According to The Daily Mail, the mass shooter who killed 5 people and injured 9 others at a bank in Louisville, Kentucky left a lengthy manifesto explaining his reasons for perpetrating the shooting.
While the manifesto has not been officially released, it seems the perp murdered these people in a bizarre anti-gun protest, killing them because he was opposed to mass shootings.
The 13-page missive describes his goals before the horror at the downtown Old National Bank, where the 25-year-old livestreamed the massacre on Instagram as he gunned down co-workers at their morning conference.
Sturgeon made three key points in the manifesto, which is in the hands of the police: he wanted to kill himself, he wanted to prove how easy it was to buy a gun in Kentucky and he wanted to highlight a mental health crisis in America.
According to The Daily Mail, the killer wanted to show how easy it was to buy a gun and commit a mass shooting. He did that by buying a gun and committing a mass shooting.
The mass-murderer legally purchased an AR-15 assault rifle on April 4, six days before he entered the bank at 8:33am where he was met by a friendly woman colleague at the entrance. He told her 'you need to get out of here' before he tried to shoot her.
The narrative now is that the shooter may have suffered brain trauma from concussions (apparently not enough for him to graduate college and work a white-collar job at the bank), and the media is running on that angle to explain the depravity of the human heart.
But as of right now, the evidence points to the simplest explanation: This was another murderous act perpetrated by a left-wing terrorist who hated the people he disagreed with and wanted others to suffer in order to prove his point.
The FBI has had Michael Steele working on producing the manifesto, and Hillary Clinton’s left-over campaign money, and George Soros are paying for it. Isn’t that how it all works in this country today?
Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot...it’s a feature, not a bug.
So, why do we know so much more about his manifesto as & nada of the Nashville chick’s manifesto???
“I hurt, therefore the world must bleed.”
I think these shooters have no idea of the pain other people feel, or at least people beyond their own closed self-reinforcing online groups.
Life is hard. It hurts. It’s full of loss. You have to cultivate joy. We don’t teach this any more. We don’t teach resilience and coping. For all the schools talk about empathy and emotional intelligence, they fail to teach it. The results seem to be anti-empathy.
“I matter. Me and my pain. You don’t care. You caused my pain. Die, die, die. My pain made flesh. Now you all see my pain.”
Proving why we should always have the means to defend ourselves in an open society
Yes. But there is also those like in this instance who take it on themselves to try to set the world on fire and not just wait till they have all power.
And as can be seen with AntiFa and BLM, not to mention more than a century’s worth of petty murderers and traitors before now, they infest the society like dry rot.

LOL!
Yup.
School of Darkness contains examples of how more subtle poisons they use work, in particular early on when a “teacher” uses a clever mix of condescension and appeal to pride to separate the young Bella from her interests.
The left in this country are apologists for folks with serious mental problems. Unwilling to let the sick carry the stigma and obtain subsequent treatment of being openly classified as mentally ill, the left chooses to mitigate the threat folks like this are capable of until its too late and then its the guns fault.
Typical leftist “logic”.
In the 1980s GUN WEEK newspaper this would be called “the curse of the gunnies” in which an anti-gun radical grabs a gun and goes shooting people.
***he wanted to highlight a mental health crisis in America.***
Proof we need to reopen the mental hospitals closed down in the 1970s. Almost every mass shooter in the last forty years would have been in one before they had a chance to go on their killing spree.
Well, he found out.
The ends justify the means.
The left has always been Machiavellian
The stated goals of the Buffalo shooter and the Christchurch shooter were also to get very strict gun control passed, because they believed it is one of the very few things that would trigger a civil conflict in modern times.

(only fiction?)
He heard “Whispering” into his ear, “you WANT to kill yourself” repeated over and over then “you can make the country and the world so much better with your self sacrifice, even though you are too tired and sad to stay for it.”
then he heard “your session is over, here take these and a full glass of water to come out of the therapy treatment.”
he thought he heard a distant voice on a radio say through static “returning to command post, subject is ready and eager.”
So in other words he did it for political reasons—a political terrorist.
We’ve always known how easy it is to commit crimes in free societies, we certainly didn’t need him to show us.
Most people cherish a free society and so they’re civil and moral enough not to do such evil.
He was a small, selfish, immoral person...in the extreme.
May history erase his name and forget that he ever took a breath.
