Any person who truly believes that a Jewish billionaire paid 7,000 immigrates to travel 1,000 miles or so - is something mentally wrong with them. To blame a whole religion of same, is totally nutso. To kill them is insane, and I blame shithole, his fucked up family and administration and the fucked up GOPs.

their classmates slaughtered, climbed over their dead bodies to escape, or hid under a friend's dead body to prevent being killed - who believes these survivors are actors, have been paid to give their message of "No More"

Who believes this? Now, it's ordinary people tuning into their local RW radio. People I once knew and loved.

Vasily Mikhailovich Blokhin was a Soviet Russian Major-General who served as the chief executioner of the Stalinist NKVD...link to some info on Blokhin is below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Blokhin

Hand-picked for the position by Joseph Stalin in 1926, Blokhin led a company of executioners that performed and supervised numerous mass executions during Stalin's reign, mostly during the Great Purge and World War II. He is recorded as having executed tens of thousands of prisoners by his own hand, including his killing of about 7,000 Polish prisoners of war during the Katyn massacre in spring 1940, making him the most prolific official executioner and mass murderer in recorded world history.

Like John Chivington it was a military deal, so this is a bit different than our solo killers who thought the idea up on their own and went about it with their own private plan..and seem to enjoy the killing

So, Blokhin's work was that of Stalin. One has to read some to know that Stalin was one of the most ruthless and vicious individuals that has ever lived. I do not know if Stalin himself did a lot of murder, but this Blokhin, clearly killed thousands by his own hands. It is hard to know if he enjoyed the killing, but he did it and according to the article a Wikipedia, he did some of it on his own.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Blokhin, as stated above, is different than the serial killers that have been listed ..We are not talking about killing 30 to 50 one at a time.. On orders from Stalin, he killed thousands..but killing is still killing This post is about ..Monsters who kill people At the end of the article is says Blokhin fell from grace, lost his rank died as a disgraced former general. Is he a monster that kills?..I would say so. A different kind of monster, YES,. but as has been said often before......... dead is still dead

No doubt a fair number of Trumpists are already positioned on this same dark spectrum— they laughed about the mail bombs, they are filled with animosity toward anyone who’s not a white Protestant male, and they’ve drawn strength from Trump’s bombastic statements and behavior, which has brought them out from the shadows and into mainstream culture.

With Trump in power (a magnet for insanity), surrounded top-to-bottom by “loyal” Republicans who have no problem with his daily spewing of hate and animosity, all in a country that encourages ownership of death-dealing military style weapons, it’s sadly no surprise that these tragedies have increased in frequency, along with the number of deaths in each incident.

Cowardly suicidal sociopaths energized by someone who looks like them, speaking in terms they can follow, blaming others for their own failures, and allowed to possess arms no sane adult would entrust to a lunatic.

In other words, your typical Trump voter.

On February 14, 2018, a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing seventeen students and staff members and injuring seventeen others. Wikipedia

Start date: February 14, 2018, 2:18 PM CST
Number of deaths: 17
Location: Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Parkland, FL
Non-fatal injuries: 17

Here is a link on this one, Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoneman_Douglas_High_School_shooting

Here is what Cruz said after he was captured: Here is a link to this story.. (story written on Aug 6, 2018) Sun - Sentinel) you can read the whole story if you wish..

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/parkland/florida-school-shooting/fl-florida-school-shooting-nikolas-cruz-confession-20180806-story.html

______________________________________________________________________________________
Just a few minutes after a Broward Sheriff’s Office detective started interviewing the Parkland shooter about how he massacred 17 people, he offered the young man some cold water.

“I don’t deserve it,” Nikolas Cruz told him.

The detective walked outside to get him some water anyway.

“Kill me. Just f---ing kill me. F---,” Cruz said, while he was alone in the interview room but still being recorded.

Cruz said he had been hearing a voice or demons speaking to him for years — right up until that morning and the night before. He claimed it started after his dad died when he was little and that it had gotten worse since his mom died in November, three months before the shooting. He described it as the voice of a young man, about his age,

What sort of monster opens fire on senior citizens in their place of worship

The monsters who do this seem to be white males who generally plan and do it alone. There are exceptions, as I found in the "military monsters" but what kind of person could kill innocent seniors in the place of worship? Sick, self centered, people who cannot center their thoughts on living day to day..(my opinion) These people focus on killing and the joy of killing. After the thrill is over, there often is remorse. Their minds are warped. They cannot stop themselves.
Link to more info on the Parkland Shooting on Feb, 14, 2018...Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoneman_Douglas_High_School_shooting

Nicolas Cruz who killed 17 at Parkland H.S. in Florida on Feb 14, 2018, He was remorseful afterwards After this, there was some talk of passing strong legislation for gun control. The gun was purchased legally. Cruz had been expelled the year before.

...What is to be done.? If you look at the history, you will see many instances of this. It is not only killing senior citizens in their place of worship, it is more, much more. If we as a nation do not focus on solutions, gun control, mental health programs..(Cruz lost the help he was getting when he was expelled) and whatever works, like total background checks, and restrictions on buying these guns..then, (and this is very sad to say) this will happen again, as it happened on Saturday in a Jewish Temple.
..... Yes, Trump insights this, but it is much more than that. Availability of weapons, sick thinking, easy legal purchase, profit motive, a kind of attitude that "killing is ok" and much more. I am sorry this happened, but if you look at the lists, and what has happened in the past, the monsters are likely to strike again. One more thought....

This is not some kind of a movie, this is real. Dead is dead. Parkland, Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, Charleston South Carolina, etc. I am saddened by this horror, but I am frightened that this will happen again in the U.S.A. Right now, we have 330,000,000 people living in this country. (3rd or 4th most populous in the world) Many countries have strong laws and measures to prevent this. The U.S.A has the weakest laws.. We have millions of more guns than any other country. That is not some made up number or a cartoon, or a movie or some news report..This is the truth..

..If we do not enact strong measures to stop this, it is likely to happen again. and ..again..and again..and again...look at the lists of happenings...Yes this will happen again. When? Sometime in the not too distant future.... Remember ...Dead is Dead.
