Profile of Mass Murderers

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Mass murderers tend to strike in their local community, use automatic or semi-automatic weapons, plan their attacks and often finally kill themselves or hope the police will kill them. After shooting his victims, Durn urged people around him to kill him.

The most common profile for a mass murderer is the lone gunman: someone who is "isolated, reclusive and antisocial," said Alan Langlieb, director of workplace psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University.

When asked to explain how anyone could commit such a horrific crime, Langlieb said simply "there's no answer."

"It's not exactly clear what snaps," he said, explaining that human behavior is too complex to lend itself to straightforward answers. "Some of it is premeditated, but a person could wake up that day and decide I'm going to create social havoc."

There are very few people who have enough disregard for human life to perpetrate such horrific acts of random violence and most of those will never carry out such an act, Langlieb said.

But for someone who is pathologically unstable, socially isolated, angry at the world and out to make a statement, something as simple as a news story could be enough to set them off.

And it is nearly impossible to figure out ahead of time when that will happen and who will be the one to snap.

"On the wrong day with the right weapon and the right confluence of events you can have a catastrophe," Langlieb said.

Charles, you combine the profile of a mass murder with a weapon that would make it very easy for them to carry out their fantasy of killing lots of people. Do you agree?

We used to say," There are few problems that cannot be solved by the liberal application of explosives." Does that count?

It's a stupid question - by implying that I've made some statement, yet interesting, you've nothing to quote from me in reference to your question. The title of this thread is Profile of Mass Murders. If you want to start on another topic, go start your own thread.

If you are talking about my quote, I think they said it in "Navy S.E.A.L.S." But I like Aldo Ray in "The Green Berets" talking about his first chemistry set as well.

Again...you combine a mass murderer with a weapon that would make it easy for them to kill a lot of people in a very short amount of time...that's the issue behind AWB and the reason that the law passed back in 1994.

So far, no one has made any convincing argument as to why an ordinary citizen would need an assault weapon. An AWB would greatly reduce the chance of a disgruntled worker going postal and wiping out everyone of his co-workers. While he may still use another gun, there's a better chance that someone can suppress him before it becomes a massacre.
