The big surprise is that this is a a surprise to people still.

Its a sad but true fact of life that "troubled" individuals will continue to attack helpless people.

I think Dave grossman's take on this in society is spot on

For those that have not read his EXCELLENT books on violence in todays society, do yourself a favor and read them

In short his model (which he credits to someone else) is about the interactions of sheep,wolves and sheepdogs

The vast majority of people in society are Sheep..... Kind gentle loving
A small percentage are Wolves.... Live to feed on the sheep
A few are sheepdogs... "Always sniffing around" , prepared to protect the sheep. Even at the cost of their own lives.

If you CCW (or carry off-duty). You need to read this stuff. It truly helped me better understand my thoughts and feelings on SD issues. My first wife always gave me grief about my CCW'ing EVERYWHERE. I felt i had to be able to protect not just myself and loved ones but the helpless around me

Classic sheepdog mentality...

Not better then... Not worse then... Just different then

I could go on and on, but ive gotta get to the gym to TRAIN for the wolf!!!
