How do you know for sure he did this for no reason at all ? Have you ever seen Slingblade ? I'd post the vid but the language is to much for ATS . Doiyle certainly had it coming.
Unbelievable !edit on 10-10-2012 by randyvs because: (no reason given)
He stated he was on no medications except things among sudafed, and zyrtec type allergy meds.

I lived in that community for a short while. I have a child who has lived there for years and they tell me that this family presented themselves as 'the perfect family' (not my words). My child tells me that my grandchildren knew and went to school with their oldest daughter. She got pregnant and married the father, then divorced and was living across the street from her parents with her grandparents.
This is just hearsay you understand.
This is a small community with what the state considers good schools so lots of monied people there. In the last 6-7 years it seems so many young people have died. Auto accidents mostly. My grandson had a roommate who called him at 3 in the am. They hung up and the young man got off at the next exist, crossed the highway then went into oncoming traffic and had a head on collision. He died. About 6 months later my grandson's ex girlfriend was found hanging in a motel room. It was called a suicide but I learned that although, it wasn't made public, they were considering it a homicide.
I don't recall all the reasons for young deaths, but I do remember thinking that there seemed to be much more than you would expect for such a small community.
The thing is I don't know if he really did have a reason or not, I'm going by what he said in the 911 call

I gotta be honest, I have no desire to argue about this so lets agree to disagree and I'd hate to derail this thread.
know some allergy meds can make you really tired

Sudafed contains (usually) a drug called dextromethorphan. DXM for short. This is a dissociative (like say PCP) at high dosages. DXM is widely used recreationally to get high. It's not unheard of for someone to snap at a high enough dosage. It can cause complete disattachment.
Just thought I would throw that out there

wonder if that had any correlation to this incident. No reason to rule it out yet.
It also makes you wonder why it's so easy to put things things on our shelves for sale. Thank you for teaching me something new!

The kid was in shock. It's common for people in shock to exhibit an erie sort of calmness sometimes. A lot of it depends on the psychology of the person too. I don't think he is a sociopath only because of how he clearly had an emotional reaction to what he just did. Sounds to me like a kid that had a short fuse and access to firearms without the self control to limit his anger. He made a bad mistake and realized it a few moments too late.
Psychopaths, Sociopaths, and Narcissists
The more extreme manifestations of an absence of spirit is known in psychology as psychopathic, sociopathic, or narcissistic personality disorders. Spirited people who fit this condition are misguided and held hostage by their egos, but they can be rehabilitated. Instead of lacking empathy, their empathy is either suppressed or displaced. These are not true psychopaths, but spirited people with personality disorders.
True psychopathy and sociopathy, however, cannot be cured because something is fundamentally flawed at the core of such persons. They lack empathy and remorse altogether, and these qualities cannot be recovered because they were never there to begin with. The incurable nature of psychopathy is an accepted fact in psychology. The cause is believed to be an abnormality in the pain and fear centers of the brain. Even so, without the balancing influence of spirit, such abnormalities would introduce unchecked errors into the programming of the ego, which then runs rampant to the point of coming to the attention of the legal and medical systems. What the medical system can diagnose is only the extreme and sloppy manifestation of a condition that is more widespread throughout the population. Other spiritless people with properly functioning egos are better at keeping their lack of empathy and remorse camouflaged under more refined social programming.
