Thank you for sharing this. I really appreciate it & have bookmarked it for reference.
I've lost 4people to gun violence, one rather recently who has murdered by a white supremacist that was a mass shooter.
Her name is Alicia Cardenas and I miss her greatly each & every day.....
She was a brilliant, caring, compassionate, & creative soul who would never hurt a fly.

Sometimes there's no other option but in other cases, it could have been avoided.

About three miles away.

No known motive yet, assuming there was one.

Some businesses closed down around here the last couple days because the suspect hadn't been caught.

My sister and an elderly neighbor woman also called me yesterday to suggest that I not leave my residence because he was still loose!
(Good grief.)

I replied, "That guy is probably several states away by now! He's surely crazy, but I seriously doubt that he's still lingering around here in his white Ford Edge!"

Then I went to Wal-Mart to buy some hardware to fix some things, as planned. I KNEW they wouldn't be closed without even calling beforehand!

Edit: I hope justice is done, and I'm pleased that he was caught. He might've already been killed by about 100 bullet wounds if the Dayton police had spotted him instead.

... whom he believed were trying to control his mind.


All four of the poor victims were neighbors of his parents (he'd moved in with the parents after purportedly living in Chicago previously), and they were all on his written list of targets according to my neighbor.

Cops Nab Man Accused of Killing 4 in Ohio Over ‘Mind Control’
https://www.thedailybeast.com/stephen-marlow-accused-of-killing-4-in-butler-township-over-mind-control-is-nabbed
Porter said he was aware of a TikTok video in which Marlow appeared to provide his explanation of the slayings, identifying himself as a “targeted individual” and claiming he was a victim of mind control.

In the video, Marlow said he was planning a “counterattack” and would “gladly die to expose this.”

“Targeted individuals” is the phrase used by a community of people connected over the internet who suffer from paranoid delusions of mind control and gang-stalking. They may believe that nefarious forces are using implanted chip or sonic waves to torture them. In Porter’s case, he claimed “attackers” used “ventriloquism” to control their thoughts.

Marlow will now be extradited to Ohio to face charges.

To pre-emptively neutralize the threat?

Aren't guns free as can be in Ohio?

So sick of this shit
