He Was A Victim!

It took a few days, but it has happened. The killer of Christians attending Colorado churches has officially been declared a victim! Writing in today's Denver Post, Psychiatrist Rhonda Hackett writes about this killer and the Omaha mall killer:

It does not take a professional to figure out that these two young men were experiencing incredible emotion pain and severe mental anguish. Indeed, in both cases, friends, family, or others reported having been aware that each man suffered from brutal psychological pain. Based only on what has been revealed to the media thus far, professionals will tell you that there is a great possibility that Murray suffered emotional or even physical abuse as a child. His online writings are nearly textbook-perfect indicators.

Balderdash! We know no such thing! There is a "great possibility" that "professionals" like Ms. Hackett will do just what she did: assume that the killers must have been abused as children! The only way people can turn out to be killers, rapists, etc., is that they must have been abused as children! We have been hearing this from the mental health professionals for forty to fifty years.

Isn't it just as easy to speculate that maybe the parents coddled him and pampered him? How did he get the money to purchase a couple thousand dollars worth of guns? He was in his mid-twenties, still living at home. Not just any home; a beautiful home with a spectacular view of the front range of the Rocky Mountains. His father is a Neurologist dedicated to researching for a cure to MS. He treated MS patients even long after their insurance had expired. His mother quit her career as a physical therapist to stay home and homeschool him. Does this sound like a profile of abusive parents?
