Isla Vista Shootings

[Peter Lemkin]

The shootings in the USA are simply endless. He was obviously deeply in mental anguish over feelings of rejection - something I can relate to; but to go out and kill innocent people is NOT something I can relate to. However, it is increasingly the standard way of dealing with an unhappy life in the USA. I blame, in large part, the 'values' of American society - but ultimately he [or what was once him] has to take responsibility for what happened. It is very sad that innocent persons had to die and be injured just because he was injured and wanted to die. America is a very sick society turning out many sick individuals. While I believe that many of the mass shootings in the USA may have had a mind control component, this one [at this time - subject to change with new information] seems to rather be one more closely related to the GENERAL societal 'mind control', rather than any specific operational use of that concept. The desensitization, generally, to gun violence; the use of guns and killing of others to lash out when one is injured in one's own life is rather uniquely American. In the video his manner is very odd and full of what I'd consider to be false emotion in his voice, though he likely really did feel real pain. All very strange and sad that all the prior mass shootings didn't revolt him - but rather seemed to spur him on as a model for his actions.
