There is no shortage of people who make penis references to guns, fast
boats, fast cars or just about anything else they are opposed to?
Isn't that psychobabble?
It is clear there was something wrong with these people's thinking
processes. I am sure we will be hearing a lot more psychobabble as
this story goes on.
There has to be something that separates a responsible gun owner like
you from this waste of oxygen.
I think it is a little different when lay people try to psychoanalyze
someone who has committed a horrific act such as the one in Newtown. The
few professional psychotherapists I have seen interviewed on TV are
rightly reluctant to play that game in the absence of a face to face
evaluation and, of course, that isn't going to happen. Some of the
"symptoms" and behaviors attributed to the shooter suggest
schizophrenia. If that is the case, it manifests itself in many
different ways, and it is silly to think in the absence of evidence the
shooter did what he did for "fame," or to be somebody, or even to "get
even." We may never know what was on his mind. According to my wife, it
is "very interesting" that he killed his mother. Matricide is not
common, even among the severely mentally ill. Particide is a bit more
common, especially where the father has sexually abused his child.
