A noble try, but take a quick look at a lot of the posts on this board and realize that taboo just doesn't work here, I guess. I can't imagine having most of these conversations offline with a fascist like Titus (why should Kuros be the only one to have any fun). |
The media makes collective decisions on what to and not to report all the time. They could agree to not publish the names. SmokingGun etc would continue to do so. Most people just stare at CNN. Re: Dave's, it makes no difference. There are about 10 regular posters and probably not many more regular readers. |

You know you can edit the original post and change the title that way, right? Its pretty simple. Just edit the first post to this thread and remove the killer's name. |
I know. Here you are urging responsibility and me leaving it up there. You're probably right, so I will. You've managed to nag me into it, which is not really meant as a personal attack btw. I find he who can't be named interesting, and understand why people have read his manifesto, but then again I have also bought and read books about Columbine and Mao and Stalin, etc. So go figure. I find value in understanding things and being open about things- but our media and culture don't handle it well. |

I read his 170pg essay last night. Not unibomber quality stuff, but sufficiently descriptive for me to diagnose him as a crazy, narcissistic, asshole.
He was completely nuts. Very angry. Consumed with his inability to live the ideal life that Hollywood sold him (ie his view of college as a big frat party where thin blondes with big boobs throw short nerds some vag). He hated his roommates b/c the argued with him and he said he's stab them to death (he did). He hated his brother b/c he was going to get more ass then him (this realization is what caused him to plan the killings, see pg 127). His parents divorced, his dad was basically absent. He had aspergers. Saw three shrinks in 2014. |
You read that in 1 night? Good on you. Took me a couple of no-class afternoons.
Seriously though. Guy seemed to have every complex I've ever heard of. |

Thank you for changing the title. |
