When somebody says "terrorize" or "terrorist" I tend to think along military/political terms, not somebody who snaps or hates the world and wants to take a few people with him.

If anybody has any links, I'd be curious to read about people like Whitman and the Colombine kids, etc., who snap and yet are rational enough to plan out all kinds of scenarios and prepare to kill as many as possible before they are killed or suicide. It's just bizarre to think about being so psycho as to do this, and yet plan it out, write about it in advance, etc.

On another note, Fred Phelps has decided his little inbred clan of merry followers should protest at the funerals of the VT dead (godhatesamerica.com). As much as they've protested at the funerals of soldiers, I figured one of these days they'll get in over their head, and this will probably be it.

What, they aren’t in over their heads yet? I had forgotten about those idiots until you reminded me. I really can’t stand those people.

I think all of this does come down to mental illness in a sense. Of course, a person could be a complete sociopath and simply not care. It makes no sense to me. People can “snap” quickly or “snap” and simply become somebody else. I know the Columbine killers were suspected of something months in advance. That’s several months that they were clearly out of their minds, yet still these teenagers were planning mass murder. It’s possible that these people were never right to begin with - I’m certainly a believer that some people are simply defective.

Fred Phelps strikes again. Sick, sick, sick.

He protested the funerals of the WV coal miners. I didn't think he would make it out of that protest alive... but I was sadly mistaken.

They also planned to protest at the funerals of the Amish kids who were murdered in PA. They didn’t do it. GEEEEEE, I WONDER WHY.....

They won’t show up at this one, either. They just want to get their name out there for some more free publicity.
