It's Not Anti-Semitism. It's Another Sociopath.

   CNN would have us believe the Tree of Life Pennsylvania Synagogue was a result of anti-Semitism. That shooting was not the result of systemic prejudice against Jews in America. The Emmanuel Church shooting in Charleston was not indicative of systemic prejudice, either, though there is nothing more delicious to CNN than suggesting that Americans are a bunch of dangerous racists. If it were true we would have shootings by groups on groups like only Hollywood could produce the likeness of...and would love to do it if it would make them money.
   The truth is that we are in a world where at least 1% of us are sociopaths. No conscience, no regrets, no empathy. How does one plan for life with no passion? All those holes... but still vulnerable to a sense of purpose. Sometimes a badly misguided purpose.
   Not all sociopaths become mass murderers. But, as we know, some do. Public voices can create sentiment in trusted circles of young and youngish sociopaths who are vulnerable to a trigger...a trigger that can easily lead to over reaction and destruction. I believe that destructive rhetoric on the  internet has contributed quite a lot to the triggering of sociopaths. And folks, it is not Donald Trump who has been doing this. It's CNN and the New York Times people who have weaponized the Media. Trump is defending us from their destructive effects. They blame the destruction caused by their rhetoric on Trump. It's easy to see. It's a game to them. It makes them money.
   I believe that most family members of sociopathic personalities recognize the characteristics...the ones that have made their lives uneasy growing up. They know what I am talking about. And they know how ignored and avoided their sociopathic sibling or child has been. If asked, they really don't know why "he did it", but in their circle of family and friends, they are not surprised.
   Sociopaths are not entirely the victims of genetic issues, either. Social conditions in which they are raised contribute and can entirely create the problem. The notion of 1% could be a rather large understatement. It could be 2, 3 or 4 out of every 100 people will end up with homicidal capability and with incomplete personalities.
   So, getting back to anti-semitism and Pennsylvania and anti- black racism in Charleston, we would do well to remember that these two incidents, as well as Sandy hook elementary school, were events that  occurred as a result of unstable personalities...sociopaths...going off...triggered by their own distinct combinations of triggering events...and NOT the results of nationwide anti-black racism...or anti-Semitism as CNN would have you believe...or even anti-elementary aged school children or even Batman movie goers or concert attendees in Las Vegas or even to Gay concert goers in Florida. They are the result of crazy people who have marginally functioned up to a certain point and then are stimulated to do something that draws attention or is, in their minds, a sigificant terminal event...a badly misguided but strangely attractive and satisfyingly purposeful event. The have had nothing to do with any "-ism". They have been crazy people.
   The event does not have to be directed at a group. It can be directed at a young lady hitch hiking or walking to her home every evening after work or jogging a familiar roadway every evening or morning or walking on a busy street in Myrtle Beach, SC.
   The 1 or more percent are everywhere. As our population grows and we become more densely populated, there are more and more of these people among us, and we are more likely to come into contact with them. Seemingly random murder has always been here, but it is becoming more common, and it will continue to increase in frequency. It's certainly something to think about.
    What would you do if one of these people  with a baseball bat broke through your front door at 3 a.m.? Or stepped from behind a tree in your front yard as you left for work or went out to get the paper? Be street smart. Plan ahead. Don't listen to the timid, blind, people who refuse to acknowledge the obvious truth...the victims.  Don't be a victim. Arm yourself.
