Interesting how these news items are shopped to publications all over the US, Britain or even Israel and beyond.

Without the internet, we couldn't compile a digest of sorts to get a fuller picture.

Probable Jewish psychologist gives a pass to a future Muslim mass murderer, also another home-brew murderer. I don't blame her for not being a visionary, but I wonder why we even bother with these psychological stuff. There had to be some flags. I accuse whoever requires these psych exams a mere formality and their paycheck depends on passing them.

The easiest psychological test to give is:

1) Are you a Muslim?

2) Take a bite of this bacon and tell me if you like it?

If the first answer is yes, then no permit.

If he refuses to eat the bacon, no permit.

Most Jihadis do not have a mental disorder. They are functional people whom are all Islamic.

[Doogle]

The white hut and media trying to say he was mental....nope,just Islamic jhadist. Much like Odungo himself...gay,hates US,narcissistic...

[pepsionice]

This reminds me of certain Air Force professions that required some mental exam to be performed, and they passed about 99-percent of the applicants. Passing the exam really doesn’t mean very much, and any idiot can answer the 25 questions correctly. We could rig up an exam to be President of the United States....and half the applicants passing would be deemed ‘slightly crazy’.

Psychology is a fake science and religion practiced mainly by people who themselves are nuts

The Koran advocates killing homosexuals. The killer didn't have to be insane. He just had to be an observant Muslim.

The left is desperate to blame this slaughter on anything but Islam. "Let's blame the psych evaluator! That will let our precious Islam off the hook!"

I read somewhere, and I don't remember where, that G4S is contracted to Homeland Security to provide security for 90% of all nuclear plants in the USA.

Has anyone heard this or can confirm it?

If true, its scares the s**t out of me.

[Ann Archy]

BINGO!!

[Therapsid]

yep...and prisons...and pipeline...

[DeSoto]

Thanks for your reply confirming what I heard.

By adding in prisons, pipelines, etc. I don't know if I will ever get back to sleep.

Thanks (I think)

Blast from the past:

Tim McVeigh fit a similar profile - worked for a security firm & had extensive psych testing.

To spell Psychologist, first you have to spell Psycho.

So you would reject Jews from gun ownership?

As soon as Nudelman saw that Mateen had checked “Muslim” in religion he should have checked “aw hell naw” on his assessment form.

FOr the Judges who FREE THEM, and the lawyers who
protect them, and their superiors who guide them,
the penalty should be the same as the terrorist.

“The Koran advocates killing homosexuals. The killer didn’t have to be insane. He just had to be an observant Muslim.”

I was trying to figure out the most effective wording to express this thought. You nailed it just twenty words.

[exDemMom]

One common trait of killers is a high level of psychopathy. Psychopathy is the inability to empathize with other people. It results from an inborn brain condition.

I do not think standard psychological tests can detect psychopathy. Right now, there are very sophisticated fMRI tests that can detect the brain defect—but those are not going to be routine now, or ever.

In any case, most psychopaths can and do function normally and never commit crimes.

scored in the 230’s out of 240.

Well, that explains how he plunked a police officer square in the kelvar helmut at distance in a dark chaotic situation.

Explains why the police waited to enter the club
