A reporter and her camera man were fatally shot on live TV, and the depraved murderer later kills himself after he faxes suicide note to ABC news.
All evidence points to an extremely angry and warped individual who complained of being discriminated against for being Black and "gay". Reports say he had various problems with other past employers also.
But when they speak of this person in the media, the main thing you hear is always the same rhetoric about gun violence and mental illness. Indeed, in this country there is a problem with gun violence and definitely issues with the mentally ill, but the problem here was way beyond that. In this case, as is in most of these murder-suicide cases plaguing our nation (and the world), the issue no one wants to talk about is the increased loss of sanctity for human life.
And the increased depravity only rides on the waves of the consequence of gun violence and mental illness. But you won't hear that in the media or in popular talk. The only way to explain this is by deflecting the blame elsewhere. These things become political extremely fast.
This man stated in his suicide note that he planned this two months prior to the event when he acquired the gun and praised past murder-suicide killers calling one of them, "My boy". This man was not mentally ill because he knew exactly what he was doing and planned it.
"What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you."
- James Chapt. 4
