When I was an undergraduate I took an introductory psychology course. They gave us case studies to demonstrate the "science" of psychology. One such study was about rats placed in a cage. At random intervals the wire grid on the bottom of the cage was given an electrical charge. After repeated doses of this treatment, the rats began to fight with one another. The conclusion proferred was that "incarceration of individuals leads to aggressive behavior". I was struck by the idiocy of the conclusion and swore off psychology! At the time, it occurred to me that the more obvious conclusion was that if you subject an animal to an undeserved, random negative stimulous, they conclude that the "other guy" is the culprit and start to fight over why this terrible thing is happening.
Guess what? This fits the terrorist mold! They supply random, intense negative stimulus from an unknown source and WE start to fight. How better to make a society turn on itself. Especially with our liberal media so willing to spread blame far and wide to hitherto undeserving sources; i.e., whites, serial killers, males, etc.

You have a serial killer addicted to shooting gallery games. Only this time its not in an arcade, its with live humans. This guy is one sick, psychopath puppy.

And some rats just huddled in the corner and shivered.
Something I learned while in medical school and doing my required stint at a psychiatric facility:
The psychiatrist with the most aggressive personality and power is the one who is "right."
