Majic you need to understand that what Weise did is not typical of many crimes committed daily.It has been the worst shooting since Columbine in 1999.

This type of crime is not as common as you believe and the fact that Weises posts are on here allows people an insite into an event that most people wouldn`t have any connection with.

This type of shooting is extremely rare which makes it more shocking for people who have read
thoughts from Weise.This has put Weise in a differant league to murder,rape etc etc which is one of the many complicated reasons shooters do this type of crime.

Look at the way Wiese described it.....evil and coming at him....something that would be fearful...the command to shoot would be the alleviation of that fear/anxiety.

Exactly. Why does the dog have to represent this shooting? Why couldn't it represent his mental instability, the voice telling him to shoot the dog being his inner desire to be healthy, and his shooting it being his attempt to get well (alleviating his inner pain)???

Imo, deciding to shoot up a school of people whom you have a basic identification isn't an easy decision to make...........especially on your own.
Originally posted by Majic
Unfortunately, such people are also quite capable of doing things like this without being under someone else's control.

The capper is that agencies such as the CIA have been proven in congressional hearings to have done precisely that in projects such as MKULTRA and others like it.

It's unlikely that any of us will ever know for sure one way or the other....

Definitely. But more than enough information for wild speculation, which is, after all, part of what makes ATS so much fun.

I am curious to know if your assessment includes the last line of his post:
Hey, what can I say? I basically have no personal life outside of school. == Weise

The Real Need For Understanding
I think I'm reasonably well-informed about crimes and their nature, and I don't recall making the assumption you are rebuffing here.
Your comments would suggest otherwise.
I did say that people do evil things all the time. I did not say that kids shoot up schools all the time, and there is a pretty big difference between those concepts.
You are trying to suggest that crimes of this nature happen all the time. Someones perception of evil happening all the time isn`t in the same context of this crime.What Weise did is not an everyday occurance.
Of the evil things that people do, shooting people in a school is just one of a seemingly endless variety of possibilities. Shooting innocent people anywhere, however, is definitely an act of evil.
My point is that people do evil all the time. While it's unsettling to think of a fellow ATS member being a mass murderer, the truth is that in any population such as ours, there's a chance that a person like Jeff Weise will be among us.
I very much doubt there is a person on here that is a murder.If you can suggest any evidance to back up my incorrection.
And not just him. With over 36,000 registered members around the world, there are undoubtedly plenty of other ATSers who do evil and are capable of acts such as these. That's just the way probability works.
This comment suggest you don`t grasp the nature of the crime Weise committed.
Contrary to apparent misconceptions expressed by some ATS members, crimes such as these do not necessarily involve mind control, conspiracies or anything like that -- although they most certainly can.
Sometimes a person just snaps and starts killing other people.
Again a lack of understand of Psycology, people do not just wake up one morning and decide to kill relatives then members of the public.
When you make claims regarding what I believe, instead of what you believe -- which is all you really know -- you are pretty much guaranteeing that you are going to be wrong. And sure enough, you are wrong.
You don't appear to have a clear idea of what I actually believe, so I recommend not trying to put words in my mouth. I think I'm reasonably capable of expressing myself without your “help”.
I am making claims on the content of your writing and your abillity to write rubbish on a subject you have obviously no knowledge of.I don`t have any doubts that you are capable of expression yourselve, just the lack of knowledge and the authorutive way you try to write as if you no everything
Consequently, many ATS members, myself included, are making assumptions about him and the case that are probably wrong.
That again you can make the assumption they are wrong, you show a lack of respect as you could be wrong and other members could be right?
We are free to be wrong, however, which is one of the many blessings of intellectual liberty that is rarely appreciated for its true value.
You seem to have a hard time admitting people could be right.
As I clarified above, I agree that these types of shootings are rare, but I think it is misguided to say that they are somehow in a “differant league to murder,rape etc etc”.
A surprisingly significant percentage of murderers murder more than one person. There are a lot of people walking around loose in U.S. society right now, for example, who have murdered more people than Jeff Weise did.
Really misguided no if you look at FBI, serious crime units they tend to deal with multiple random murders rather than some guy/girl that stabes a violent partner to death.The nature of the person capable of random masss killing makes them very dangerous.The importance law enforcement agencies put on detecting and catching these type of criminals is a measure of the LEAGUE there in.
The idea that someone as young as Weise could be a mass murderer is disturbing, but there are inner-city gang members younger than Weise who have killed more people than he did -- and are not arrested for the murders.
Can you back up this ridicoulous statement.
Teenagers kill other kids and family members all the time -- sometimes entire families. The more heinous incidents are reported nationally, but quite often, child murderers don't get as much press attention as one might assume. Sometimes state laws prohibit the public release of the child's name, for example.
Again this has to be one of the most unintelligent statements l have yet to find on ATS.Again do you have any evidence to substanciate these claims or are you in position to know it just not prove it ?
And it's definitely not a phenomenon that's unique to the United States. Child murderers can be found in all nations and cultures, but don't tend to get the press coverage they get here.
Again any evidance please mention countries crimes etc etc.
We can infer all sorts of things from a tragedy such as this one, but in doing so, I think it's important to maintain a sense of perspective, which is what I'm recommending in this case.
Maybe you should keep to the ethic of ATS which is disscussion.You can recommend all you want,but you are way off any understanding of this subject.Please read and comment others post but don`t try to judge,advise,recommend to people who you have no knowledge of.You have an opinion sure but try hard to understand that you could be wrong.
Probably the only person who really knows what actually happened is Jeff Weise, and he is no longer available for comment.
Psych profiles and knowledge gained from individuals who have carried out mass murder of this kind we have learn`t to understand the reasons,causes.
A hunter goes where there is ready game...
No continent except the frozen wasteland of Antarctica has been entirely spared from serial murders, but some regions are clearly safer than others.

I have expressed my opinions, and you have expressed yours.
Based on your posts, it seems likely to me that you and I will disagree on many different things, aside from this particular topic.
That's fine, but I will not be taking marching orders from you, and you will have to be content with the fact that I will post as I see fit, when I see fit, and how I see fit.
This exchange between us is going in a direction I don't care to go, so I hope you can be satisfied that I will give your opinions all the consideration I think they merit, and leave it at that.

Weirdo, you're way off base. Majic is pretty much on point.
On ATS there are men who have killed, probably men who have raped, definitely men who have stolen, assaulted, and abused - there is no denying that. There are child murderers in other countries, if you read the news you would know that. Not six weeks ago a man was hanged from a crane in Iran because he lured children into the desert to rape and murder them.
This site claims the murder rate in America is 5 to 7 times higher than other industrialized nations, on average.
To say that ATS is miraculously free of criminals, when the rest of the world clearly is not, well, that's just naive.
Originally posted by weirdo
The direction this is going in is l want you to and other to substanciate your claims or if you cannot then word them in such a way that they are just your claims and not factual.
Originally posted by weirdo
Anyway no disrespect meant l am only on here for discussion
Originally posted by weirdo
I never stated ATS was free of criminals.Just potential child mass murders.
