How many times have we seen this in the recent shootings?
Interestingly, at least one of the chemist researchers who developed Prozac for Eli Lily committed suicide. By going into the Hoosier National Forset, building a ceremonial bonfire in which he burned his company ID card, driver's license and other wallet contents, and then hanged himself.
Perhaps he was the last Eli Lily employee with a conscience.
I suppose the alternative would be to see them hanging from the lampposts and utility poles.
Ummm... did you see this?
NIU grad recalls shooter as inquisitive, smart, nice
Snip:
Our topics of choice: foreign policy and the Middle East. He would especially enjoy practicing his Arabic on me. In 2004, NIU decided to offer a year’s worth of Arabic classes. Steve took both classes without hesitation, excited as could be.
“Assalamo Alikum,” he would say to me, which means “peace be with you” in Arabic. He would proceed to ask me how I was doing and what I was up to, all in Arabic with a thick accent and a huge, excited smile.
Sometimes I was his walking dictionary and he would ask me, “What does this word mean in English?” or “What is this word in Arabic?”
We would debate on issues, sometimes argue, but he would always back his arguments with facts. It was about logic and things adding up to him.
Once we took a course called “The Politics of the Middle East.” At the beginning of the course, our instructor informed us a research paper would be due by the end of the semester. Steve decided on Hamas, which is known mainly to the world as being a Palestinian terrorist group, which was the first thing that interested Steve about the group. But he also heard Hamas funded many social services, which also interested him. How could one group be put into two completely different categories, Steve would ask.
Unlike most of us, Steve started his research from day one, reading every book he could find on Hamas. He’d give me a status report when we saw each other in class. Steve said that his perception of Hamas changed with all the research he did.

Now the question is, what else did he mail to his girlfriend besides books (The Anti-christ was one), a new cell phone and weapon accessories?
Just like everyone forgot about the Talovic Salt Lake City Murder Spree (Utah)... muslim:
