Mass Murderers as Victims


The latest would be mass murderer failed because of the quick work of police. But that didn't stop the media from speculating on the motive of the attacker. Did he have a gripe? Was he having marital peoblems? Or did he have some kind of mental aberration?

What ever his problem it's sure to be dramatic. They have to make sense out of the senseless. As if murder were ever justified. And the routine is the same. The interviews of those who knew the assailant and thought he was capable of such evil. He was quiet. The victims are always secondary part of  the story. They will be forgotten. Nothing will be learned. It's all about the killer. It's it all about the sensationalism. Crime pays in America.
