at Crooks and Liars for now.
it consists of his open, young voice reading a voice-over script about his mental state with videos of a geometric sign over crude animations flashing amid photos.
I don't know how long it will stay up, but it's worth contemplation.
My grandchildren (9-12) made a video this summer which was innocent, beautiful, and funny. And then I see the derangement of a 22 year old. The fact that his voice is that of a child, at least a young adolescent, makes it all the worse.
Thinking long thoughts . . .

(19,359 posts)That's not what i was interested in anyway. It was the pyshcology and its manifestation in the video that interested it, not who to blame.
(And we all know what the answer is no mater his supposed affiliation: control of the weapons of war.)

If you want more, it's only 1:41 long.

(14,972 posts)The desired clarification is what "about his mental state" consists of, briefly. Thankfully someone else was already willing to provide that useful information, saving the rest of us the time AND not adding to the page views/clicks of morally dubious content.

It's gonna' take a while to figure this out.

(19,359 posts)Not what his politics were or who we can blame this on, but how someone can be so disturbed at such an age and talk about it so mildly (even with music in the background), romanticizing it and playing its leading role.
Much to think about.

(19,359 posts)the homicidal maniacs that are "presenting themselves" today are a breed beyond what I witnessed (and I got to see and talk with some that were being down-graded from the state hospital for the criminally insane, each with a murder conviction or two).
