(7,650 posts)I can't foresee how a court will decide, but it's clearly murder.
What interests me most about the perpetrator is not how he will be sentenced, it is his appatent sociopathic incuriosity about the lives he chose to end, let alone the potentially catastrophic effects his actions would have on other people, especially the victim's families.
What I most would like to know from this is if the killer here is actual evidence of Fox News Derangement Syndrome, which is a particular psychotic problem, I gather, for some angry, white elderly men. They become unable to feel/show empathy/compassion at an individual or societal level.
We know the adverse effects this syndrome has on our political and social wellbeing, but is this case possibly evidence that people suffering from this condition may be dangerous to others? If so, what, if anything, should be done in response to any related public security risk?
