Don’t they have hours of interviews with these mass killers? (Dahmer, Gacy, Holmes, etc.)

Either the experts are keeping their findings more secret than the Dead Sea Scrolls, or they really don’t know how to pre-diagnose it.

Those are serial killers, it's a different mentality from a mass or spree killer.

“Either the experts are keeping their findings more secret than the Dead Sea Scrolls, or they really don’t know how to pre-diagnose it.”

Sorry, but the truth is that with the exception of the BAU Unit on TV, predicting criminal behavior is about at the stage where Roman Era future telling was.

For those unfamiliar with Roman methods of “Divination”, think ‘chicken entrails’. That’s right - looking at chicken entrails was considered to have predictive value. But don’t laugh too hard at those poor, backward Romans.

Those same “soft sciences” who now bring you predictive capability” just yesterday were touting Sigmund Fraud. Oops, make that Sigmund Freud. Hmmn, was that a ‘Freudian’ slip?

;-)

Do remember that one of the major foundational philosophies of soft sciences claiming predictive capabilities in human behavior was(and many still are) deeply committed to both Freud and his egregious lying about his “patients” who turned out to be imaginary.

But, let’s cut Siggie and his acolytes some slack - after all Freud may have heard ‘The Voices’ telling him about those fictional patients.

When ‘The Voices’ speak, Liberals listen.
