Maybe it feels good to call this guy an “insane butcher” and lame insults, but if you make the effort to read his manifesto, or parts of it, as some of us have, he appears to be highly intelligent and rational, and he explains himself perfectly well. Who knows, perhaps anabolic steroids played a part in feeding his rage, but the man appears convinced, as many of us here, and people like Oriana Fallaci, by the way, that Western Civ is committing suicide. And he has a plan. Too bad it isn’t (wasn’t) as smart as Vladimir Ilyich Lenin’s plan.
The killer has been quoted as having said that his actions were “horrible (or atrocious), but necessary”.
That’s where the insanity exists, or the total lack of any ability to see that the action he planned and carried out would do great damage to the cause he was so passionate about. Any notion on his part that his murderous acts could do anything but damage efforts to effectively address the suicidal tendencies of Western Civilization is, well, insane or irrational, or just plain stupid.
That’s where he goes off the deep end.
And his attorney is saying that he is talking a lot, and will have much to say at a hearing on Monday.
