Subject: RE: BS: Murderer in Plymouth UK
It doesn't matter whether a murderous person uses a gun, knife, bomb, fire, poison, or drives a vehicle into a crowd. We need to figure out why the murderer felt such anger and hate.
Since such attacks often end in suicide, the murderer isn't even feeling a normal animal's drive to survive. Something is wrong.
Child abuse, drug abuse, problem drinking, gang membership, mental illness and Internet propagandizing come to mind. It probably takes a combination of more than one of the above. There could be other factors nobody's thought about.
I read in a book on law enforcement that alcohol is involved in 97% of serious crime.
