Now that's a stretch.
Sure he threatened now to kill kids but that was only after Moose man said it was getting personal and now he has something that HE THINKS really gets to Moose Man."
But the Moose said that almost two weeks ago. Why is there a delayed response?
"He only killed one child. Apparently his target is adults"
I think this nonsense that his victims are random is just that, nonsense. What his victims have in common is that they cut across all demographic lines. In other words, the message being sent here is that no one is safe, it doesn't matter what group you belong to.
And the targeting of schools and children is right out of the Al-Qaeda play book.
In this instance, yes. But I'm sure you would agree that when our troops kill the enemy—be that Al-Qaeda sympathizers or another enemy that threatens our national security—it is justified. We are proud of our military because it protects us. In that case, we view killing as just and necessary.
My point is that the assassin seems to view his/her/their cause as just. Of course, this is all purely speculation. From my point of view, he/she/they has/have come from the bowels of hell.
He loves making them feel helpless. If he started shooting cops he knows that one of then would at least fire back. Helpless civilians are his target because this can get the cops in a position where they cannot help the public.
No doubt, you have a very valid point. And I completely agree that he/she/they is/are making the cops helpless and crazy. And maybe cops did something that stimulated this kind of response.
Who knows? I certainly would not discount that possibility, but neither would I discount the possibility that there are other motivations aside from playing with the emotions of law enforcement officials. The intricacy of the planning seems to indicate that there may very well be more to it.
