theres also a picture going around from his highschool year book where it says he's likely to become a cop. so long standing obsession with cops. How that translates into killing people, not sure.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Perhaps some who fantasize about being cops aren't fantasizing about serving their community - they are fantasizing about having the power of life or death over others. The respect (and fear) of the uniform plays into that.

Who fantasizes about "serving their community?"  :wacko:

There's people who want to be heroes. Like firemen who start fires so they can then be the good guy putting them out.

Most people who want to be cops fantasize about banging Alexandra Daddario. The shooter was a nutter.

Current count is up to 19 dead. He apparently shot the RCMP office in the chest, then pulled her out of her car and killed her execution-style.

Rampage started with his ex-wife and her new boyfriend.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Uh, lots of people?  :huh:

There is a pretty notable desire to be a "good person", to help others by promoting justice, health and safety. It's a big motive for some at least to be cops, health care workers, firemen and women, give to charity, etc.

Maybe I should have put emphasis on the word "fantasizes".
