a suicide.  He is unusual in being taken alive
       because the fact that these acts are primarily suicides is
       overlooked in the collective response. We don't care about the
       life of the shooter and are focussed on the lives of the
       victims, so only think about why would he shoot all of them. To
       understand that, first think about why they decided to die
       themself first.
       Impulsive actions aside, people suicide when they have nothing
       to live for. Then they can have a group they blame for their
       circumstance. One plus one equals two for a mass shooting.
       Murder and suicide.
       Why Ramos didn't shoot his own former high school, I don't know.
       He might not have been able to get in after leaving. The MSM
       tell us he was ridiculed for his clothes, but not mentioning
       that was probably wearing women's clothes as they never show the
       fotos of him in drag. His foto above, expressionless and
       constricted pupils screams sociopath to me.
       If you look at the data prior to Adam Lanza in 2012, it was
       always their own school they shot up. Brenda Spencer of the 70s
       boomtown rats song, columbine in the 90s etc, it goes back at
       least a hundred years in the US, the data I saw before might be
       on wiki as well.
       Most in the 20th C involved only around  2 or 3 dead, so may
       just be bullies of the shooter. The further back you go, the
       more settling scores was nobodies responsibility but yours as
       well. Not condoning, just explaining or attempting to.
       The Buffalo one not shooting his own school is explained by the
       manifesto, which I haven't read either, but if we take it as
       truth he wrote what we are told, he targetted the group he
       perceived to blame for his circumstance. More or less the same
       thing as Christchurch NZ. That guy at least had training to
       explain his precision. The Buffalo boy must have played a lot of
       paintball, looking at his livestream.
       Going up in age, guys usually go and shoot or blow up the
       workplace that sacked them, but the profile and background is
       the same. The same one plus one applies: exclusion and isolation
       plus a group to blame.
       The autistic Filipino guy, early 20s in Hollywood, name I forget
       now. Wealthy parents, he owned a BMW, talked about how he had
       nicer car and clothes and felt he was also better looking than
       the guys with the girls.. resented them all and went shooting
       them all.
       The one in Florida also about 20 who shot up three Asian massage
       parlours, said he did it because was addicted to sex. Obviously
       not by the partner path, so the same one plus one. Another one
       unusual in being taken alive.
       Two things stand out for me in explaining it all, without side
       tracking into possible conspiracy. An interview I read about 30
       yrs ago before internet, with one taken alive who said;  just
       look for a fascination with guns and a history of abuse and you
       can't go wrong.  Another is that African proverb; if you don't
       allow the young men any place in the village, they will burn it
       down just to feel it's warmth. Of course that's just some
       explanation and not a solution. Like KD I don't have one either,
       but I know focussing on mental health isn't a solution when
       there is no realistic hope.

       Thanks so much for posting this, Mr. Potts.  One of the reasons
       I participate here is the quality of the thought and opinion you
       (and others) express so well. This is a topic that I know
       involves your professional expertise and I'm grateful you
       weighed in.
       "Where you say 60% of mass shooters have a history of domestic

       I have no doubt that every one of these events is used to
       further a political/social agenda.  The news coverage is
       obviously selected and geared to maximize a desired effect.  I
       would indeed like you to expand on the evidence of manipulation
       and planning.  IF, in fact, some of these incidents are
       scripted, it might account for the unfathomable police response
       in a few of them.
       Another dimension to the discussion:
  HTML https://wchstv.com/news/local/victim-hospitalized-in-charleston-shooting<br
       />
       Mr. Butler was a bad guy.  Thirty seven years old with an
       extensive criminal record.  He showed up at a high school
       graduation party with an AR and started shooting.  A quick
       thinking woman with courage and a pistol (and apparently a
       decent aim) prevented another terrible outcome.
       I'm writing this reply in chunks as I have to take a break from
       cutting meat every so often because of my hands.  So this is
       part 1.

       whatever wonderful conditions are available there.

       I don't think this Shooter was Muslim, so he likely wasn't
       motivated by Virgins for Eternity.

       How many shooters would we get after a few of these?

       Depends on how many virgins they get after enduring some brief
       amount of pain in this life for doing what their nutballery
       rewards them with for eternity?

       No, this one chose to be a virgin for eternity!

       Doesn't matter what the rewards are in the afterlife, believing
       there are some is enough for nutballery. Religious wackos were
       nutballs way before run of the mill psycho teens with guns began
       doing it to get famous on YouTube or whatever. They want
       accolades for their nutballery now rather than in the afterlife
       perhaps? Facebook Face and whatnot. Faces on the same coin as it
       were.

       You are so right that they are run of the mill nutters.  Nothing
       special.  You have a right to be crazy and have unfiltered
       emotional expression in America.  It is what FREEDOM is all
       about here.  Not the kind of FREEDOM Mel Gibbson screamed out in
       the Braveheart execution scene.  It is a different thing.  Our
       kind of FREEDOM grows crazy people.
       Emotions are always considered valid in America.  No matter what
       they are.  The idea that a person should or could regulate how
       they feel and act is a foreign concept.  Our anti-vax people
       will never stand for gun control.  FREEDOM is more important
       than public safety.  It was a year ago and it still is.  People
       who will not even put a cloth on their face to keep strangers
       alive will 'be dammed' if you take their right to kill a
       stranger away.  They will come for you.  Possibly with guns.
       I was **** on for not agreeing that ALL vax mandates were
       inappropriate by the pop FREEDOM crowd.  Compete refusal to be
       vaxed and thinking you have a right to whatever employment you
       have is a brain dead point of view.  Nurses who would not get
       vaxed and who work in a hospital ICU should be fired IMHO.  My
       caveat to getting vaxed was that there had to be a compelling
       reason to require people working with the public be vaxed before
       you threaten their employment.
       My compelling reason attitude makes me into a stick in the mud
       patriarch to anyone involved in what America thinks the 'left'
       is.  Comrades understand but we don't have so many of those.
       'Left or 'right', we are one nation under nuttery.
       The last thing I am going to do is advocate for controls which
       would keep guns out of the hands of unstable people.  That would
       be un-American and I have enough bullshit to eat right now
       without giving myself more problems.  I hope my attitude does
       not get me shot.
       Check out this nutter.  He wanted his neighbors to 'hold' his
       guns.
