He bought the car, knew what it could do, and tried it. preconcieved intentions. No different than this guy buying guns, armor, tear gas, IED’s, and all the other shit he had, coming up with a plan, and carying it out. Neither of my examples are looney toons, they are people that didnt give a shit about anyone around them and did what they decided they wanted to do.

What the actual fuck are you talking about??

Comparing little billy driving like an asshole because he made up his mind is IN NO WAY compared to a dude walking into a movie theatre and opening fire on innocent people.

Little billy didn’t make a conscious decision to kill people. It may happen inadvertently…but was not the reason for driving like an asshole.

Colorado shooter walked into theatre with full intentions of laying people out…not by accident…(insert guess here…maybe infamy?).

Just stop.

There is no rhyme or reason when a nut job decides its ok to pray and spray with an “AK” into a bunch of innocent people, NONE OF US will be able to fathom what went through his mind.

The back and forth over why he did it is useless. There are many meaningful conversations to be had over such an incident.

Maybe he wanted to make sure Batman really died this time. But on the way to the concession stand they made an announcement THAT THEY RAN OUT OF POPCORN.
