Another Psychopathic Student Story

Elaine Meinel Supkis

As I said after the latest massacre, the USA culture loves mass murder and it entertains us. The lastest story concerning this is interesting because it is a window onto our bloody empire and the children who are being raised to kill others in the name of this empire.

From Raw Story:

A high school senior was arrested after writing that "it would be funny" to dream about opening fire in a building and having sex with the dead victims, authorities said.

Another passage in the essay advised his teacher at Cary-Grove High School: "don't be surprised on inspiring the first CG shooting," according to a criminal complaint filed this week.

Allen Lee, 18, faces two disorderly conduct charges over the creative-writing assignment, which he was given on Monday in English class at the northern Illinois school.

The creative writing teacher wanted to get the kids to 'open up' and this means prying open the Pandora's box of psychopathic dreams and fantasies of the wayward youth who have grown up in this violent culture of ours. Actors who are movie mass killers can rise to the highest levels of our government like Schwarzenegger, for example. This is the land of Rambo where the guy who kills, rules.

Bush, a notorious AWOL coward, likes to pretend he is Rambo. Cheney is a cold blooded killer who even shoots friends and then demands they apologize and cover up the crime. So why would a teacher be alarmed by a child regurgitating all this?

The school is now scared of this kid. He is the guy in those Halloween movies, those many slasher films, all the spawn of Carrie, bloody hell hounds. Of course, children are not born this way. They should learn not to stuff fire crackers into frogs and blow them up after thunder storms, for example. Indeed, the key to tagging pathological murderers is not to look at what they write but to see if they enjoyed torturing animals. I predicted long before Bush launched his wars, he would murder millions of people. All based on the fact he enjoyed killing frogs.

The teenager's father, Albert Lee, has defended his son as a straight-A student who was just following instructions and contends the school overreacted. But he has also said he understands that the situation arose in the week after a Virginia Tech student gunned down 32 people before committing suicide.

Defense attorney Dane Loizzo said Allen Lee has never been disciplined in school and signed Marine enlistment papers last week.

And here it is: the kid is in trouble for dreaming of killing people and now he will go off to do the real thing. This is pathetic because men and women who enjoy torturing animals and dream of killing don't make good soldiers. They usually end up antagonizing whoever they are sent to subdue and look at the Middle East: we are losing our wars thanks to this very force.

Indeed, the quality of our troops, since they are recruited by luring them into wanting to kill, we are seeing the quality of our troops we hire deteriorating. The best and brightest are now becoming the most beastial and belligerent. Proof of this deterioration in recruitment shows up in the crime pages of the news media.

From Associated Press:

Eleven Fort Drum soldiers burst into a fellow soldier's home and attacked him and his wife, kicking him repeatedly and punching her in the face, authorities said Friday.

The attack late Wednesday was in retaliation for the earlier arrest of another soldier, state police said. The 11 were charged with burglary and one also was charged with second-degree assault for allegedly hitting the soldier's wife with a bottle.

This is in my own state of New York. The Mountain troops here were held up as great heroes and good soldiers. Now, it looks more like they are a band of drunk mercenaries, raiding nearby villages. And this is the flaw in 'privatizing' our military: the wars they wage no longer have to be popular, since there is no draft to anger the larger population, wars can rage for years and years and if the government outsources paying for all this by sending all the red ink to China, this merely means we can see wars rage for many years while the government arms open psychopaths who think it is FUNNY to dream of killing 'everyone.'

And we know another truth: these killing spreesters all come back home again. If no suicidal psychopath manages to kill them, first.

I will have very much to say about all this quite soon, but I have to go out. Arresting this kid was absolutely the stupidest thing I heard of all week. There must be something in the water, 'cause people can't seem to use their brains any more. They should have gotten him to a very good psychologist for prolonged therapy. Now, there are many other kids out there just like this one, having the same thoughts (antidepressants?). Only now, having heard what happened to this kid, they will keep their mouths shut, and not write about things like this. So therefore, they will not be sent for psychological therapy. Instead, they will simply go further and further into their morbid imaginings, and will eventually carry them out.

If we could peek into each other's brains, oh, what ugly sights we would see!

In the sixties, I was arrested with a group of kids on a fine summer night for tying napkins around black iron fence rods. I happened to be tripping, in fact, peaking on great acid at the time. So I spent three hours being grilled to death by a roomful of deputy dawgs. They, of course wanted me to 'confess' to everything just about up to the assassination of JFK! I beat all the charges (amazing what a good lawyer can do) in the end. But during that three-hour interrogation, I kind of did a Vulcan mind-meld thing with each of the deputy dawgs. I realized that they had absolutely no internal misgivings about trying to get me to confess to all those absurd crimes.

Everybody carries a whole world of reality around inside of their heads. It's seldom ugly. I have even become very fond of some extremely sociopathic folks. In my world, 'good' and 'evil' are merely outward ways of managing difficult constructs. They are not central. The universal reality is that everyone, even someone like Adolph Hitler, feels that they are somehow 'good'. Even guilt-ridden people who obviously despise themselves must always have this little core of self-love. One does not cross to the other side without leaving that little 'good'-'evil', 'love'-'hate' core behind.

Everyone thinks they are god.

[blues]

Well actually, I do not think I am 'god', or anything like that. All that matters in the end is keeping hold of the infinite sense of wonder.

Well, I bothered to read the kid's essay (it easily googled up). It was rather mediocre.

The amusing part is the commentary at the end where he cites the sources for some of the imagery. This section is well written, even referring to the poor language used in the essay that freaked out the idiots in the school and police dept.

I read his essay at:

The kid's mastery of English is far from optimal. With training and practice, I bet he could be a good writer. The stuff about shooting people and necrophilia and so on does not reflect a deranged personality, from what I can see. It is quite evident that it simply springs from a debauched cultural milieu in which this kid finds himself.

When I was that age, necrophilia was not considered a very interesting concept, and we had far groovier stuff to think about. Like my best friend, who went on to become a small time criminal (but a damn good one, most are so incompetent) would convince me to go with him to the train tracks and throw stones at the cabooses, so the mean old railroad bulls would jump out and try to chase us down! (If you ever hop a freight train, make damn sure to insert a chock in the sliding door channel, else the door will slide and lock you in there, maybe for months!) Then there were always girls, and fixing cars, etc. And hiking and lawn mowing. And visiting virtually nonexistent ancient 'ghost towns'.

This poor kid's life is so circumscribed, and he has no one to explain the basic realities. To the point where he is joining the Marines! I hope this big idiotic farce that has just captured the sick minds of the media voices will keep him out of Iraq. This kid just had his childhood tossed in a gutter by a society that has demolished it's children's culture with its evil media circus.

Yes, Blues, true. So true.

If Shakespeare were writing for a class, imagine that! He wrote some very bloody plays. Heck, virtually no one survives in Hamlet!

This is all so pathetic.
